SFD2MPG 2022-08-18

No permission to download
All movie files on the Xenosaga 3 iso are saved in a format called .sfd. This is an old format that originates on the Dreamcast. While I have no idea how or why a late-era PS2 game used Dreamcast movie files, this works just the same. I had to go on some risky websites to find it as it's a tool from the early 2000s, so I am archiving it here now that I know the files are clean and they work as intended. Thank you Pro Evolution Soccer community for making this tool available to use.

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.
