EZBuilder DPG
DPG Video Converting with EZBuilder
The Moonshell DS application can play DPG video. It does a very good job and compression is pretty good. The R4 Revolution DS has Moonshell builtin. You can play DPG on any DS cart that allows you to load Moonshell.
I stumbled upon a very good batch converter for DPGs, it doesn’t have a nice gui but it’s very well made. Just drop the files in a folder, run a text program, hit 2 keys and it starts converting. EZBuilder rocks and is the best converter not only for DS DPG’s but PSP formats, and many other devices too! Tell all your friends.
EZbuilder 3.0 beta is out, but it’s in Chinese for now so I’m sticking to the old version which works very well.
Software needed:
EZBuilder (English Site)
EZBuilder (Chinese Site official)
AVISynth
KLite Mega Codec Pack
- Download English version of EZBuilder.
- You need codecs, I usually use the Klite Mega codec packs from free-codecs.com
- This has every codec under the sun, DIVX, Xvid, RM, QT, etc
- Download and install AVISynth. I’m using 2.5.7
- Unzip EZBuilder to a directory (www.7zip.org to download decompresser)
- Copy the videos you want to convert into the MediaFile folder
- For SRT subtitles, put them them in MediaFile folder with the same name as the movie. ex. shrek.srt with shrek.avi
- For SSA/ASS/IDX/SUB subtitles, put them in Subtitle folder
- Run ezbuilder.exe
- Choose [2] ” Nintendo DS About “
- Choose [1] NDS-DPG
- Wait, encoding times varies with your CPU, I have core2duo 1.8Ghz and it converts pretty fast.
- When your file is converted, it should show up in the DoneFile directory
- Copy the WHATEVER.DPG file in the DoneFile directory to your microSD card
- Launch Moonshell and watch
Hints:
1. Try not to have funky characters or spaces in your file name
2. Use the NTFS Link Shell extension
