Hello. I´m trying to play a VCD in dreamcast, using Gypplayfull1. I crack a DVD, and obtain the mpg file of the film. I can watch this film, so I suppose that it´s well done. I flow the instructions, and extract the Winzip file in a Temp directory. I copy the film to that directory, and burn it with Nero 4.0, setting ISO level 2, Mode 1 (CDROM only, not XA), Joliet filesystem. After all this I load the boot cd, change the disc.... and it wont work. Could anyone help me please????? What am I doing wrong? Do you now another way of watching films on Dreamcast?

Thank you very much

If youre not getting the red Gypsie play screen with control instructions then youre burn isnt working and doesnt have anything to do with the format of the movie (gyplay doesnt play odd codecs).. use Nero 5.0.3.8 and try burning at a slower speed .. if you already have a dvd player i think you will find that the quality is better just playing the vcd.. dreamcast quality isnt as good

I actually suggest that you use Nero 5.0.3.8 (found on dccopyworld) to burn the gyplay folder and added movies into an .nrg image file..(using same options as described in gyplay instructions but change the cdrecorder to virtual image). Then download bin2boot program at http://www.emuheaven.com/xeal/b2b-cdda-b1.zip and place the bin2boot.exe (u can use this program to make almost any DC bin iso or dat file into selfbootable) file in same folder as your new .nrg image file. Then change the name of your new xxxxx.nrg file to xxxxx.bin, then all you have to do is use your mouse to drag the newly named .bin file and drop it on the bin2boot.exe program.. the program will create a .cdi selfbootable discjugger file that u can burn using disc juggler (u may have to search for the new file called image.cdi- bin2boot sometimes places this file in your windows directory or your main c:\) Then u have a selfbootable DC movie disc.
