VCDs in dc playa?

sketch7 · Post by **sketch7** » Sun Dec 19, 2004 5:04 pm

I was wondering if dc playa can play VCDs yet and if it can, how well does it play them? Currently, I'm not able to burn the new version of dc playa because I'm out of CDs so I'd appreciate it if somebody could tell me how VCDs do in dc playa.

they dont work. the only homebrew app for dc i know that can load vcd's is DC movie Player test 1 and 2. you have to click on a .DAT file since it doesnt auto load the disc. from my experience, i've only tested this on a vcd on a cd-r and the audio/video was going out of sync a lot.

Well - GypPlay is a homebrew VCD player, too.

Yeah, I've used DC Movie Player but it has sync problems and is no longer in development. And Gypplay isn't very good since you have to burn the .dat on the disc that has Gypplay. Oh well, I'll just keep on hoping for a better VCD player on the Dreamcast.

How bout we fix the sync problems first before adding other features huh?

Also it is no longer being updating or anything anymore because the source code I believe was lost.

I was lucky enough to get a DVD player that likes all variations on VCD for christmas, and I'm no longer stuck trying to play them on my Dreamcast. But I used to, and I wish them luck on synching it, assuming it starts up again.

Yea so did I but it still would be pretty cool to have none the less.

I got a pretty sweet, Cyberhome DVD player for christmas I made some VCDs, however I just think it would be nice to see something play THAT well on DC. I am happy with the DVD player even though Cyber home gets bad ratings

Apex is also supposed to be junk quality, but the fact it plays just about anything makes up for it.

yes I know, my friends GF bought a apex and she dropped a cd wallet on it by accident and it doesn't work now, that quality sucks, CD wallets are light even with cds in it.lol.

yeah. i got to agree with Link2k4 on the Apex comment. we got an Apex dvd player about 2 years ago on one of those after Thanksgiving sales. it cost like $20 iirc. the next spring we went on vacation to Texas and brought the dvd player with us as well as the gamego machine we had and my DC. the DVD player didnt survive the trip. about halfway on the way back home it decided it wanted to refuse playing dvd's altogether and lock up 2 seconds in to playing a vcd or svcd.

but it did play anything i threw at it. between of mpeg1/mpeg2 files on a data cd, mp3's, wma's, jpg's, svcd and vcd videos encoded on just about every program under the sun, it played just about everything but divx.
