I don't know if you even can. Looking how Dreamcast more then likely dosn't have Windows Media Player installed into it, I don't see it playing videos anytime soon.

You can't watch clips on the internet, but check out DCEmu. They have a few peices of software that allows you to view movies that are burned onto a disk Very Happy

YES YOU CAN watch movies on your Dreamcast from the internet. As long as they are in SFD format. You can go here to watch a wide variety of clips:

Please note they will take like 5 or 10 minutes to download on a standard dialup connection, as they do not stream but must download fully before playing.

Still cool sitting back watching some clips on the DC though. Wink

That, and XPD has some mpeg support. The mpeg file has to be pretty small though.

I got bored one day and I tried out a homebrew VCD player. It was pretty nice... well. Except that the voices weren't sync'd at all.

Cool! I didn't know that! Shocked Thanks nikon for giving me another reason to brag on about how dreamcast is THE GREATEST CONSOLE EVAR! 1 con though, SDF files are quite rare and Planetweb is probably 1 of the only sites that have them.
