Homebrew noob DPGtools question

[Zowayix]

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.

Got FFDShow installed? If not install it.

 

[benjaminlibl]

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.

When you install codecs they usually come packed with ffdshow ..... >.> learn some facts.

 

[benjaminlibl]

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.

Your media player would be?

 

[Zowayix]

I waited over 45 minutes and still nothing happens.

Is something wrong?

 

[BoxShot]

Again have you installed ffdshow? ....

 

[Zowayix]

I don't know...

I'll try installing that again and see what happens.

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

It is VLC by the way.
