VC/DC: VideoCD and MPEG player for Dreamcast

[OneThirty8]

Sorry it took so long to reply. Sound is a bit buggy at the moment. That's the next thing I really need to work on. It doesn't really lag, but it doesn't sound too great either. To me, it seems to sound better on low-bitrate streams that I've downloaded from the internet (archive.org has a ton of cool old movies that have fallen into the public domain) but on VCD, it's not so great. I have a few ideas, so I should be able to improve it at some point. I've found most stuff watchable, and the audio and video don't drift out of sync, so you may want to give it a try with a few short movies and see what you think about the sound quality.

I've gone ahead and uploaded an SBI (I didn't realize OneThirty8 had already made one until I had already uploaded mine) to the DCHelp SBI repository.

I also uploaded the source to that same site.

Thanks for the SBI, curt. The only reason I didn't upload one myself was that I hadn't actually tested the one I made, although I'm pretty sure it should work.

Currently, no, and it's not as a high priority as getting better sound playback but I think DivX could be done. I recently got DCDivX beta 4 to compile with the same version of KOS I used for this (except the menu is all screwy), so it's in the realm of possibility and should actually not be hard for me to implement... so, we'll see in the future. I have DCDivX compiled as a library at the moment, and although I haven't tested it, it should work.

would it not be better to used uDCDivX by mekanaizer (which is an improvement od DCDivX..... having said that I'm having trouble finding the source to it

I can't find the source for it either. I don't think it was ever released.

hm looking at his profile the last time he loged into the forums was "Last Activity: April 10th, 2006 16:19 "..... i'm sure when he comes back he will have no problem releaseing the source
