Dreamcast Divx Player

Is there a such thing as the Dreamcast Divx Player? While searching mIRC, I have seen some users with it, but I think it's the standard VCD player. If it does play Divx files, where can I get it?

There is a way to view DivX movies on your DC, but it takes a lot of time, because you need to convert DivX to sfd. If you interested in it mail me, i'll send your a prog.

i heard you shouldn't play vcd's with your dc because it may shorten the life of the laser. i'm not sure if its true though

I've heard from a DivX Player for DC. But it is to slow - only 20 percent of orginal speed, because the dreamcast hardware is not powerful enough. So you should forget about such an player. If you want to watch movies on DC you have to convert the files to an uncompressed mpeg1-stream and play it with GypPlay.
