To watch these movie files, you can use popular media players like VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC), and PotPlayer, which can seamlessly handle and play such files. You might need to adjust the settings of your media player to allocate the appropriate codec for playback. For codec packages that provide support for various video formats, consider installing K-Lite Codec Pack, which is compatible with most media players.

Game Files

In certain situations, CD1 files can also represent game files, with some computer games requiring multiple CDs to install and play. CD1 files may correspond to the first installation disc. Opening such files may require the original game installation software or an appropriate emulator/software that allows for older games to run on modern operating systems. Visit websites like GOG.com or Steam, which offer several classic games adapted for modern systems.
