sadly, the software (macintosh) doesn't seem to be preserved anywhere. it had a really simple interface, and came with a driver for playback on the console

@[email protected] i have a copy of the mac software for cinepak, it came with my sega saturn sdk
Hi, could you upload a copy somewhere? I was part of the Sega CD Snatcher Spanish translation team and we could never put subtitles in the FMVs, forcing us to leave the translation in an incomplete state. Maybe someone else from the team could use this.
@drasglaf all these are already backed up on Nemesis' website: http://techdocs.exodusemulator.com/Console/SegaSaturn/Software.html#original-development-tools
If it was already available, the person in charge of hacking was probably already aware of its existence and could not use it, such a shame. Thank you.
@drasglaf I actually believe these were uploaded very recently. Several months back I hit up Nemesis and asked him if he'd like me to fill out a few sections of his site that were missing tools and documents that I had, and he said he'd already had them but just hadn't had time to upload them. I'm fairly certain those saturn tools which include the cinepak tools were uploaded after I contacted him, as those were a few of the things I was offering.
@drasglaf Just to clarify, these tools have been passed back and forth among developers and hackers for years, but you kind of had to be in the know. That's how I got mine, it was a trade for an SGI Indigo with someone who used to work for Ozisoft (Sega Australia).
I took a look and our hacker has been disappeared for more 4 years. There's no hope of finishing it, unfortunately.
