is anyone working on MPEG 2 support, and does anyone know what windows CE is and why it is compatable with my dreamcast?
(seriously folks, it says that windows CE is compatable with my dreamcast right next to the fourth controller port and I want to know WTF windows CE is ans WhyTF it is compatable with my DC.)

I doubt there will ever be a svcd player for the Dc.

WinCE is an OS that some DC games (and HB stuff) run on. GyPPlay, Sintendo, Chef's Love Shack all run under winCE.

The bonus of the Mpeg-2 support would be the one setting in TMPGEnc that temps me, the illegal 750kps Mpeg-2 file that would look awesome, and keep smaller file sizes. I would love to see something like that supported.... Oh well, maybe on the Xbox?

what do you think the main reason MPEG 2 support won't be available for the DC is?

I wasn't worried too much about the kbs, it's just at 750kbs svcs it should look better then Divx and have only a little bit larger file size....

Most coders would probably think "Why do I want to code a SVCD player instead of a VCD player?"

Have you ever burned a Svcd at 750k (or even 1000k)? it will look ugly.
