Dreamcast movie maker?
I remember there was an official kit that was leaked to make Dreamcast movie discs; I was thinking I might convert a few old films and share them here. Is the kit still out in the wild?

Re: Dreamcast movie maker?
depending on what movie format and quality you want.
.sfd - sofdec media player
.mpg - vcd player
.4xm - 4xm media player
.avi - dcdivx
dc media center
mil-cd
imo the best format is dcdivx.
*there is a dreamcast media center that ian has been optimizing.
*there is mil cd that mrneo240 has made a tutorial for.
i would like to see some1 use 4xm for a movie.
you can use 4xm compression for 4xm format.
there are many options and tutorials to create dreamcast movie disks.
the easiest is dreamcast vcd.
you can use disco stu's selfboot it has the gyplay bin already modified so that you can simply put an mpg file in the folder and run the batch script and create a selfboot vcd .cdi
dc divx requires that you use divx version 4.0 to create an .avi that will run with the dcdivx bin file.
for creating an .sfd it is best to not use the sega movie creator, you can make a better quality sfd with TMPGEnc (.m1v and .wav) -- you must use multiple tools to create the .sfd, converting audio and multiplex etc.

Thanks for the info! I used to make selfboot SFD discs back in the day, but it took a bit of effort to convert things over properly. Gyplay seems like the more convenient option, and because I'm utilising a GDemu I could encode at a higher bitrate since I'm not as limited with disc size...if I'm correct the GDemu can support CDI files over 1GB?

2gb limit on gdemu and mdf format.. like it currently is but megavolt hinted it could be unlimited really as he had 32gb like that working on IDE HDD

Re: Dreamcast movie maker?
Want 512x512x fullspeed video i have updated ROQ player that can do that lol It take a age to convert a video to it.. Just place it on the disk it play it problem with most of the players is no controls but for updated gyps player but it's videos are 320x240 and sutter at high bitrate.. dcmc works perfect on demul at 352x240 high bitrate but not hardware it's debug hell finding out why but i will one day.. i can go up to 640x480 as well problem is always sound for me..
Got remember every video player but DCMC is software pixel player.. software rendering

mkandersson1082, I made a quick selfboot script for ya with gyplay bin and ip bin pre hacked.
