Help With Dreamcast VCD's.....

[alucard2050]

I have been makeing VCD's for my DVD player without any problem so for DC it shouldn't be much harder.. I just got a DC today and want to begin learning how to make VCD's for it but, i need the software to do it. I tried the links under tools but one file was an invalid zip and the other needed a password which i don't have. from what i could tell the invalid zip is a file that you burn onto the disk along with the video clip. can anyone help me with where to get the software for it? also, i am now useing Nero to burn vcd's. can i still use it to burn DC vcd's or is there another burning program that is required to do it. THANKS..........

I know this isn't helpful, but if you already have a DVD player, why would you burn VCDs for Dreamcast? I hear the playback quality is absolutely terrible.

to be honest, just because i want the knowledge of it. i heard it wasn't good either but i just want to know that i can do it. DC is in a seperate room and if my wife has the main TV tied up than i can plug a vid into the DC, even if it isn't the best.....

oh yah i almost forgot. it was used and i want to connect to the internet with it but, my question is, isn't there some kind of software that you use to configure your connections and stuff? i don't have it if there is. where can i find it at if anyone knows?????.......

I'm a new Dreamcast owner, but my understanding is you don't need to convert a movie differently specifically for the DC. You should be able to play the same VCD's you play in your other player, you just need a 'VCD Player' disc booted first. Do a search or I can email you one I have. I only tried it once, it played like crap but it did play, but the VCD I tried was actually an XVCD (non-standard), so not sure if that makes a difference. Good luck.
