I was wandering if an FLV player for the Dreamcast would be a good idea... the quality of the flv videos are somewhat good and have a smaller size than an mpeg
(had a mpeg movie file that was 257mb and transcoded into an flv 148mb file [it looked exactly the same])

I am pretty sure that this FLV player is open source (but then again i may be wrong)

Its my understanding that flv is based around Macromedia/Adobe Flash, so we'd need a recent Flash Player to make any use of it. There's no Flash player for the DC (and Flash isn't open-source), so I have to say there's little chance of a port of this.

Flash is very resource intensive, and the PW Flash support is very limited.

wrong you complete noob ;)

DC Flash (http://dreamcast.dcemu.co.uk/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,67,170) by Scherzo, i think its based on flash 4.

there is also an open source flash 7 player called Gnash (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/)
