any ideas on how to emulate this look (intentionally badly looking for video)?

so, I do a very short sequence right now, and I thought it would be quite interesting to have this short sequence have the same characteristics of the video quality from the beginning of the 1990s old Sega CD based games FMV (for example, I downloaded a clip here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ro17qv ). and there is a little more than a technological explanation here ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FMV_game#Description ) in the 3rd paragraph. reading by ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_cd#Reception ) it seems that the video quality are perhaps better, natively on the disc, but the system itself could not interpret that makes the quality of the video. (I was always a few assuned artifacts of compression to cram a full movement on a 500 MB cd-rom Disc... owner but game that still may have something to do with her 90-minute) or maybe they have just the video encoded like that, knowing that the console could not do anyway, and being more aware of budgeting in the ILO.

so anyway is really imitate this look? I tried encodeing a simple mpeg 1 Mbit/s, but he just made more pixelated... didn't quite give it the factor, dithering charecterisic grain (what I was looking to see if there was only a single color dithering filter where I could limit the sega cd color threshold, but not luck on my part) , nore the colors washed out I was looking for. I tried to add a little noise... but then that was just random. where, as in the games, the grain was more stagnate. (that is to say, the camera can pan, but you could still see the grain at the same exact spot on the screen)

or is it just something that was inherent to the hardware store and no real way to imitate him completely without such material?

I would have experimented posterize time to get the look of the bass-cadence; seems that more games, CD-ROM and video had frame rates of about 10 to 12 frames per second. Posterize time will allow you to do this quite easily.

Instead of noise, try mosaic with a County block sent relatively high. Posterize to create the color banding. You may need to experiment with the order of effects and also the level to which they are applied. Effect of correction of color as the last step would be necessary to get the desaturation that you are probably looking for.

Another way of packing would export your sequence using Microsoft AVI format with Microsoft video 1 or Microsoft RLE as your codec. For MS video 1, click the Codec settings and turn down the "time value" a bit and for the two codecs, decrease the quality slider. Set your pace of export for something that is 1/2 to 1/3 of your rate of original sequence. This should create a nice file schmeggy watching again, mix and match to get your desired, look but this is perhaps the best way to do it - these videos would have used codecs like this (Cinepak was popular, too).
