Any apps to watch Sega CD movie files?

title says it all. id really like to be able to rip out Sega CD video files and watch them seperately like you can with a lot of Saturn games (with the cinepak viewer). is there anything out there.

Nope nothing. Most SCD games used their own custom formats so making a player that would work with more than one or two games would take alot of time.

That's right. There are also essentially 2 different kinds of FMV on the SegaCD: one where the video is made of rapidly decompressed pictures, like a normal codec, and another where everything is really just made up of dynamically loaded huge sprites and background planes. Sonic CD is a good example of the former, and Popful Mail of the latter. I think Lunar 2 uses a mix of both.

Some games may share the same codec. I think Cinepak created the one used in most FMV games. AFAIK nobody has done anything to enable a PC to view any of them, though.

Better off finding a way to capture it straight from the emulator. As a plus you can also capture cutscenes that use scrolling planes, like in Popful Mail and Lunar.
