If you had read some of the posts above, maybe you would have seen that the software isn't really free. Pretty much everyone will be disappointed cause that.haddad said:+1 for sticky

It's not just capable. It was designed to avoid the hassle of re-encoding media (or at least that was the plan).RupeeClock said:Yes, the media player is capable of playing unconverted video, but the purpose of this guide to optimise that experience.Pendor said:Very nice guide and all, I guess.
But in doing so it defeats the purpose of the flashcart's media player.
This way you can enjoy more video on one memory card, it should look better too.
I should definitely try and figure it out, it probably can out-put something just like the DivX converter, but it's just not so user friendly.Pendor said:It's not just capable. It was designed to avoid the hassle of re-encoding media (or at least that was the plan).
You're not exactly optimizing anything. If anything, you're degrading the feature you pretend to enhance.
At least to anyone with half a brain.
You're still not getting it.
That 640x480 resolution video isn't going to look as good when played on DStwo player, it'll be downscaled to 256x192 by an uneven ratio, which'll make it look blocky and unsmooth.
On top of that, the filesize would be a lot bigger too.
Think of it this way, I could watch my DVD rip of Pixar's UP, it'd be 900mb, and look slightly blocky since it's a 720x480 video.
Or I could watch the optimised video I made, 360mb and 256x176 resolution, which would look pretty much flawless, and not not suffer any potential slowdown.
Think of it another way, this is like ROM trimming, you're removing excess detail from the videos that wouldn't fit on the screen, so you can save file-space.

In the video section on he right, you can click the little O button for other options, in there you can adjust the audio level.

The DSTwo also lacks a way of making the video look smoother when downscaled, so downscaling it before-hand during a conversion will definitely make the video look much nicer, as well as the advantage of saving memory space.spinal_cord said:zizer said:I would like to convert it was not necessary
the dstwo will play quite a lot of videos without converting them, but at its fastest, the dstwo is only 396mhz and has no specific hardware for decoding movies. It is far better to convert movies to a smaller format so that less power is used to decode them (the battery may last longer this way) and there is less frame skip or errors during playback.
