I wonder how these look like. Today you could squeeze a 480p movie down to 700MB and it would still look decent with something like AV1 but with the kind of codecs I'm guessing the DC can decode a 700MB movie probably looks like shit on it

>>10201773
>We have dvd at home

>>10202086
I can play VCDs on my DC. I can play them on my Saturn, PS1, even N64.

>>10201773
Why couldn't Sega do something like this?

>>10202086
it's just a VCD. MPEG1 quality. I don't know if Dreamcast can play SVCDs.

>>10202086
your decoder gonna choke on cpu. if you using exotic codecs to save on space like h265. you must have hardware accel or it gonna stutter. i had issues with playing back 720p h265 on android tv sticks of all things
needless to say older devices wont even support it, but psp supports h264 so that's something and pretty modern. especially considering it came out in 2004 when most devices still coped with xvid/divx and mpeg1/2

>>10202086
Maybe something like this.

>>10202086
if they're 1CD then they're divx avi played with DCDivx which goes out of sync pretty much immediately once you start playing. if they're 2 disc then they might be gypplay which works fine with mpeg1

>>10202086
You'd be amazed with what shit quality a CRT TV can squeak by with

>your decoder gonna choke on cpu.
And yet it didn't. You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.

I wonder if the Dreamcast would had sold more(at least in center asia) if it could play vcd's out of the box.

SOMEBODY

>>10204235
I doubt it. Nearly everyone already had a VCD player by the time the DC came out and they were cheap fuck. But it seems kinda retarded that they wouldn't just make it an out of the box feature since it can do it. Maybe it would have been too embarrassing to be flogging their console as a VCD player against the PS2 that was a DVD player?

>>10203060
hardly surprising given Sony was always pushing their tech superiority to the limits and trying to shove everything possible into their newest game consoles especially.

>>10204552
I always thought these only had a few cartoons each. How in god's name did they fit two features in one cart?

>>10204559
>Nearly everyone already had a VCD player by the time the DC came out
What country you from???

>>10204751
A kind of complicated and irrelevant question. But I guess I should have been more precise, knowing the ultra high level of autism on this board.
By the time the DC was released, nearly every living person who would ever watch a VCD already had a device capable of playing VCDs available for their use.
I in no way meant to imply that nearly every Amish baby had their own personal VCD player, that nearly every tomb had been reverse raided and a VCD player installed or whatever else the statement "ackshually implies". Also, the context of the conversation was Asia.

Ah. I see. Best of luck on your twisted road of delusion.

I think it's two separate carts. I used to have one for Shrek 2. You wouldn't believe how bad looking that shit was lol.

>>10201773
> the first time I ever saw The Phantom Menace was on a VCD my friend Chad got somehow that was in some chingchong language with hardcoded English subs that came on two discs

I saw it two weeks before it released in theaters in the US. I thought it was funny as fuck because people were just starting to line up and camp out for tickets and I had already seen the movie.

>>10204559
Nobody had vcds, more people had beta max and laser discs. Shut the fuck up with your zoomer revisionism

>>10205216
> nearly every living person who would ever watch a VCD already had a device capable of playing VCDs available for their use.
> who would ever watch a VCD
Your argument is disingenuous. Not that many people watched vcds in the first place. Stupid faggot, take your Marxist tactics back to plebbit, cross dresser.

>>10205406
>take your Marxist tactics back to plebbit, cross dresser.
meds etc etc

>>10205417
So, you stay pedantic after I call you out for using Marxist argumentation tactics (logic fallacy cherry picking/suppressing evidence).
>meds
Glow harder

>>10205436
im not even the same guy you retard lmao

>>10205439
It’s an anonymous image board, dipshit. Htf am I supposed to know that? You didn’t write enough to convey any difference, newfag.

>>10205485
Ips*

>>10205475
unironically you can do this?

>>10205609
Yup

>>10205270

oh pee ee

>>10205396
At least a billion. stfu with your zoomer projecting.

Cope harder. I'd tell you to read the thread, but if you were capable of that you wouldn't be shitposting. Stay mad little man.

>>10205919
h-how?

>>10205935
Look at this man who pretends to be a women. no counter arguments just bullshit, like usual. You’re wrong most people didn’t have vcds, watch vcds or own a vcds player. Keep dilating, sweaty

>>10204559
we had a VCR+CD/DVD machine in the early 00s. was that common?

>>10204616
>>10205281
I think I remember reading that there was a custom "3D Memory" chip inside the cartridges that helped them store all that data. I do know that the combo feature cartridges look even worse than the regular ones as they had to squeeze two movies on one cart.

>>10206102
I'm sorry your parents don't love you and won't accept you as the girl you feel like inside so you need to throw tantrums on the internet for attention

>>10206193
I don't think it was very common but I knew several people who had them.

>>10204369
Man of culture.

>>10204369
I don't get it.

>>10206717
More projection from the bearded lady, nice non argument, retard.
