Bloody hell ! What's the DivX playback like - is it comparible to DCDivX? And has the (S)VCD playback speed increased any? Either way, great job, mate .

and this is only the test version!

What's the DivX playback like - is it comparible to DCDivX?

I'd say its as good or better than DcDivX..

[miracleman]

wow playback is as good as dcdivx without the stutter dcdivx has at the start. will now encode at higher res to see what it will do... lookin good.cheers bero!!!

[polochon]

That's just wonderfull Bero !!

For the divx thing, IMO the playback is much better and the sound is very good VS dcdivx .

and like said ZakMc it's just a test version

it can play big resolution divx with big slowdown but the image quality is great.

Again thanks Bero

[montell]

When will we see the final version of the movie player then?

[ZacMc]

the sound is very good VS dcdivx

I heard some popping noise in a divx movie I watched.. It wasn't there when I watched it in my computer or DcDivX..

When will we see the final version of the movie player then?

When Bero releases it.

[az_bont]

I tested it with two VideoCDs, both encoded in PAL (352x288) and the video was fine, but the sound kept skipping at regular intervals of about 2 seconds. Still, very impressive for a test version - I'll have to throw together a few DivX clips to test whilst I'm at it.

seems that it 's exactly the contrary for me

I've tested it with 2 divx coded in mono with lame, and it sounds much better than dcdivx for me

I think I used the radium codec..

Bero, you are a true hero, I have been watching this forum everyday after work since I first heard about your player!!!!

Thanks man!!!

The long wait for a decent freeware video player for my loved DC is over!!!!

I have a dvd player and a computer with tv out, but I have always dreamt about how cool it would be if I could use my dreamcast for movies and music videos instead!!!!

I have convinced a few of my working mates to get Dreamcasts, and we are all very excited!!! Thanks, thanks , thanks!!!!

SWEET MOTHER OF....I LOVE THIS THING!

...sorry...and all I got past was the description...I love that Real playback...that's AWSOME!

Bero...you are my hero....

Later!

I love you I love you I love you even if you don't release the full version I'm satisfied thanks bero works awsome with few glitches but that's expected with any new program I bow before you

[Shapyi]

WOW Bero! This is a great release. I really hope you continue developing it. For a first release its really good. The DivX playback is nice and has the quality of DCDivX! As for VCD, its a lot better then XingXong and if you get full speed that would be amazing. Thanks for releasing this. Good luck

[fatheadpi]

JESUS H CHRIST!!!

THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL MEDIA PLAYERS!!!

Screw retiring tonight, I gotta test this shlt!

HOLY F*CK!!!

[ShinAkuma]

Does this support the playback of .ogm files?

If it does, this would indeed be the best thing, ever.

[doragasu]

Bero Rocks again!!!!! Great release!!!!

どうもうありがとうございます

[ZacMc]

Does this support the playback of .ogm files?

Nope.. At least it wouldn't play the one I tested.

Guys, try a non-standard low-bitrate VCD. I took an old GypPlay disc with both Return of the Jedi VCD discs crammed into one 605 MB file and made a non-standard VCD in Nero. No audio stutter, looked better than GypPlay does, synch was right on, and the only video glitches were during high-action sequences. No doubt these glitches are because of the low quality video file and not the player.

I'm gonna try some encodes in between this and VCD-standard bitrates when I have some more time.

DivX also looks better than DCDivX. I'm going to experiment with this also.

In all, I have to say that this is an amazing release not only because it supports just about any format you could want, but because the picture quality is superb, and sound is really good too.

[ShinAkuma]

I tried it out too, and yeah, ogm is not supported. I would highly recommend it for a more "final" release. The fact "Test Version" is always displayed is a bit annoying, but you can easy forgive that as that's exactly what this is.

I've found the higher your divx encode rate is, the more your sound will stutter. Also, I was not able to get real media to play at all. Is there any tricks to get that going?
