		This was released with the Alien Odyssey source code batch but is unrelated to Alien Odyssey, I have no idea who made it or for what games it was intended for so any info is welcome. Download: Mad Video Codec Source...

		Arise necro thread. I wrote the MAD video coded with David Williams, this was while we were working at Argonaut. The Sega Saturn port was done by me around the same time I was working on the Alien Odyssey porting effort. I don't remember much from all those years ago, but I do recall after the game port was canned I moved on to SGI Firewalker and BRender integration work.

		MartinPiper said: good job on this codec, it's hard to recompile the stuff from this game, would you have keep the brender sources/library for saturn ? the other versions of brender are available on archive.org but not the one we are looking for. My guess is it was also used for Croc which was really great even on saturn.
