This tutorial will show you how to convert movies to play on your ds flashcart

Things to download:
AviSynth
BatchDPG

Install AviSynth and Unzip BatchDPG. Run the main exe included in BatchDPG.




Browse for the video file you wish to convert. If you want to have a different audio source or want to include subs then you can browse for them. Now that you've selected the video/audio you want to encode, press Add.




Next press Settings. This should pop up a box which will allow you to adjust a few things such as FPS, Resolution and Bitrate. Depending on your movie, it's recommended to use the following settings:




Full Screen
FPS: 20Video
bitrate: 386
Max bitrate: 512
Passes: 3
Profile: Ultra
Resizer - Spline16
Width: 256
Height: 192
Audio bitrate: 128
Samplerate: 32768
Mode: Joint Stereo
Normalize: On

Widescreen
FPS: 22
Video bitrate: 386
Max bitrate: 512
Passes: 3
Profile: Ultra
Resizer - Spline16
Width: 256
Height: 144
Audio bitrate: 128
Samplerate: 32768
Mode: Joint Stereo
Normalize: On




Once you've chosen your settings, close the box and press Run in the original Window. Encoding at these settings can take some time. Once done, you should receive a .dpg file in your output folder. This .dpg is a movie which can be played on your DS. If you want to speed up the converting process, you can lower the Profile and number of passes but this will also lower the quality of the converted video.

Nice .dpg converter, I'll have to give it a try. When I find the time I'll compare it with the program that I use and see which one is faster, I know some of these programs can take some time to convert the video files to dpg. Just lookin for the best option.
