I know DCPlaya does play .flv files quite good. You should try that.

nahh. I found this player that plays videos at 704x480p. And i just need to know how to convert .mp4 or .flv files into .sfd to play them.

Re: Help or tutorial on converting to SFD files
I'm assuming you mean the 'SFDC Player R11b' by OVERRiDE?
The majority of Youtube '.flv' videos are in resolutions smaller than 704x480, so recompressing them with a new video codec (sfd), let alone upscaling them (enlarging), will result in major video quality degradation. So in that situation, you're probably better off using OVERRiDE's modified version of 'Dcplaya' directly in the foramt you've downloaded them in.
In the case of the MP4 video, which will not play in any Dreamcast video player, you may want to ask over at one of the Russian forums how to convert them to the SFDC player format.

Yup, while the SFDC Player itself is technically allowed to be distributed, I guess...
The only way to convert to that type of format requires a non-licensed copy of an official SEGA program to do it. In other words, the only way to convert videos to SFD is by using a warez released program.
