Didn't VCDs do the same thing? IIRC the Sega Saturn could play them.

- doubled112 2mo agoI recall that full length movies on VCD were usually two discs to get decent quality. Not needing to get up and switch discs because you could use divx or xvid instead was a real life improvement.

There was the part where you had to double click the media player to make it full screen again however pretty wholesome for its time. Nowadays, it's just not the same and Ai isn't nostalgic at all.
