With GypPlay, you can add a file to your disc that will display the startup message and launch your movie straight away. boob!play doesn't have any startup screens as far as I know and goes straight into your movie, but with no playback control. It is possible to burn a VCD as the first two data tracks and then burn DC Movie Player as the third (Zac made a guide in the Guides Forum), making a VCD that will also self-boot the player when inserted into a Dreamcast, but you would probably have to press a button for it to play. DCDivX will auto-play after around 30 seconds of inactivity.

Shut up. Don't even think about it, just do it. The authors of DCDiX have done a brilliant job and have created an application that was better than anyone could have imagined, out-performing a PC with double the spec. If all you're going to do is bitch and whine about hard-working developers who have put a lot of time and effort into making something that others can enjoy for free, then don't even bother posting. Not just in this topic, but anywhere on the site.

im still hoping some charitable soul out there will convert the 'test 2' discjuggler image to an older discjuggler image (3), the 'test 1' worked great, but i cant even uncompress 'test2', someone please

its a small file so its should take that much time, im saving up to go buy a cheap pc, just for dc stuff, but until then i need your guru-istic help.

you can even email me the new cdi if need be and i will post it to the dcemulation admins so they add it to the dcmovieplayer page.

help a brother out

i think i've found a bug. i'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, as i have not read the whole topic. this bug involves a whole lot of files/folders on a cd. if there are way too many files/folders (ie, roms, pics, etc.), the player will not load or will reset. thus the reason why this app resets itself when useing selfboot inducer with a whole boatload of other files. this can also be described as dcmovieplayer displays the files on screen. instead of choosing a directory to open, every file on the cd is displayed on the startup screen.

this could be a reason why some people have trouble booting this app.

Not strictly true. Just about any format of video you can download in AVI form is supported, but those massive DVD-rips that are around 700MB would be too much for the Dreamcast to handle.

Desynching audio is to be expected.

It will help to a certain degree, but for the larger files, it probably won't work. It's mostly the resolution that's the tricky part.

Not necessarily... it depends on how this player develops. DVD has a resolution of 720 x 480, which isnt much higher than what I've had run well on DCMP. However, if they use a monstrous bitrate, it'll overwhelm it quickly. It's easy enough to re-encode it though.
