Seriously, thanks for the reminder, almost forgot about 3DO MPEG support.

Leave it up to pirates to ruin everything.BryWI wrote:I guess i had enough of VCD/SVCD back when the pirates used it.
Actually, I think there was an anime involving wrestling chicks that caught my interest, the name escapes me at the moment. I remember it was pronounced something-"bees". It sounded strange but was very informative regarding dirty dealings in the wrestling industry. It came out exclusively on VCD or SVCD but I'm not sure which one. Was considering picking it up for my Saturn since it also does one of those formats, but I like my 3DO more so I might buy it for that console.
I would purchase the add-on for 3DO if only to extend my consoles uses, longevity. Btw have you owned one for 3DO or otherwise? How was the bitrate? Did the video slowdown much?

I have the VCD adapter for the 3DO (FZ-1). On a CRT TV, the picture quality is about the same as a good VHS player. Swapping discs is the biggest issue, as it is with LaserDisc.BryWI wrote:Maybe someone here as actually used the 3do adapter and can comment on it.
The built-in memory manager is handy, though.

So would the VCD Player on 3DO look & play better or worse?3DO Experience wrote:Yeah, a well made VCD will look better than a VHS tape and doesn't wear out like a tape. But some I have seen look worse. And yeah changing the disc is a pain, luckily with Laserdisc we have auto side changers.

It depends on how the disc was mastered. The adapter on my Goldstar looks good for VCD playback, a DVD player that plays VCDs and has digital noise reduction will look better than the 3DO, however the 3DO looks pretty nice as it's got good hardware decoding.

Lol well glad my picture of my Panasonic 3DO on my webpage came in useful to you........ ha hag40rocket wrote:Hello fellows,
I have a Panasonic 3DO-FZ1 model.
Unfortunaly i broke one of the plastic pins from my AV Expansion cover so i need a new one to fit in my console.
If someone have a spare for me please tell me i will buy.
I left a photo to explain the cover that i need:
Many thanks,
Miguel
As said, the quality is down to compression work etc.. I have a few VCD films, some look pretty damn good, others look kinda bad. My Terminator 2 looks really good for example. Its a philips cdi release. My hong kong version of The Crow 2 looks kinda shabby, but then again it may be intended too since its a dark gritty film to begin with?
Either way, ive got both the Panasonic versions of the vcd adaptor, and ive watched Terminator 2 on them both numerous times. Good film and fun to watch it through the 3DO.
But needless to say, dont use it as your major source of vcd-watching if you can avoid it, it _will_ shorten the lifespan of your laser unit.
