60FPS frames are stored uncompressed, interlaced, and in 8BPP (256 on-screen colors), the latter two to keep frame sizes as small as possible.
The longest 60FPS video you can have (while staying within the GBA ROM size limit of 32MB) is up to 25-30 seconds (depending on the video's aspect ratio).

Try setting "BMP_MODE" to 0, then run Vid2RVID again. You should get a .rvid file at a reduced size (at the cost of color amount due to switching to 8BPP).

it still does the pausing thing - could it be an issue with the card?

Is the ".rvid" size reduced?

Possibly. Try reformatting the microSD card here: https://dsi.cfw.guide/sd-card-setup.html
If the issue persists, try a different video player here: https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/ds-index/videoplayers

So no bankswitching or streaming from CF (gbamp / m3cf say hi)

So no watching movie unless I split into parts (which gbamp software also required. Fat32 is a snitch)

Unfortunately, no (to both).

For movies, you could probably go down to 15FPS (or less) in order to reduce the amount of parts you may need. (Frames will be LZ77-compressed.)
Each part would be around 1 minute and 30 seconds.

I just found out about this thing and I can say it looks very cool!
i can't really say that It's very cool because i cannot get pass the ImageMagik part yet
If I had to blame someone, I'm blaming the 2GB RAM and the insanely bad specs this laptop has
