Yes, I know, I'm digging up an old thread.Shadow wrote: ↑August 13th, 2017, 11:56 pm Why did Sony even make a VCD system. Isn't the STR format decent enough? I mean, sure, maybe they were trying to market a whole format (in this case, Video CD's), but I'm sure Sony could have come out with their own movie format for the PlayStation which used the STR format and regular MDEC in the R3000A. Only thing would be you would have to swap discs or if they used a double-sided CD-ROM, turn it over like a Laser Disc.
What's cool though is with PSIO, you can easily swap between multiple ISO's instantly, so it means after 40 odd minutes of playtime from one ISO, the program code would tell PSIO to switch to the next ISO and continue playback of the next 40 odd minutes minutes seamlessly. A whole movie could be played on the PSX without any delays or pauses from the SD Card
I made a "FRIENDS" short which I used as a test about 4 years ago. The quality is really good. Perfectly watchable. Doesn't look good under emulation, but on a real PSX with a CRT it looks fine. Just demonstrates my point

I'd like to know too - asked this question a few years ago and would love to see something like this (especially with some kind of "insert next disc" type of thing after the end of the video so multiple discs could work without psio).
