WWP and...
Question concerning video/graphic display of the 3do w/o the mpeg adapter... Example woody woodpecker series, batman and two stupid dogs demo. How are these programs able to be played w/o the mpeg adapter? I hav search the web for answers and were unable to find one, so I thought it would be best to seek the 3do-godds wisdom.
I'm really interested in creating my own original vcd/cd+g style compatible disc. Can anyone help me out with this procedure?

for playing VCDs you will need the mpeg add-on to play them, and i think the codec used for other things like WWP was called cinepak

i never messed around with any of that so thats all the info i can give
good luck

thanks for the heads up on the link.
it looks like they are moving providers, and i havent looked at the link in over 3 months so my account might be deleted anyway, cant wait to find out .. lol

I always thought it had to do w/the length of the program (I could be totally wrong though). Being cartoons, they were short enough to play w/o the additional hardware unit (another example would be Toon Time in the Classroom)

"UPDATE" Cd+g/mpeg no adapter
...“Google’s your friend” and I hope to befriend the 3DO Zone community as well. Recently I posted an inquiry as to creating VCD authored and compatible with our beloved 3DO systems. One hundred and twenty something people viewed this inquiry, while only like eight felt compelled to reply.
Then I found a similar question already posted and felt that there are “actually more” interested parties to this possibility.
Subsequently, I found this video “atari jag cinepak tutorial” created by RubixDude 6. The video is avail. via Youtube. This video renewed my anticipation in creating my own VCD’s, playable w/o an adapter. If “Jag” head can do it... So thus, We Shall To!
Anyone interested in attempting to assist, feel free to. Check out the aforementioned vid, Check out 3do’s hardware specs and giv it a whirl. I’ll post any relative info... Later

Since my last post, I've been conducting a lot of research in an effort to finding a resolution to the "playable VCD" w/o a VCD adapter.
At this point my thoughts are thus. As with other disc based consoles, creating a bootable vcd is a matter of acquiring the right QT program as well as compiling a list for video and audio specs to which the final disc will be authored.
As I've stated, I'm working on it... following mostly the tutorial supplied by rubixdude6. Unfortunately, I'm not able to find QT Pro v. 6 or 7. I have a mac with QT 7, but it doesn't offer a cinepak compression pak. If anyone has a suggestion, reference, link or otherwise. This would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely wil but asI stated i'm piggy bac'n of and hav lil' experience w/ the hole process and procedure.
The software that you have, is it bundled w/ cinepak? Jus wondering as this is the codec that Universal used for the famed WWP series, which got me interested n this mess n the first place.
I figure Cinepak plus the right settings, equals VCD playback w/o the adapter!

I think ur right Guru, at least as far as understand from my research.
Finding a cinepak encoding program has been a task n it's self, I figured once I found that then I would focus on the factor u mentioned. In theory, I figured that the 3do boot files could be extracted from an existing 3do title like wwp then writing into the compressed vid file. Is this an accurate assumption?
With all the xperience some of the forum members have w/ extracting files .aiff, .raw or whateva, I figured this to b this easiest method (I could be wrong, but I hope not!).
As backwards as this desire is! I've spied n on other forums where similar convo. 4 jag and sega cd. The users of these forums have unlock'd the process for those consoles, so I'm certain it can b done for 3do. Can't wait to see myself on screen via my 3do

Swapping out the video file from an existing disc is definitely worth a shot. I've never created a 3DO CD myself, only extracted files, so I'm not sure how simple (or difficult) it would be. I'm sure some of the guys on here with Dev Kit experience could advise, though.
For the actual video encoding, you might want to try MEncoder under Linux. I bet you've seen this forum post already, but just in case...
