Playing VCD in Dreamcast !!

[Mag]

First download the gypplayer from this link: http://www.boob.co.uk/files/GypPlay_LikSangEdition.zip

 

First download both the file: nero burning rom and gypplayer.

 

-Now..burn the image of the utopiacd 1.1 (which is the.nrg of nero) then you have the utopia1.1 boot cd

 

-now unpack your gypplayerfull.zip into an empty directory... and add the.mpg or.avi or.mpeg file of your choice... now burn the contents of this directory on cd...

 

-all you have to do now is to boot with your utopia 1.1 and exchange with your gypplayer+movie cd....

 

-Thats all..enjoy:)

I downloaded utopi boot disc v1.2 off kazaa? is that real or has 1.2 came out since the first post?

[DreamCastLover]

It probably is real as there is a Utopia v1.2. You can never tell with things from kazaa though.

[Vetes]

It came as a.nrg file so I believe that it is right.

How do i use version 1.3?

 

its weird it looks like a swap trick type thing...the CD spins and just goes back and forth from the licsenced or endorsed by Sega to black to licensed or endorsed by Sega

 

i have 1.1 or 1.2 im not sure but 1.3 supposedly works on VGA thats why i want to use this because i play everything on VGA possible

i've tried to play.avi movies on my dreamcast.

i've used gypplayer, but the problem that i got the error message "not mpeg1 encoded.

 

the.avi i'm trying to run needs a codec is that the source of the problem and how can i resolve it?

 

Thanks

I have a better method of doing this

 

Download the VCD Toolkit, it has a guide and tools for making ANY movie into a Dreamcast VCD AND it makes them selfboot/VGA compatible

 

its EXTREMLY easy and it WORKS!!

 

if anyone wants it contact me

Does this player support the VCD 2.0 format? I downloaded a player quite a long time ago, but it only did 1.0.

[Shibathedog]

yeah it should support 2.0, but remember, 1.0 is actually VCD and 2.0 is actually SVCD not many programs use the numbers anymore.

 

and a tip

 

MAKE SURE YOU USE DIVX 5.10 WHEN YOU USE THE ABOVE TOOLKIT I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!

 

I used 5.11 and it didnt work, it sucks i know, but you dont really gain anything except stupid new icons and useless features you wont ever use from 5.11

why dont you just spend £25 at Argos and buy a compliant DVD player from Acoustic Systems lol..... save yourself a whole lot of hasstle, plus youll be able to play DVD's on it - watching VCD on DS sux.... period..... Itll do it, but why bother when theres so many other cooler things you can be doing with it !
