I'm having some problems with BatchDPG on my M3 Real.

I've converted some videos (avi and mpg), about 22 mins long, and it seemed to work fine. I can watch them on my DS using moonshell, but the problem is that the video will play for about 3 seconds, then freeze (but the audio keeps going) and maybe 1.5 seconds later, the video skips ahead to where the audio track is and plays for another 3 seconds before doing the same thing. So I have hicups every few seconds during the entire video.

I converted it using (mostly) the recommended settings from the stickied guide. The only changes I made (or, more precisely, forgot to change) are that I did 2 passes instead of 3, had resizer set to bicubic, and didn't check "Normalize" for audio - could one of these 3 things be causing the skipping? Or is it a sign of using a SD card that's too slow? I'm using a Taiwan Kingston 1gb, so maybe that's the problem?

Also, I'm using the version of moonshell that came already on the m3 card, which I hear I should upgrade to the downloaded version. But could any of these factors be causing the problem I described? Cause if it's something else (ie: my card), and updating/re-converting won't fix it, I'd rather know before I waste my time fooling around with it.

Thanks!

So instead of converting on ultra, with 3 passes, high bitrate, etc, I should convert it to a lower quality? I don't mind losing some quality if the video will actually play properly, so I'll try that.

I use EzBuilder works great and is allot faster than the other DPG converters you can edit all the settings like bitrate size of screen frame rate these are located in \tool\ini\dpg.ini.

Also it does batch video conversion just put all the files you want to convert in the folder.

I know why this happens!

Open global.ini, and find Gopskip, ADC (adaptive display control?) and dithering. Change all of the options to 0, save the file. No more skipping.

    @Sicklyboy, how bad is it to buy a refurbished ups
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, not bad at all, just make sure it comes with new batteries or else you'll have to put new ones in it yourself (not hard)

    Waiting for the NUC 14 essential to become available here 🤔
  • Issac @ Issac:
    What's the best NUC to get as a first NUC, as a NUC noob. I want one that I can have always on - run a monitoring server and some home automation stuff - as well as possibly doing some devving by connecting to it through SSH
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    You honestly don't really need anything that powerful for that imo an old 2010 laptop could do it
  • Minox @ Minox:
    @Issac I'd argue the NUC 14 essential is a good compromise for speed, price and low power usage
  • Issac @ Issac:
    mhmm, mhmm... Most important for me, in that case, would be silent, power efficient, and form factor.
  • Minox @ Minox:
    That's at least why I want to get it
  • Issac @ Issac:
    Oh nice @Minox
  • Minox @ Minox:
    2000~3500 sek depending on what model you want
  • Minox @ Minox:
    Only needs RAM + SSD on top of that
