    I had been using SUPER to convert my movie files into dpg, but I found that the audio/video always desynched.

    Then I looked around on this forum and found that DPGtools (DPGenc) converted better.

    So I downloaded it, and when I drag a movie file (mp4 format) into the window, it says "DirectShow [something]" in the space to the left of the video, then freezes there.

    I couldn't find any "Convert" button so I assume that it starts converting automatically, but then why is it freezing and not doing anything when I drag the video there? Am I missing something?

    How long did you wait? You're not doing anything wrong, that's usually enough.

    I didn't install that and it worked fine for me. Probably because I installed a media player and it come with its own codecs, or something.

    From what I read, the media player I use doesn't use FFDShow, so don't come at me with that.

    And I didn't install a specific codec pack at all.

    I don't see what you're getting all riled up for.

    It is VLC by the way.
