Title: VCD SVCD on CD32
Post by: ikir on April 27, 2003, 12:35:34 PM

Does CD32 support VCD and SVCD?
Is possible to see it without a FMV card or coldfire card? in a little window or something?

VCD 1.1 and 2.0 yes, SVCD no.

If you can get a FMV card it plays VCDs great but as saying that you can buy a DVD player what will play DVD/VCD/SVCD/MP3/CDDA/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVCD for very cheap these days (60 UKP).

I recently sold a FMV cart to someone for 50 UKP and got the above DVD player last week and what a cracking player it is.

Thanks Paul!

But CD32 plays VCD only with FMV card? Or FMV card play it at full screen? :-?

When Coldfire accellerator will be released i'll buy one for myCD32 :-)

CD32 needs the FMV card atm for the power because playing a VCD on a 020 Amiga/AGA would just be bad and not even slightly watchable.
