[QUOTE="alexfree, post: 10166935, member: 573749"] No limit indeed. I forget all of the specs but I think the Dreamcast has an 8x CD read speed so it can do 3600 kilobits a second. 384 kilobits a second stereo audio takes up some of that, so 3200 kilobits a second is basically the max for the video track (I really need to update the program to mention this since I did my math wrong before). The playback is incredibly high quality compared to every other homebrew media player I tried back then. I really wanted to play video on my Dreamcast when I bought it and never found a program that didn’t stutter and crash under every kind of setting and codec I tried anyways… I got sick of this and discovered the native Dreamcast FMV format sofdec, which is like a weird proprietary MPEG-1 like thing. Back in the hey day of the Dreamcast people were releasing 100min cdi files so it was for sure compatible with the media of the day. I do know tho that some modern 100min media (of course) doesn’t work with the Dreamcast. I have never tried any of this though, just standard 80 min media. There’s nothing like watching movies and anime on a Dreamcast, looks great on my 4k 50’ tv from my bed anyways. [/QUOTE]

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

- you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM

You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
