Hacking Who actually watches videos on their m3...

[gokujr1000]

^^^^ and what videos do they watch? and where do they get them (do they download them or encode it themselves) just wanted to know who does and who doesn't

 

[Densetsu]

I do

I like to encode my favorite YouTube vids into DPG. Sometimes I encode full movies from DVDs, but I do it mostly for my younger cousins. I still prefer to watch my movies on DVD/Blu-Ray.

 

[Wabsta]

I did last year, for watching my favorite anime in class.
Now, I have to take my laptop (I'm going to an IT school).
So I'll just watch it on my top.

 

[Hadrian]

I used to watch Amazing Spider-Man Animated Series, Batman Animated Series (the good one) & Justice League animated series plus various films I converted.

And then I got a PDA.

 

[goodboy735]

I convert/encode them my self and watch them on sakura. I think most of the videos have come off of youtube, etc.
It's pretty hard to find what you are looking for pre-converted. that is, if they are even out there......

 

[srmagus]

I do. My DS is essentially an ipod video with games. I use moonshell for movies and songs.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

I use it as a movie player a lot......Even at home, I lay in bed and watch movies (mostly, I encode divX or DVDs and have my own collection of 6-7 DVDs full of encoded movies for M3)..

 

[Dark]

I don't use the movie player animal cause the quaility sucks and I got a psp now so I use that

 

[saxamo]

I used to listen to music on it back in the day when I had a G6. Now I mean if I want to watch something that I download from the internet I'll watch it on my computer. I don't really bring my DS out of the house. much less use it anymore

 

[Joe88]

my psp and zune will pretty much own any ds media player

 

[shaunj66]

Nope. Never. Why would I want to watch shows I like on such a tiny tiny screen?

Even my iPod touch I would never use to watch anything other than a trailer.

If I want to watch something I'll watch it on my TV or monitor...

 

[da_head]

well i don't have a m3, but i used to watch anime alot on my ds, till i got my laptop that is.

 

[Tanas]

I use to but the novelty soon wears off.

 

[shansoft]

watch anime a lot on my Sakura..

almost like every time when I went out LOL... you know those boring time stay in bus or waiting for bus...need something to kill time...

 

[haringtonl]

Cough gbatmw.net sign up, and u get access to lots of movies. Its kind of active, I uploaded some too, like Dark Knight. And if you stay, help the community by uploading videos too...

 

[DukeDizko]

Just coded the Pre-Election-Simpsons-Ep & My Name Is Earl S04E12 on Friday as I had to take a train ride for approx. 50 mins & I hate people, even more in trains, when they smell or talk crap etc. pp. So watching things is a good alternative for standing if you don't wanna sit next to some ugly Mofo eating his pizza in a completely crowded place like that train on a Friday. I use BatchDPG btw, NOT Super, and I am quite satisfied with the results as it's coding really fast!

What converting software gives people the best results with viewing on M3 Sakura?

I use BatchDPG and it works great with sakura.
My settings for it are:

Video:
Framerate: 20 Width: 256 Bitrate: 386 Passes: 1
Profile: Med Height: 192 Max bitrate: 512 Resizer: Spline 16

Audio:
Bitrate: 128 Samplerate: 32768 Mode: Joint stereo

That works pretty well with sakura, and the audio is never out-of-sync.
Although I haven't tried it with videos longer than about half and hour....

 

[Sportsmaniac1322]

The unofficial BatchDPG won't work for me. I haven't tried the official version though. I'm running Vista 64-bit version.

 

[Aphexdash]

I've got Vista Ultimate Sp1 64bit - BatchDPG works flawlessly here.

I love having all 3 Futurama Movies on my DS for only ~700mb hehehe

PS: Sportsmaniac i'm using BatchDPG 1.52 if that helps, with AviSynth 2.5 Final
