What format has the better quality?
They both have roughly the same file size though i think 3gp may be smaller.

Not sure which has higher quality, but I'd just stick with DGP since it's the same resolution size to the DS screen. 3GP is for cell phones and I've watched a few 3GP vids on my cell phone and I can say that DGP looks better.

3GP is better quality (as far as I know), it's just compressed unlike DPG which is as raw as it gets so that the DS has little trouble reading the file.

If you think a bit technically, neither of them is better quality, as they both are container formats and no compression technology.

3GP uses the same specifications as MP4, which can contain stream data of any MPEG-4 compatible Video Codec (H.263, H.263+, XviD, DivX, H.264, MS MPEG 4 and other). The ability to play them on your device depends on the supported Codecs on it.

The same can be applied to DPG (abbreviation of nDsmPeG, "NDS MPEG"), which supports in DPG0 and DPG1 only MPEG1 compressed video and monoaural audio (stereo since DPG1), encoded with MP3. As of DPG3 you can also use XviD as Codec (requires MoonShell 2.00 or higher, supporting full screen with max. 25 FPS and wide-screen with max. 15 FPS). The DPG Container Format itself is a modified MPEG/AVI Container Format.

The quality question cannot be answered, as the quality itself depends on the source material and the re-encoding/compression process.

    Anytime you come across a suspicious file, a detected threat, suspect a file detection may be a possible false positive or you want a second opinion, submit it to one of the online services that analyzes suspicious files for possible malware.

    I installed a Windows XP ISO onto a VM and used a fake product key, as does everybody else, so my best bet is that it's either a false positive or Windows XP having terrible security.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The product key generator could be tied to mailware like mentioned in the links
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    No, just found product keys in a list on archive.org
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    whatevs, Security removed it from my device
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    There you go
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Cloud scanners often interpret machine learning to understand the inner workings of a program and checks to see if functionality compares to how malware operates. Hence why it's not always accurate and you get false positives such as W32.Wacatac.

  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    It's interesting that the ISO came with the browser though, is it also pre-loaded with other stuff?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?

    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the Blue exploit.
