Homebrew playing video on ds?

[sphere9]

inb4 read the moonshell guide, it hasn't been updated in a year so i wanted to know what the best -current- method is.

This ain't 4chan. Read the moonshell guide, its still the best method available.

Try this Moonshell guide. I've always found it to be a very excellent resource.

Keep in mind that Moonshell itself hasn't been updated in a year, so a year-old guide IS the most current info available.

I like Sakura fw + dpg.

Well if you really don't like to use MoonShell keep in mind that their are always alternatives such as DSVideo and Tuna-Vids. Both of which are extremely nicely made, however MoonShell still stands as the best media player for the DS.

Tuna-Vids

If your flash cart has built-in DPG playback capabilities then it's better to use that rather than use moonshell because moonshell doesn't give you the same quality from my experience

I am pretty sure those max out at like 12 fps which is nowhere near as good as dpg

Yeah i went through this same dilemma about a week or so ago.

DSM: files to big 142megs=1.4gigs didnt even test(only have a 1gig card)
DSV: quality is kinda an issue here and also vids can only converted from avi without problems
tuna-vids: where as you can manually put it in sync sometimes it get so out of sync the you have to restart the vids all over
DPG: only problem ive come to find is that the search tool stinks

i went with DPG and i use SUPER to convert my vids. Now i only have and ninjapass to test this so if the results are different on a different card i would not know.

Tuna-viDS can achieve higher framerates if the video size isn't the full 256x192 resolution. I've used 15 fps with no problems for a widescreen movie I converted, and that was with a rather high bitrate selected.

I use the full Sakura firmware (I have an M3), but it is definitely the best looking - I would use the DLDI version of Sakura instead of moonshell.

I use Super to convert the videos; if I am converting a DVD then Dvd decrypter to get a single VOB file and then Super to convert that to DPG (which is the best format)

 

[sphere9]

is there any better way of converting videos other than batchdpg?

 

[13375p34k3r]

Yes, though BatchDPG is a good program for converting DPG files. Most people tend to use SUPER just because of its ease of use. Plus it can convert a lot of video formats to DPG so its a lot more convenient.

 

[sudosniper]

i just decided to use sakura hack but when i play my dpgs on it they dont work whereas on moonshell they work fine

 

[sphere9]

where can i get SUPER from?

 

[sudosniper]

Am i allowed to post the link ordo i just pm you?

 

[sphere9]

that website is horrible! where's the download link?

 

[sudosniper]

very bottom of the page is you cant find it press control f and copy this into the field "Start Downloading SUPER" without quotes.
