Convert any 3D movie to watch on the 3DS!

[Deleted User]

LOL, my 5MB AVI resistance video is around 270MB in 3d. That's seriously the most uncompressed video possible, as the input file was 5MB. xD

I tested the video playback. On my tests I decided to use Xilisoft Video Converter using the Wii Profile. Since the videos I converted were Full Screen I just changed the resolution to 320x240 and splitted the videos into 10 minutes parts. I can confirm it is working on my 3DS.

If you go into advanced setting you can change the resolution to whatever you want. Is the 320X240 showing full screen on your 3DS?

 

[moisesmcardona]

yes, the videos are showing in full screen on my 3DS

EDIT: spinal_cord: could you perhaps add the split command so it only takes the first 10 minutes, and skips the rest if it's over 10 minutes?

I've actually began working on that. This is what I have so far for 2D videos (placed in a batch file, and quality of 13 from the range of 1 as best and 31 as worst).

del VID_*.AVI
del newVideo.avi
ffmpeg -i %1 -s 400x240 -aspect 2:1 -r 20 -vcodec mjpeg -qscale 13 -acodec copy "newVideo.avi"
ffmpeg -i "newVideo.avi" -vcodec copy -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:09:59 "VID_0001.AVI"
ffmpeg -i "newVideo.avi" -vcodec copy -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 -ss 00:09:59 -t 00:09:59 "VID_0002.AVI"
ffmpeg -i "newVideo.avi" -vcodec copy -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 -ss 00:19:58 -t 00:09:59 "VID_0003.AVI"
ffmpeg -i "newVideo.avi" -vcodec copy -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 -ss 00:29:57 -t 00:09:59 "VID_0004.AVI"

All that is required in Windows is to drag the video over the batch file, and it'll process the video, then split them, up to 29m57s of video. If you have a longer video, just mimick how the split is done. For some reason, making 10m videos exactly wasn't working on my 3DS, but 9m59s does. Also, audio encoding isn't done until during the split because ffmpeg kept having a problem splitting the adpcm format.

I'm sure someone else with more experience could improve on this.

For some reason, the audio isn't working for me with this, I get audio for a few seconds on the splitted files and then it disappears. Weird.

It originally had the audio encoded from the beginning, but it didn't like splitting when in adpcm format, so I had that done in the split part. I assume your problem is similar. I came across a wmv file and tried with the current setup, and it didn't like it either. I did try and encode with the settings from the 3d version with using libmp3lame instead of copy, but the end result was rather bad quality audio. I'll keep checking what I can do.

Figured it out, looks it was a problem related with the AAC audio codec from my videos.

What I did was that I encode them first to PCM and then to adpcm (if you leave it as PCM, the output file is double the size compared to adpcm). So it went more or less like this:

del VID_*.AVI
del newVideo.avi
ffmpeg -i %1 -s 400x240 -aspect 2:1 -r 20 -vcodec mjpeg -qscale 13 -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 2 "newVideo.avi"
ffmpeg -i "newVideo.avi" -vcodec copy -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:09:59 "VID_0001.AVI"
ffmpeg -i "newVideo.avi" -vcodec copy -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 -ss 00:09:59 -t 00:09:59 "VID_0002.AVI"
ffmpeg -i "newVideo.avi" -vcodec copy -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 -ss 00:19:58 -t 00:09:59 "VID_0003.AVI"
ffmpeg -i "newVideo.avi" -vcodec copy -acodec adpcm_ima_wav -ac 2 -ss 00:29:57 -t 00:09:59 "VID_0004.AVI"

The process takes about the same, and works fine. The only downside is that the video files are still to big, but managed to convert a 24 min video to 200 MB (about the same as Xvid), using 15 FPS and qscale 15. Doesn't look too bad.

Thanks a lot!

Nintendo created the video player, not homebrew developers.

Heh, I came here to give that same answer, but I see you found out already.

Anyways, after seeing Prof. 9's batch file, I decided to extend on that. It includes splitting a file in up to 10 10m segments, and can easily accommodate more if the user knows what they are doing.

Kind of wondering why you limit it to 10 segments...

It was 6 before (for about an hour's worth of video), but I extended it to 10. No real reason for that, but as I said, it can be extended further if you want (and if know what you're doing). Batch files are a bit limited in this sense in comparison to a front-end like what SifJar made.

EDIT:

Fixing up a few things, and adding additional options to the batch file. Will upload that when I get back.

 

[DiscostewSM]

Ok, I updated Prof. 9's batch file once again. It includes the following options...

Video format: 2D, 3D tb, 3D ss (already provided by Prof. 9)
Video quality: 1 to 31 (already provided by Prof. 9)
Frame Rate: 10 to 24
Audio Freq: 44.1kHz, 32kHz, 22kHz
Audio Channels: Stereo or Mono

With all this, there is also default settings if you don't want to decide. Default settings can be changed for those who know what to do with editing batch files.

It also contains the ability to split the video, up to 18 segments (just under 3 hours). Why 3 hours? Don't ask me.

Put a quality setting in there also, it can range from 1 to 31. 31 will give much better compression (file size) but 1 will look the best. 8 or 10 is OK.

It is in there already, before I even touched the batch file.

Thank you DiscostewSM for this but I do need some help if any one can help I made my video side-by-side I got the video off youtube and I named it VID_0001.AVI and I put it in the same folder as all the other pics but it will not show up on my 3ds can any one help? thank you

 

[thedicemaster]

how long is it?

 

[gamefan5]

It says Use default? How do we proceed then?

 

[BORTZ]

So how close are we to watching a full length feature film on our 3DSs?

DiscostewSM's .bat says we're there already.
it splits the movie to bypass the 10 minute limit.
