[Request improvement] DVD Movies Compatibility

It would be nice to brings DVD Movies on pcsx2 , actually , playing a DVD Movie on pcsx2 cause a black screen (but no crash)

Why would you watch movies through pcsx2, when you're on a computer, likely with a CD drive, and the ability to download any other software (VLC)

The feature would have been nice if pcs didn't have the ability to watch movies xD

Anyway it's not even worth putting a git issue on this.

I assume its a litle useless but it should be fun to play DVD Movies like the ps2 :)

It's not out of the question since even Dolphin implemented unused IOS feature, but the thing is they have the manpower to do anything they want lol no matter how pointless it is
If someone was determined enough it could probably be done. I guess it has something to do with sceMpeg?

[mirh]

PS2 could do it, so it's absolutely within scope of the project.
Then, depending on where CSS keys were stored on original hardware I guess things might be easier or harder.

Also depends on #432

Would implementing this improve performance on FMV playback?

[MrCK1]

FMV playback is handled by the IPU. What performance is there to gain lol?

It could be interesting for framerates and output resolutions. Also it might help regarsing general disk management (i.e. might help resolving disk read and swap issues). Also who knows. Maybe some non-bootable games use a bios routine that is typically only used by dvd's. In general improving the accuracy of the emulator helps improving the accuracy of the emulator. Emulation of the psx on the emulated ps2 might also solve some unresolved issues.

I'll close this since it's really low priority. I don't think anyone will be looking in to this for a long time.
