I gave up on
DSvideo.
Likes
- Clean interface
- Quick seeking times when fast forwarding rewinding (important for Junior he likes to watch bits of movies)
- Encoded videos appear to fill the screen and do not looked streteched but appear to be properly cropped.
Dislikes
- Large file size for encoded Videos
-
Very inconsistent results when encoding movies Often results are blurry and framey then another film will be fine.

I have now gone to
Moonshell using
Xilsoft DPG converter for encoding.
Likes
- Better quality videos
- Plays music as well as video.
- Smaller file size than DSvideo.
Dislikes
- Search / seek times slow on large videos.
- Tendency to lock up when trying to drag the progress bar on large videos. (Something my lad does frequently)
- Slightly more complicated interface and setup.
- Encoded videos have a tendency to stay in wide screen or cinescope which is not good on the tiny DS screen

I haven’t tried
Spinal's Video Player yet but I might give it a whirl. Hopefully it will give me back the ease of use with better results than DSvideo.
