SFD is a format commonly found on Sega Dreamcast console games, and is also available for a number of other video game consoles. The files package MPEG video with a custom ADPCM audio codec called CRI ADX ADPCM in a standard MPEG-PS container.

Currently many MPEG decoders (ex. FFmpeg) fail to process recent SFD files properly, generating highly blocky/garbled output.
