VC/DC
About VC/DC
VC/DC is a basic VCD and MPEG stream player for Dreamcast developed by Josh Sutherland (OneThirty8). It is based on code from several open-source projects including libmpeg2/mpeg2dec, mpglib/mpg123, LAME, libID3, GhettoPlay, and vcdimager.
The current version is 0.1a, which implemented a single circular buffer in the audio output system. This improved the viewing experience on some files while rendering others unwatchable. The player is in active development and further improvements in playback quality are expected.
