    Hello all
    Is it possible for OSX to play scm files?
    Unfortunately, I thought I do not need window XP already any more. And, I don't want install a window just for playing scm files...

    Thanks

    don't know if there are any good free SMC players around.. the only one I found is VERY old... but I made a port to OSX using Wineskin and it works fine, played a couple smc videos... but its still a piece of junk, not sure why anyone would wanna use smc files. Did you want a copy of the port I tested out?

    here is the old win95 based Lotus SMC player I did a quick port of.. I have no idea if it will do newer SMC files... if you have a newer SMC player, you can try porting it yourself... I suggest using Wineskin (but I may be biased since its my software :p ) or if you can tell me where to get a newer free player, I can try porting it.

    This uses Wine and X11 so its quite a bit larger than it would be on Windows since it has to reproduce a lot of Windows functionality... but heres the link to the quick one I made that worked ok for me if you wanna download and try it. It should work on Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer.

    Lotus ScreenCam Free version for win95, Unofficial Mac port
