Hey, so anyways i was trying to run the converted dreamcast video disc on my actual dreamcast and via emulation, but when i try to run it. it gives me a black screen idk how to fix this, so can you help me please.

[alex-free]

Can you send over the entire output of the program, describe the original video file, maybe upload the converted file for me to look at?

[NeoGeoFreak2004]

okay here is the converted .cdi file and the video file i converted via the program. Vampire Hunter Intro.zip

Also, do other files work for you besides this one?

Maybe it's windows 11 then because I only tested this on Windows 7 before.

Can you send me the full output for the MP4?

Oh it has nothing to do with the file. What bitrate are you using? Can you take a screenshot or copy the output before it starts converting (the very top of the window)

[NeoGeoFreak2004]

the video bitrate is 3600 kb/s and the audio bitrate is 396 kb/s. and i am using the higher setting. here is the settings i used.

Lmao type 3200 instead of the actual word higher it will work with all the files.
