ROM Hack 3DS Video Converter

[NekuSoul]

Is there any way to convert the videos and not have them split into parts if the video is over 10 minutes long?

Nope, the 3DS doesn't allow longer videos.

Look at what I've found: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#ass

Newsflash:
After many failed tries I've managed to hardcode subtitles, yay. Little Screenshot? Here:

(Note that the text on the Phone is just a Typeset)
For now I needed to extract the subtitles and fonts manually but I will try to automate this as best as I can. Sadly the subs restart at every part. On another side I found an audio filter that allows you to optimize audio quality for headphones.

And now a list what I need to do for the next version, although I plan to realease these features one after another:

• Automate extracting subtitles and fonts if they exist
• Resolve a bug with A/V-Sync. Seems like I will need to compile FFMPEG with custom flags to make it work.
• Change the GUI to include the new features
• Restructure Video conversion to convert video first and then split it up. Maybe can fix point 2 as well.

So excited for that screenie! But you might not need to completely restructure video conversion! If videos have no subtitles to work with, it's FAR SIMPLER to keep conversion the way it is. This will be like a mode-switch or something. If you activate subtitles, then we'll need to add an extra step of rendering the entire video first before splitting it up (think of file splitters, except maybe slapping file headers on each segments to make them into separate working video clips. or something like that. not sure really, lol).

Im doing this not only for the subtitles. This will high likely fix a second error with Audio/Video-Synchronization. And it doesn't take up too much time since I can simply copy the stream when splitting the video. Finally I don't want to have 4 different Conversion Types, working with that Code would be very annoying.

I good feature would be to be able to download the video from youtube. For now, I have no way to download them. Nothing seems to work.

Just use JDownloader or FreeStudio, both of them do the job. I don't want to add too many features, just those features that are needed to convert most videos without problems.

Thank you, what's the best format to download to then use in Nekusoul video converter ??

That is a good question. Idn really know, but I'll say the format that list portable devices, MP4.

I recommend viewing this

on you 3ds.

Yes this is the resolution closest to the one from the 3ds.

What do I need ?? Left/right, top/bottom ?? Anaglyph (god no) ?? Does the program handles that by itself ??

Left/Right does it. Every Youtube 3D-Video is saved in that format.

That isn't true. There are save in top/bottom too. Just like the video I posted.

 

[Pippin666]

I haven't had any luck so far. I downloaded few left/right movie 3d trailer and tried converting it to simply see them side-by-side on my 3DS.

Good to know. I thought Left/Right is pretty much standart these days.

Make sure that Side-By-Side is really activated for the Video. The best you can do is changing Video-Type to 3D before adding any Videos.

I got a quick question. If i encoded a 3D video with 5.1 audio output, does it get downmixed during conversion, or does it get gimped in the process by pretty much ignoring some of the audio channels?

How does the app handle stuff like that anyway? Will I have to downmix the movie first to get a proper stereo audio?

EDIT: Another thing. You have no "sample" settings? Only full conversions? I... guess I was kinda spoiled by that feature on another converter. I use it to test convert movies (it's default is 120 secs, but I usually do 180 secs samples) to see if it works, clean, choppy, or whatever, before I do a full conversion. This helps a lot so I don't convert a movie only for it to turn out wrong (inaudible, too pixelated, too much bitrate, wrong 3D, etc).

And how do you use the subtitle? Is it supposed to be a dropdown, or do you specify which subtitle stream (1, 2, 3, etc) or the language code (eng, ita, etc)?

I make use of an Audio-Filter that should mix it down to 2 channels.

Maybe I will include that, but after I changed the conversion method.

The subtitles-menu you see in 2.4.2 is VERY experimental so far because I wanted to push out the features and fixes I have done so far because I'm away during the next week. (I will have my Laptop to continue the work but wont be online). I didn't wanted to make subtitles available in this version, but I was too lazy removing the existing code. When subtitles are fully implemented you will have a dropdown with the name of the subtitle track and have also a choice between audio tracks.

Hmm, what if we download a 3D Movie and convert it, could we watch the movie in 3D in the 3DS?

Seriously? There are at least three topics regarding different converters for watching 3d video on your 3ds and you need to ask?
Yes, that is the entire point of the converter(s).
