How to make a favorite scenes movie
with MacVCD X
Mac OS X Video Media Player
MacVCD X allows you to create a small file containing references to sections of a movie that is stored separately. This is called a Movie File. You can use this feature to create a movie file that will play your favorite scenes from a VCD or QuickTime movie. This will create a very small file containing references for your favourite scenes from the movie. You will need to insert the VCD into the drive (or open the QuickTime movie) to play the movie clip file.
