Homebrew best dpg converter

[Deleted User]

ImTOO is really good but you have to pay for it.

It's superb.

It's worth it, trust me.

Can anyone explain how to manually encode a DPG4 with mencoder or ffmpeg?

I am not so familiar with the newer types of DPG (there are at least 4 but only DGG0 DPG2 and whatever the newest type is are used) but the general idea is you get the raw video stream (MPG is a crude container like avi), a header, an audio track and an index of the video stream.
The end result is very simple (it is not interleaved or anything)
header -> audio -> video -> index

Your best bet to get the general idea I reckon would be to read the batchDPG source code (the moonshell stuff is OK too but batchDPG reads more easily).

You should also be able to grab the header tools from the package.
Here is my source code (it may not work properly as I was experimenting with a .net free and ogg supporting version but the video part is fairly sound):
http://pastebin.com/f22447f3a (should last forever but anyone feel free to hit me up for a reupload.
My compile (hopefully the same source)
You will probably want the lines 11 -29 and the later stuff.

Thanks. But batchdpg uses an older version of the dpg format, so I wanted to make sure I was using settings for the most up to date version so it's the best quality. Also, my batchdpg encoded videos constantly skip when played in moonshell 2.0 (they don't skip in older moonshell)

I use Xilisoft. Only problem is that the sound gets out of sync when I convert from RMVB to DPG. Even if I go from RMVB to AVI using another program, then to DPG, the sound still gets out of sync.

See my thread for detail

I use a combination of "dpg video editor v1.1" and "batch DPG". With it u can trim, split, add text and view a preview of the video, and u can amplify or delay (both increase and decrease) the sound. And i use all to avi to get rid of audio delay. This combination has never failed me.

I like SUPER because I can fool around and get GOP tables, quality higher than anything I've seen, and it's easy to use (with the exception of the Engrish, which can be fixed with proper knowledge and time...)
By far the best thing I've seen...
EDIT: Great, ad installer? GOD, I had to go through 50+ ads, with different Decline buttons every time...
