MAC

to use the CD on your Mac if you have Quicktime version 3 or later. You can download

The only odd thing is that the CD file is named with a .mpe instead
of mpg and it may have to be renamed in order for it to work. This requires
copying the CD to your hard drive which takes about 500 MB of disk space. It's
well worth the trouble if you have the space to do it, as there are lots of great
tips. By the way, I didn't know how to do this all on my own. My husband is a
systems engineer for Apple, and he did it for me. Hope this helps! Required
software on the Mac: QuickTime 3 or > These are the direction
for Quick Time 4: 1. Place the video CD in your CD drive and open the
file and place the mpe file in your hard drive.
2. Click once on the name
and change mpe to mpg
3. Open Quick Time
4. Go to file, open and click
on the star mpe file in your hard drive and you will be viewing the CD. About
