I'll upload the CDI tomorrow...
The echelon release is different from Dream Movie Player.
if you can upload xing hong vcd player do so, it is a cool vcd player.

Here are the dreamcast VCD players (excluding the homebrew apps)

Dream Movie

Xing Hong

Gyplay

The only vcd player for dc that can be used to make a selfboot cdi that has a movie and vcd player on disk and actually boots the movie from the same disk is gyplay. <--
Yes, you can add the dream movie bin and xing hong bin to a selfboot cdi with a movie...but, it will not see the video file at all.
Xing Hong had a dongle and so did Dream Movie Player.
Also there are a few early homebrew vcd players but they were never improved upon as much as the retail vcd players that were sold as imports and bootlegs lol
fyi impulse owns the ir remote, dongle, and dream movie vcd player.

Yeah, the Xing Hong player can be used but it's a notoriously poor player which constantly goes out of sync and displays MPEG corruption when playing.

VC/DC 0.2 is a pretty good homebrew VCD player but it skips a lot of frames and doesn't have as many features as DreamMovie (rewind etc).

It seems the best player (aside from GypPlay which doesn't allow for disc swapping) is DreamMovie based on the footage on YouTube.

Any one able to remove the dongle check and implement the controller? :)

Ok, that makes sense.
Gypsy play is Gyplay and the person who released it back in the day was called the gypsy.
It was also sold by lik-sang.

I just looked at the dream movie files and I think when I was referring in the first post to it having all of these files from the sdk that it was actually xing hong that has a bunch of unnecessary files from sdk. (including dream photo)

It looks like dream movie might be using the same win ce video player that 4x4 evo uses as well.
*thanks to ian for info about gyplay using this wince video player

Maybe xinghong, dream movie, and gyplay all use the wince video player from sdk that was also used in 4x4 evo lol??

Interesting.

Here are the files for xing hong, dream movie, gyplay.
Gyplay bins are modified for 11702 lba so if you want to use for a selfboot disk (video file/vcd player on same disk)
All other files are unmodified from source.

First version 2000 7

New Video Player: GypPlay 1.0 Posted by CyRUS64 @ 11:37
I'd like to announce the release of a new video player. There are 2 versions:
The first version will have to be used in the same way as Boob!Play and use a Midway rip (you must legally own the original) and can be found here: GypPlay 1.0 (60kb)

The second version is an all-in-one version and contains the necessary files to burn the video player. It can be downloaded from here: GypPlay Full 1.0 (1.7mb)

Once you have unzipped one of the 2 versions (gypplay.zip+midway or gypplayfull.zip) you can then name the videos whatever you want
as long as they end with .mpg, .mpeg, or .avi - please remember that divx-avi is different, and will not work!
If you get confused and don't know how to get this to work, there are lots of sites out there which give instructions on how to get Boob!play to work. This is the same method (minus the midway stuff for GypPlay full), so just follow them.

This video player has been coded by The Gypsy, so all credit goes out to him... expect more great Boob! releases soon :-)
Please email The Gypsy with comments/suggestions.

Quicksilv was the dev that started it btw

Here is the info on where gypsy play came from

update on movieplayer Posted by quicksilver @ 16:03
First of all here is a link on how to use the boobplayer with your mpegs : http://www.geocities.com/lionx2/index.html

Second of all, we are currently redoing the movieplayer to make it much more user friendly.

Things which will be supported in upcomming versions will be :
- proper GUI support
- media control (play, stop, forward, rewind, resume etc)
- volume control
- playing media from any PC cdrom containing mpeg1, avi (only a limited set of codecs), asf, and possibly MP3 as well.
Meaning you will not have to reburn your vcd/asf collection.
- Movie/Sound playlists (either stored in VMU or loaded from cdrom)
- some more features as we see fit

DivX ;) support is not even in the works yet, so don't expect support for it soon.

An updated version will be comming out in the next few days.

If there are people who want to help out by setting up mirrors, mail either me or cyrus.

Cheers,
Quicksilver



The news everyones been waiting for! Posted by CyRUS64 @ 16:52
Recently I modified the Playvideo sample that comes with the WindowsCE development kit, so that it would on startup automatically load a file called "video.mpg" and play it.
The idea was the same as mentioned earlier and using the Midway Arcade Classics game (we do not believe in piracy) delete the midway_1.exe file and replace it with the playvideo executable.
Sonikku tried it and annoyingly it didnt work. Then he tried it again and it worked!
We can't bring you any pics at the moment because Sonikku doesn't have any way of obtaining them, and I don't have the Midway Arcade Classics game to test out, but expect some soon.
Since most of you want this program, here it is:
DOWNLOAD
However this has been tested by 1 person, and is not at all user friendly. You can't stop a video / pause / rewind /fast forward, but its a start.
Follow the described instructions, and put a video.mpg mpeg1 video in the root dir of the cd.

it appears that xinghong, dream movie, and gyplay more than likely use the same win ce video player from sdk lol
the same video player that was used in many retail win ce dc games...

so an official sega released software from the sdk was bootlegged and then sold on dc import sites.
is the reason that a homebrew vcd player was not fully developed at that time due to kos limitations?

I guess its no suprise that this was done.

Now if we could modify the teapot demo like utopia did and use another model instead of a reindeer lol

That makes me wonder if utopia is just a modified version of ginsu loader or a modified bin loader from sdk.
Afterall they ripped the teapot demo from sdk.

Attached is a cdi of dream movie.
