Could I use this to.. per example convert something like Avatar 3D?

Your tool has a little bug. When I select the output folder example c:\3ds it creates a file in this manner c:\3dsvid_0001.avi in the root and not in the output folder. Title and Number input are ignored also.

Your auto-splitting is a good idea.
It use auto-incrementation on the file name's number?

Unrealated to your program:
What determine the date of the file?
I placed three 3D video downloaded today on my SD card, and two of them are placed into 01/01/1900 slot, even if the file's date is today on my computer
Maybe there's an internal date in the video file?

 

[Burton]

Maybe there's an internal date in the video file?

Looks as it is the case and no matter what .avi editor application you use the 3ds still displays a century old digital video LOL.

Out of curiosity, is it any different to the auto-splitting in my app?

 

[NekuSoul]

OK, will reply to those questions...

@Quincy: If the 3D-Video is like 3D-Youtube-Videos in

@burton: Yes, i recently discovered this bug by myself. Update should be out tomorrow (means "tomorrow" in German Time +1)

@Cyan: Thanks. Yes, the file name will automatically count up. Currently only the last digit will count up, because i prefer to reserve the first three to the Episode number.
The date is determined by the "Created at"-Tag in the metadata of the file. (Not the normal "Created at" in the Properties. Because there is no such Tag in the converted Videos it is set to the standard time 01/01/1900. Just look on your Windows-Calendar and go back to the first Page. You will end up on 01/01/1900.

@sifjar: Was there Auto-Splitting in your tool? ... Downloads newest Version ... Looks at source ... Answers:
Yes, theres a minor difference. As we both use ffmpegs built-in splitting feature, you split it after the conversion and I split the Videos during the conversion.

 

[SifJar]

Could I use this to.. per example convert something like Avatar 3D?

If it's side-by-side, yes. (I believe there are tools out there capable of ripping 3D DVDs/Blu-Rays to this format. Don't know what they are though.)

 

[NekuSoul]

OK, updated already, wasn't a big mess, Filetrip link updated.

@SifJar and all other interested people:
That are the arguments that i pass to ffmpeg to convert a 2D-Video:

"-ss " + (i * 590) + " -t 590 -async 10 -y -threads " + Environment.ProcessorCount
+ " -i \"" + CI.FilePath + "\" -s 400x240 -r 20 -vcodec mjpeg -qscale " + trackBar1.Value +
" -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 \"" + _txt_out.Text + CI.Title + "_" + CI.Number + (i + 1) + ".AVI\""

 

[SifJar]

Yeah, seems fairly similar to mine (bit more advanced with threads and stuff, but the actual splitting isn't any different). Just curious due to Cyan's comments.

As an FYI, you may want to start the first part at 1 second in instead of 0. It seems that for some videos starting at 0 makes the first part not work on the 3DS.

My personal theory is that if the first frame of the resulting video is blank, it won't work, but this is unconfirmed atm. Of course this means that you'll lose the first second. It also means that some videos which have 2 or 3 seconds blank at the start still won't work. So I have an alternative method, involving inserting a one second non-blank clip at the start of the first clip, but it is not tested yet. The method is here if you wish to test: http://gbatemp.net/topic/315365-3ds-video-beta/page__view__findpost__p__4013616

Lots of thanks, thats why for some Videos Part 1 seems to disappear. Will do a Bugfix NOW!

Edit: OK, updated, should be fine now, haven't testet it yet, will do tomorrow,... MUST... SLEEP... NOW!

 

[Neytz]

There was no 3D conversion with any of my SBS vids.

 

[Cyan]

Just curious due to Cyan's comments.

Yeah, it's my fault.
I didn't read your change log correctly. I thought he was the first one to add this feature.

 

[NekuSoul]

There was no 3D conversion with any of my SBS vids.

OK, some Questions:
1. Have you checked the "3D-Video" Checkbox at the right?
2. Was the Video really Side-by-Side?
3. What do you mean with "no 3D Conversion"? Did you get an 2D output file, nothing or something else?

If you're sure you have done all right, maybe you can PM me a link of the File so I can see if there were some Errors?

EDIT:
OK finally found a 2D-video that can't run on the 3DS avter conversion. I post the "Media Info"-Details here:

Can anyone here see what's causing the Error? And some more "Media Info"-Details about bad AVI's would be nice

 

[Nintynuts]

I've tried converting some and the 3D hasn't been processed. does it work for both SBS and Top/Bottom, because i have a mixture. Also, some SBS are full with and some are half width, so i don't know if that makes a difference.

 

[rizzod]

i got all excited for a second thinking this would convert video into actual 3D for the 3DS. oh well.

EDIT: SCRATCH THAT! HOLY CRAP! ITS AWESOME! JUST CONVERTED UNCHARTED 3 3D TRAILER! OMGWTFBBQAWESOMESTEAKSAUCE!!
THIS IS A GODSEND! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

 

[Burton]

i got all excited for a second thinking this would convert video into actual 3D for the 3DS. oh well.

Since the beginning it clearly states it WONT

 

[rizzod]

hm, worked once. now it wont work anymore..

 

[Neytz]

I got a 2D output file, like Nintynuts said.

 

[NekuSoul]

@rizzod:
Does the problem exists with the same Video or with another?

@Nintynuts and Neytz:
What does 2D mean? Are you getting Side-By-Side Videos on the 3DS or only one Side?

@All who want to help me:
As I said in my last post I need more Informations, either from "MediaInfo" or by sending me a link to the File via PM, since I can reproduce only some of the bugs with 2D-Videos.
The only 3D-Videos I have are from Youtube and they worked all without problems.
Would be nice if anyone can help me out with some further modding of the ffmpeg-arguments. Current Arguments are no others than the one in my earlier posts. Only one second Time-Shift has been applied.
