SVCD/ VCD on DC

This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications. Porting requests and developmental ideas are not to be made here; you can make those here. If you need any help burning discs for homebrew software, this is the place to ask as well.

Give it a try and find out ;)

Firsty, Bero...Sounds brilliant im about to burn and see how it is. A great addition to the DC's HB scene. And people say this scene is dying...

To the post above. When I read post's like this I can't help but think you must only be here for free stuff. Personally, I like to d/l HB stuff for the DC, including every version, just to wath t grow. Follow the coders ability and talent etc. It isn't all about downloading something which works perfect, it's about seeing a first release, then watching it become more and mroe efficent until it start's getting noticeably brilliant. No offence meant by this, I just thought id say. Bero puts effort into this and you say 'Not worth a burn'...

Great Job Bero! :D
I hope you find the more recent build later. I still think it'd be worthwhile to do a new one from scratch and know that a LOT of people would appreciate your efforts. Reasons to start a new one from scratch:

1. Coolness factor of being able to play VCD's and SVCD's on Dreamcast for free!
2. Not all DVD players can play VCD's or SVCD's
3. Not all DVD player can play CD-R's therefore making it impossible to play homemade VCD's
4. Dreamcast is more portable than a DVD player and can be taken to friends houses who don't have one

If anyone else wants to add a reason go ahead. :P

I didn't mean it quite how your sounding it out..... did you read the rest of my post? I think its amazing, but I meant to say, not worth burning if your expecting a perfect VCD player. already its better than the official DCVCD player that I forked out for, and I'd rather use this one than that. Sorry that you took offence, and sorry to Bero if he did also, I meant no kind of offence to him, as he is clearly an amazing individual. I only had one CDR I burnt this on it, and am glad I did :) Once again, great work. Sorry for ANY missunderstanding.

Shame you lost the source, Bero. Otherwise, this could end up as the best VCD player available on the DC.

To use this player:
Burn the .nrg image with Nero, or the .cdi image with DiscJuggler. Put it in your DC and wait for it to load

Now take out that disc and put in a VCD or SVCD and hit the yellow X button. Your movie will play.

Yeah...I noticed nobody bothered to make a TAO image...and CDI2TAO (or atleast the version I have) doesn't like the CDI file...and I, having never found a app. without an ip.bin, have no clue how to selfboot the darn thing....

I'd LOVE to see this thing in action...that is IF I can ever get an image to burn....

Try the latest release... just search for cdi2nrg on http://www.google.com and you should find the latest version somewhere.... it can convert all versions of DJ images ;)

Does the latest CDI2Nero convert to TAO aswell ? Cause I think that's why he wanted CDI2TAO.

YAY! IT WORKED!!! If anyone needs a TAO image, get mine here. Thanks for the suggestion an update....

Now...on to talk about the app. itself.....

I LOVE it.... Seems pretty close to full...except for that big "EVALUATION VERSION" thing accross the top...but that's cool.

I think I speak for the most of us when I say that you would be are hero if you can do this again.

Hope to see more of this!!

Later!
