A clever solution, but adds nasty load time and creates problems with music sync." If you compress something, save it as compressed and then uncompress it (ie convert it to the original specs of resolution and potential quality) it will stay the same as if you'd just read it compressed. When you compress video/audio you lose information, unless you've got some sort of witch powered magic uncompressor that information is unattainable. “If memory serves, I read several years back that the people who got Skies of Arcadia to fit on CD’s actually compressed the entire game and built an on-the-fly decompression engine.

I got about 50 Dreamcast games I would like to backup to original GDrom only. Most are import japan games. I donot have the broadband adapter, and do not wish to spend 300 on one to rip games. Any links to coders cables that will work would be appreciated. Also is there a huge speed difference between coders cable and broadband backup? I was reading this http://www.racketboy.com/retro/sega/dreamcast/2007/05/the-pristine-dreamcast-backup-preservation-initiative.html and believe these rips need to go up to preserve them.
