MovieSeeD

Beta software: use at your own risk. Read the full MovieSeeD disclaimer before downloading or using this software.

A new home for your MovieCD collection.

Watch from the disc. Save an MP4 or AVI. Enjoy familiar playback controls, subtitles and clear on-screen volume and seek displays.

Made by Albert Mark Burdge. Version 0.3.2 Beta for Windows x64.

Play Motion Pixels MovieCD discs on Windows

MovieSeeD is a MovieCD player and converter for Windows 10/11 x64. It opens supported Motion Pixels MovieCD AVI files from your disc or copied files, and can export H.264 or H.265 MP4, or MJPEG AVI. You must supply your own supported Sirius NT 5.02 codec; no proprietary codec or movies are bundled. Follow the MovieCD playback quick start and Sirius codec requirements.

MovieCD, VCD and SVCD are different formats

MovieCD uses Motion Pixels video in AVI files; standard VCD uses MPEG-1 and SVCD uses MPEG-2. MovieSeeD handles supported MovieCD playback and conversion. To make a VCD or SVCD from a readable video file, use Disc Workshop. Neither program guarantees compatibility with every disc, codec or player.

Before you download

You need your own supported Sirius NT 5.02 codec. It is not included. The Windows 95 codec found on many MovieCD discs will not work. MovieSeeD plays supported Motion Pixels MovieCD AVI files.

Read the requirements and codec instructions.

Windows 10/11 x64 target. Unsigned beta. The installer includes a Start menu shortcut and an optional desktop shortcut. To keep MovieSeeD on the taskbar, open it, right-click its taskbar icon and choose Pin to taskbar.

Watch your collection

Play directly from your MovieCD or a copied AVI. Fullscreen controls stay hidden until you move the mouse to the bottom. Up and Down change volume; Left and Right jump one minute. A brief overlay shows each adjustment.

Save an MP4 or AVI

Choose H.264 MP4 for broad compatibility, H.265 MP4 for smaller files, or MJPEG AVI. The MP4 encoder is included. Convert matching videos from one disc into one file, with progress and estimated time remaining. The 3.75 GiB limit applies to AVI only.

Make viewing comfortable

Choose an aspect ratio, save snapshots, load SRT or WebVTT subtitles, or switch to larger high-contrast controls. Optional automatic captions need a separately supplied whisper.cpp engine and model.

Get started

Install MovieSeeD, import your supported original codec from the File menu, then insert a MovieCD and choose Open MovieCD.

About this beta

Playback and seeking have been tested on a local disc, and short H.264 and H.265 exports passed. Compatibility with every disc and computer is not established. Clean Windows installation testing remains outstanding. Read the testing page for details.

Do not process files you cannot afford to lose without backups. Use only material you own or are authorized to process. No permission to infringe copyright, circumvent protection or violate third-party terms is granted.

Third-party software and services

External tools, codecs, drivers, players, hardware, websites and services are supplied by their respective owners under their own terms.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALBERT MARK BURDGE, STATION 823, THE AUTHORS, DEVELOPERS, CONTRIBUTORS, PUBLISHERS AND DISTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, INJURY, CLAIM, COST OR EXPENSE ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO MOVIESEED, ITS INSTALLATION, USE, INABILITY TO USE, OUTPUT, DOWNLOADS, DOCUMENTATION OR SUPPORT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

Spaghetti and meatballs

The foregoing includes, without limitation, poor meatballs rolling, sliding, falling or otherwise escaping from plates of spaghetti, lost sauce, stained tablecloths and any related culinary catastrophe. This humorous example does not extend an exclusion beyond what applicable law permits.

Claims caused by misuse

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for third-party claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use, infringement of another person’s rights or intentional misuse of the software. This does not require you to cover liability that the law requires the developer or publisher to retain.

They do not exclude or limit liability or rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including any applicable mandatory consumer protections. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted.
