Same problem here. Is there NO WAY we can play DiVX on the Dreamcast?

No. There is absolutly NO way to play Divx on Dreamcast. However, you can watch an MPEG movie. Or a standard .AVI, but not Divx.

YES you can!
(sorry about the microsoft quote ;)

The only way to play DivX on your DreamCast is to convert the Div-X *.avi
to SofDec Data Format (*.sfd) using Sega Dreamcast Movie Creator (sorry, no link). SFD is the format the dreamcast is playing any type of movie intro you see on your DC games.

Hope this helps you some.

I said "there is no way to play DIVX on Dreamcast", and SFD isn't Divx.
But if you think of it that way, why use SFD? You can use MPEG! Much better.

SFD is MPEG video with a proprietary audio stream.
There are many SFD tools out there, just make sure you decode the audio from any movies you wish to burn (for this you can use VirtualDUB).

The problem is, the player is illegal. You could however.. use a web browser.

To correct a few people...

You CAN play DiVX on Dreamcast. Not converted DiVX to something else... but real DiVX.

Problem is its only 5fps :roll:

The source is avalible over on boob I beleave.

S*olidsnake: You can burn Dix-X onto a CD and play it on a DC if there was a good enough player available. But Div-X will not play on a normal VCD player (such as a DVD player or CD-i, etc. with MPEG-1 card).

If anyone would like to see what kind of quality you can get with .sfd encoding you might like to check out this page on your DC browser and see why sfd encryption is the closest thing to DivX you'll get on DC in terms of quality, compressed size and playback rates.
