you could encode your videos to moflex and play them with the moflex player app, but both the converter and the player app are developer tools.

i use a converter to play them in the Camera app!

if you search the internet there is a site with the player and movies already converted. Some are rather large. Between 1 and 2 gigs. its on that iso site....

If you have a New 3DS, the best way is to host the video on a website and stream it using the web browser.

On old 3ds:
If the video is on YouTube, use that app. You can also view some external videos with that method but it's a bit weird.


If you want to use the 3DS Camera app, you'll be wanting 3DS Video Convertor, however be aware it has limitations (Splits into files of 10 minutes each, and AVI has large file size.)

I tried streaming via web browser, and the ram really isn't up to it, the Wii U in comparison is GREAT at streaming from websites, runs better than the built in Youtube app!
