Is there a utility to recover files or streams from XCD? I couldn't find such a proggy, but guess I could try to build a graph in graphedit.

I'm trying to recover files so they can be played on a Mac, which brings me to question #2:

Is there a way to play XCDs on a Mac -- either directly or with a utility such as above?

I'm new to Macs and mode-2 seems to be largely unsupported. Any odds that the Mac virtual PC emulation would work with the windows utilities? Does directshow work in emulation?

Lots of questions, I know; I don't yet know my way around the Mac forums.

Thanks,

UPDATE:

Graphedit works to extract the file. Render the file and remove the splitter, decoder, renderers. Replace with a muxer and write the file back to your hard drive.

Still interested in a user friendly ap and a Mac solution though!

I dont know if it helps but there are some proggies in the xcd site that can make the .dat file to avi.ogm etc.I sometimes use one of them that come with gui because vd cant read the xcd's .dat file
