but HD crashed. all source gone.

now, I can make more powerful version, but I think it is no needs because most ppl use DVD rather than VCD.

Not every has the luxury of DVD's and SVCD is great for homemade movies. I'd personally love to see a play that lets you just swap in the CD and play.

Is it even possible to get a SVCD player for the DC that'll run at a decent framerate? My DVD player won't play SVCD's, but will play VCD's, so whenever I want to watch an SVCD, I have to watch it on my computer. I'd really like to see a working (at a good speed) SVCD player for the Dreamcast. Has there been one before that could run at a decent framerate?

You can try this trick to play SVCDs on your DVD player, http://www.geocities.com/newestmoviesencode/dvdvcd

I would also love to see a VCD/SVCD player for DC since my DVD player is hookedup to the TV in the living room I can never get in there to watch anything, and my DC is hooked-up in my room so it would be a huge convience.

I don't think the DC has even remote capabilities of running SVCD's. It would need a hardware MPEG-2 decoder, its just not fast enough for software use. A good VCD player maybe, but SVCD's I doubt will ever run(and if they do, they will never be smooth enough for playback)

karter - just want to mention there already has been one that runs like 15 FPS. Don't think we're gonna see much better then that though.

I too would LOVE a good VCD player for the DC that was free (or cheap) and
supported disc-swapping.

Yeah, Bero. It'd be a great app. I would love to see how it would run, and a swappable VCD player could make life easier, for playing VCD's elsewhere then where a DVD player is.

Hope ya decide to do it.

again, i would love one. And I know a lot of people who would want one.

Go for it

I'm one of this people... my only dvd player is my ps2, and it won't play vcd or svcd. i'd love something to play them on dc.

And, i'd love to see bero's work to be inserted in dcplaya's great GUI.
That would just rock too much.

PS Bero i don't want to give offence by suggesting a subordination of you work to other people's one (those of dcplaya I.E.), it is just a wish. Hope to have explained it well, after all my english is not so good.

Who cares about SVCD.... we just need a decent VCD player. I have a DVD player, and a standalone VCD player, but my DVD player don't play CDRs (except a few select ones) and my Standalone player plays CDRs but locks up when I fast forward or go back... even pauseing it lock up. My only hope is a decent DC one with Playback control.

Bero, we already worship you, so if you can find the time, we would all be eternally grateful..... especially me... *begins to stalk Bero*

it is not a lie.

this is inital experimental version.
http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown/200 ... /dcvcd.zip
I couldn't found latest version.

it is based on GPL'd code, http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/
but no source code.
so it is ILLEGAL release.

bero i thought you lost the source?
