DVD Playback

[MarioMania]

Can it play DVD movies with Software?

like an DVD program

[megalomaniac]

only one version of GC
google: Panasonic Q

Nope, i thought of this as well, would be neat to have a Mini DVD Player.
well my minis have to be played in full size DVD Players.

MFE can do it.

[megalomaniac]

1.4GB limit, so the movies would have to be transcoded and crunched to meet this size..
only panasonic Q can read the real full size DVD movies..

1.4GB limit, so the movies would have to be transcoded and crunched to meet this size..

Have done it many times, Quality Reduction is hardly noticeable on CRT TV's.

MFE can do it.

Nice, Can I burn a Movie on to a Mini DVD and play it on MFE?

[emu_kidid]

yes you can, keep the bit-rate lowish.

[GameCube2]

Double Layer Mini DVD's hold 2.6GB so quality reduction wouldn't be as much.

where do i find this MFE ? i searched and seems like it no longer exists.

[emu_kidid]

I'm pretty sure GC can't handle dual layer, give it a go though.

MFE might be floating around on gc-linux.org

[iggunr]

How about a GC with a Wii drive? can the GC address a full sized 4.7gb dvd?

[emu_kidid]

if MFE doesn't have a limit sure, otherwise you might need to compile it again, or mplayer-ce.

Would the Double Sided Mini DVD's work on the Gamecube

Would the Double Sided Mini DVD's work on the Gamecube

I wouldn't see why not. I haven't tried them before but the only difference is that they are double sided so they should. They do cost more and you can't label them so I'd suggest the cheaper route.

[GameCube2]

Yes they will Work.
