Can someone confirm if GIGA videos can be bought and played on MacBooks

The Japanese GIGA video reference seems definitely worth purchasing, but I only have a MacBook. Can anyone confirm if the GIGA videos will work on a MacBook?

You can download their player and sample movie. If that works then their videos work.

The site mentions iOS not Mac.

They say they have a Mac player

I have an M1 but its for work purposes so I can't download and test.

He’s right and I’ve been able to watch their videos on my MacBook.

Thank you both! Just bought it and can watch it on their player. My last question is if it’s possible to have the video as a separate file? Something like a .mp4 or .mpg file?

Nope they are doing this to explicitly prevent pirating not that you're pirating but they don't want people to copy or pass the file around.

Thanks for all the help Mr. X!
