A collection of GUI frontends for creating, extracting & playing Sofdec (SFD) video files, designed for Windows.
These programs are made with the intent to make doing various tasks with Sofdec (SFD) files as simple as possible, and also act as replacements for older SFD programs, such as SEGA Dreamcast Movie Creator.
Instructions and explanations for options in the programs can be found in the included documentation, or in the Downloads + Documentation section below.
Support for .usm files and/or AIX audio used in some SFDs is not currently supported in these programs. SFDs from SEGA Saturn games are also unsupported at this time.
The latest version of the programs can be downloaded here.
Documentation for the programs can be found here.
- SFDCreator - Allows you to create your own SFD files for use in various games.
- SFDExtractor - Extracts the contents of SFD files, and converts them to modern formats by default.
- SFDPlayer - Plays SFD files (by re-encoding the audio to MP3)
- SFDVersionDetector - Detects the version/muxer used for SFD file(s).

Q: How much space do the programs take up once extracted?
A: They are about 50MB if you already have FFmpeg installed on your system. Otherwise, it's closer to 500MB with FFmpeg.
Q: A prompt comes up saying "Windows protected your PC". What is this, and what do I do to bypass it?
A: This happens with programs not recognized by the Windows software database. To bypass it, click on "More info", then on "Run Anyway". The programs should boot after.
