Box, inside and outside, to MovieCD edition of,UsageReleased15 November 1996MovieCD is a format for storage and consumer playback released in 1996 by Sirius Publishing, and was rendered obsolete by the wider distribution of. It used a video called MotionPixels, marketed by MotionPixels, Inc., a subsidiary of Sirius Publishing (founded by Darrel Smith and Richard Gnant).

It was used in many third-party video games from the mid to late-1990s, and during the same time on Sirius's MovieCDs that it had been originally developed for, enjoying an international distribution in both forms.Both MovieCDs and the MotionPixels codec remain an issue today in that medium market availability of MovieCDs remained until around the year 2000 and some of the above-mentioned video games still have a cult following, both producing malfunctions in modern PCs due to the outdated MotionPixels codec.

Unaltered still taken from MovieCD edition of.The MP codec offered a resolution of 320x236 pixels, 16-bit, and 16 fullscreen playback at a datarate of (in theory) up to about 520kB/sec, without having to install or acquire additional hardware, on Microsoft Windows systems from on. Audio was saved in plain format. Its code was, depending on version, 'MVI1' or 'MVI2.' For viewing MovieCDs, Sirius recommended a or higher, at least 8 MB of RAM, and a 2x-speed (most MovieCDs had a data rate of about 280-300 kB/sec).

MovieCDs had a running time of about 45 minutes each, so feature films often were stored on two or three discs in one box, and the consumer had to swap discs to watch the whole movie.The codec avoided digital compression artifacts such as the pixelization or block artifacts (seen in using ) by treating areas of the frame as objects rather than dividing it into blocks. Its output was always RGB; however, the viewer could choose between different settings of for encoding, from RGB through 4:2:2 all the way to 16:1:1 which ensured for low datarates at what were high resolutions at the time, while a particularly low chroma subsampling made for a distinctively analogue video look to today's eyeswith spatially (not temporally) smeared colors and sharp.MVI1 MVI1 was a purely DOS-based codec, carrying its animations in an.MVI. Apparently, the only occasion it was ever used was with Sirius's game.MVI2 MVI2 was the Windows incarnation of the MotionPixels codec, and always came with its own player, the MotionPixels Movie Player. MVI2 files used the container still popular today. It saw international distribution during the mid- to late-1990s in the form of Sirius's MovieCDs and many third-party video games (such as the series by ). MVI2 came in three versions:. aware31.exe: Aware31 was developed for.

aware95.exe: Aware95 was developed for. awarent.exe: AwareNT was developed for and released in 1998.Economic viability Given the dominance of the and formats, MovieCD never gained a significant following.Compatibility and issues with modern PCs Compatibility All MovieCDs had the MVI2 codec on them ready to install, and most video games with them installed both codec and player without asking the user. Both are still an issue today due to the wide availability of MovieCDs until around 2000 and the cult following some of these games still have. Both versions of the MP codec installing executable for Windows remain available on the web from third-party downloading sites for free manually as well as within codec packs.The codec's Windows 3.x and 95 version still runs more or less on Windows 98; however the videos often crash as this version of the codec was still a pre- artifact, even though they can even be played with any other video players on Windows 95 and Windows 98 once the MP codec is installed.On Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, MP's NT version awarent.exe is needed.

MP videos run stable on these Windows versions, and the codec can even be used to encode own videos into MotionPixels files, however serious other issues arise no matter which version of MVI2 is installed.Issues As soon as any version of the MotionPixels codec Windows version MVI2 is installed on any post-Win98 Windows OS, any video and audio-editing software on the same system may crash as soon as a codec-choosing dialogue for saving a file is opened. Additionally, players might be unable to read a variety of other audio and video codecsand a variety of other both software and hardware-related video problems might occur, such as TV-cards ceasing to function.

Running MotionPixels's uninstall routine that only removes the MotionPixels Player, not the codec itselfand not even Windows Control Panel can be used to de-install the MP codec , so the only way to get rid of it and reclaim a working system is to manually delete any single file containing the letters MVI in the and the WINDOWSSYSTEM32 directory.
