FreeVCD works by looking for a directory called 'MGEGAV' at the root
directory of all mounted volumes. It then tries to play all the files in
the directory. So, you can use FreeVCD to play back regular movies full
screen by making a directory entitled 'MPEGAV' at the root of your hard
drive, and placing your movies files within.
