For DCMC it's vram and the slow ass dreamcast ACIA sound chip

video is all Hardware gpu opengl which is hella fast but 352x240 we max out vram sending the stream.. sound hardware is so slow i have to sync it 4 to 8x slower then video

try doing that math it do your head it making code sync when the video is up to 3 to 4 mins a head of the decoded sound stream..

320x240 Movies works good with very low bitrate , Divx 400bits 22/64 stereo Works with synced sound through whole movies.


Yes with a bitrate at 500 at most including video and sound
