So, I'd love to take advantage of my 3DO a little more...is there anyway to burn CD-G movies for the 3DO? If so, how do I go about doing it?

You can't burn movies on the CD-G format (to my knowledge). You can burn movies on Video CDs, but you need a Video CD/MPEG-1 Cartridge for your 3DO unit (if you have the Panasonic models they were sold in Japan only).
But really why you want to do that when you have DVDs?
Is it for kicks?
Just for kicks...
I guess I'll get a Phillips CD-i then...there are tons of movies out there for $2 & $3 a piece and the systems run rather cheap...
Do you own a Saturn?
If so you can purchase a VCD card. I own one, it's pretty good. Was watching Chinatown on that, cool stuff.
really? I own like three saturns! Tell me what I need to do...and where do I obtain movies? Okay, I found the video card, now my question is where do I get movies? Will phillips cd-i movies work? will ANY VCD movie work?Quote:

However your Saturn MUST be region modded for Japan in order for the MPEG card to work, otherwise it will take you straight back to the menu when you try to load up a VCD. I've burned my own VCDs out of videos I've personally shot and watched them on the Saturn.
The MPEG card will also allow the Saturn to display PhotoCDs.
Cool...well I ordered the video card, I'll see about getting the region mod/or just a jap console.Quote:

Here's a "black market" retail ad advertising this Saturn card, from the ad section of EGM #75 (October 1995). Yowza!, look at those prices!!! As enticing and fun as those ads were and are to read/watch, I'm glad that we've come a long way since those businesses. Not to mention, lots of inaccuracies and false advertising as well. Fun to see listings for games that were either never released or never intended for release on [x] console.
Where are you getting the card from, T?
Shit which VCD card you're buying? If ordering the Sega brand one it's crap!

Its Hitachi...from the Ebay! $49 bucks, the other two were like $100 I was prepared to spend a 100 or so on a CD-i, but since I don't need a CD-i this is a cheaper alternative...
BUT if I don't have any luck with the video card, I'll be glad to flip it to anyone who's interested...if you are Joe you'll be the first to know (maybe I'll throw in some money and AES games for you too...:D )
If you have a PAR or STKey or whatever... it'll work to convert.
I have the Victor one. What makes the Sega one crap? I skimmed that FAQ you linked to and really didn't see anything derogatory about the Sega card.
I also have 3 MPEG games I think. Lunar, Gungriffon (JP) and some Steam Radio Show thing that came with it.
VCD is just a spec on MPEG2 (IIRC) you can easily burn any movie you have to a CD and make it a VCD that will play in any device that plays VCDs as long as it will read the CDR.
You been ripped. The Hitachi ones are just the Sega ones rebranded.Quote:

VCD is MPEG-1.Quote:
