Lalim VCD Player

Before the extended use of DVDs, video CDs were the first mediums used in distributing movies on optical discs. VCD is a format that with passing time has become less used and has lost the greater part of software developers that catered to applications which deal with it.

There are though some applications that have “survived” and still allow you to play VCDs. Lalim VCD Player is a very lightweight application designed to play video CDs in a simple manner.

It displays a more than comprehensive interface which makes it usable by anyone, regardless of their experience with computers. You get a straightforward design that places all the control buttons for video playback in plain sight. With Lalim VCD Player it’s possible to play, pause, adjust the volume and browse through the movie using a seek bar.

Another thing that Lalim VCD Player can do is play audio CDs that are loaded into your drive. You are provided with a front panel that displays 18 buttons which you can click and the application plays the track located at that position on the CD. It’s a nice little feature which at that time made the player stand out. Now, the lack of an actual playlist is not so easily overlooked.

A thing that is unwillingly going to render Lalim VCD Player extinct, is the fact that it can only play movies that are located on a disc. You don’t have the possibility to load a video file from your computer and since CD’s are slowly taking the place of floppy discs, it won’t be long until Lalim VCD Player becomes another example of what once was.

In closing, if you have a VCD laying around your attic or in a box in the garage, you can definitely pop it in your disc drive and let Lalim VCD Player do it’s job.
