Homebrew Can VLC be ported to the 3DS?

What about h.265

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

(Mabye i shouldnt have posted this...)

does h.265 even exist?

edit: oooh, h265 is HEVC neato

 

[Spectral Blizzard]

duh...HEVC is the same thing

There's more video players out there. This was the first result on Google, but I know how hard that is to use.

 

[Spectral Blizzard]

i think h.265 is way more efficient based on how it is used


it is typically used with 4k vids and on 4k blu-rays

Wait...can it do audio
relating to the amnesiac player

the maximum the color-conversion hardware supports is 1024x1024, so there goes your 4k...

 

[Spectral Blizzard]

I know... i was expecting the 3ds to handle 240p

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

if that amnesiac player thingy can do audio, it might be perfect for me.

Bluecone can do soundcloud?!! That's new!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I am focused on file size more than video quality, but i still want the video quality to be decent(enough on the 3ds, considering its limitations)
That's why i am asking about h.265 because it HALVES the file size

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I dont know how much power it will take to decode it though

Regarding H.265: It is claimed that the codec offers better compression than H.264, but, using current available CPUs, the conversion time of H.265 is much longer. I think, the only way a codec like H.265 can be encoded with reasonable efficiency, is with GPU-accelerated video encoding. Which, as far as I currently know, is not available through free encoder options.

 

[Spectral Blizzard]

Actually, try handbrake. It is free and it does h.265.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also, does MarcusD have soundcloud implemented on the 3DS? It was on his bluecone to-do list, but it hasn't been updated in a while.

 

[Spectral Blizzard]

I dont care about encoding time, i just want video with the reasonable video and audio quality and have a decent size. Referring to the amnesiac player before, if it has audio support with MP4s, it might be perfect for me.

 

[TarableCode]

libmpeg2 or Xvid might be good candidates but there's a shortage of developers at the moment.
Just gotta wait until one gets bored enough to think "I wonder if..." and tries something crazy.

 

[LongDongSilver]

h.265 has even put some older computers to shame you can only imagine what it can do to a 3ds

 

[nyder]

H.265 requires more power then the 3DS can give it and really requires it to be supported in the cpu/gpu. So you won't get H.265 on the 3DS ever. Just doesn't have the power.

 

[Deleted User]

The 3DS has a shitty screen resolution. You're better off using your phone/iPad.

 

[Sono]

now that you mention that re-encoding is an option, I can make a video player which supports libTheora and libVorbis, and that way you could decode video and audio at an approximate max 34fps on old3DS

How soon can u release it

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

If I have a movie that's 3 hours, will it take that much space on the 3DS SD card?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Will the video have decent video quality if I use these codecs?

 

[Spectral Blizzard]

I have noticed that all of the Homebrew video players don't have skip bar to go to some point in the movie. Can you implement that, MarcusD? It would be a better homebrew solution for everyone at the moment.

as soon as I write the code for it

it depends on how much moving stuff is on the screen, the less movement the smaller filesize. but please keep your original movie files if you need then somewhere else other than your 3DS because this will encode the video *specifically* for the 3DS, so it'll lose quality

on the 3DS it'll be as quality as possible, but if you play the video file anywhere else then it'll be shit quality

I could try, but even if I succeed then skipping will take a long time due to how underpowered the 3DS is

 

[Alkéryn]

Why would anyone whant to watch vid on such a low quality screen anyway xD
