Wired4DVD Decoders for Old Macs - $19

WiredStream BoardHere’s a crazy one. We’re reorganizing our warehouse and came across a stash of our old Wired4DVD / WiredStream decoder cards. The Wired4DVD is a hardware decoder that adds DVD playback to older Macs that didn’t have the horsepower to handle it on their own. WiredStream BoardIt was well known for its high quality playback and great features. It can play DVDs from your DVD drive, but also has the ability to play VIDEO_TS folders and MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files (.mpg, .mpv, .mpa). It can overlay the video playback on your computer monitor, or you can hook up a TV to its composite or s-video outputs. It even has SP/DIF output so you can send the digital audio to an external amp/decoder.

They originally sold for $499. But if you happen to want one, we’re essentially giving these away for $19, including shipping (US only).

  • These cards only work with OS 9 (version 9.2.2 recommended). Your computer has to be native-booted into OS 9; classic mode is not supported.
  • They require a standard PCI slot
  • They will not work in a G5 or Intel Mac!
  • Here’s a link to the manual, if you want to check out how it works.

    And a special order form if you’d like to get one (or more).
