found a really cool document: the official developer/user documentation for the codec used to compress most of the Sega CD FMV games: Cinepak for Sega-CD
sadly, the software (macintosh) doesn’t seem to be preserved anywhere. it had a really simple interface, and came with a driver for playback on the console

@vga256 Newer versions of those tools are in the Saturn SDK; I’ve used it before. That version has you use the standard WT Cinepak encoder. I can check if it still supports Sega CD.
@misty@digipres.club oh fantastic. i’m just reading about MovieToSaturn now. i can’t figure out if the saturn tools support the paletted export that the Sega CD version requires/uses
