This software convert DreamCast Movie file (.sfd) to MPEG-1 (.mpg).

you need external mp2(MPEG-1 Audio Layer I/II) encoder.
default is tooLAME.
you also can use mp3(MPEG-1 Audio Layer II),but can't play with Windows Media Player(very noisy). I heard Xing Mpeg Player work fine with mp3.
in my view, famous LAME or gogo encoder looks can't generate layer I/II. is it right?

  sfd2mpg [-c "encoder"] <sfd file>

option
 -c "encoder"   

ex: use tooLAME with 160kbps

	sfd2mpg -c "toolame32 -b 160" movie.sfd

ex: use SCMPX with Layer-II

	sfd2mpg -c "C:\progra~1\scmpx\scmpx /e /l2" movie.sfd


What is sfd?

SFD format is almost same MPEG-1 System format.

o audio streams is ADX adpcm format.
o video stream is I,P picture only. not used B picture.
o usualy mpeg has one system header for audio and video,
  but sfd has two system header: one for audio, another for video.
o sometime additional data at top of file.


IMPORTANT:
  don't distruibute converted data follows copyright law in your country.
  at least Japanese law, "personal use" only. "personal use" means yourself, your family, and so on.
