DivX and DS Via MoonShell?
OfflineHey there, I'm new to the forum and hightly new to programing, recently I receved a item that I bought for my Nintendo DS called an R4 card. it prity much lets me play any game I want, lisson to music.. and play vids however to play vids you must convert the vid's file into an DPG the full name is nDs-mPeG. it's based on Mpeg1
This is nice and all.. but for thouse of us that like anime and love having it on the go.. it is quite an extra step, I thought that the DS would be a grate thing to play it on.. but that means changing any anime I want to see into this DPG format of witch then I could no longer watch it on my computer.
My hope is that maybe someone here could help me in my quest heh for a way to have a DivX and or just playing Avi plug in so it could then be placed into the plugin file of the moonshell system. wether or not that would be the end of what would need to be done I'm not sure. I've provided links to a wiki site that has infomation about the moonshell program and on that page there is a link to the guy who made the program and from there you can download it and take a look. I'm not sure if you'll be abile to run it but it might work.

DivX and Xvid are MPEG-4.
And most AVI's are DivX or Xvid... A .divx file is simply a renamed .avi.
If you mean anime fansubs, those are usually DivX or Xvid (usually the latter, as Xvid is better).
So, yeah...
If you want something that will play DivX/Xvid, you'll want a Creative Vision:M or Vision:W, or an Archos that plays said formats (Click Tech Specs and look for DivX or Xvid, as long is one is there you're good, or if it says MPEG-4 ASP).
Oh and BTW, Xvid and DivX are backwards-compatible, 99% of the time. You have a Xvid file, it'll play in something that works for DivX. And vice versa.

Best video codecs:
1. Snow or Dirac (once they are better optimized and have final bitstreams)
2. x264
3. Xvid
Best audio codecs:
1. Ogg Vorbis AoTuV b5 (Lancer optimized version)
2. AAC-HE (only for < 96kb/s) (better than Vorbis at < 96kb/s)
3. AAC-LC
4. MP3
I see.. rats.. oh well hehe. thanks for the info.. a psp would be nice but I soo don't have the money for that right now ^^;;
anyway thaks.. oh achuly um.. you said that the ds dosn't have enouf power to play mpeg4 but all I want it to play is the Avi or DivX format. and the only DivX formats I have on my comp are the Anime that were secesfualy changed from Avi to DivX ... dose that change the out come ni? or am I still scrued if I wana do it this way?

DS doesn't have near the processing power needed for MPEG-4 video like DivX, sorry.
Get a PSP - it plays AVC (H.264) video, which is the best codec there is right now, even better than DivX/Xvid. It'll also play DivX/Xvid with the homebrew app PSPlayer MT (although not with files bigger than 480x272). Point of the AVC support is that it's an advanced enough codec that you can get very very good speed while still getting better quality than MPEG-1.

As for power of the DS and DS Lite is limited by the OS and card you are using. For your information the M3 SD X, M3 SD Slim and the M3 SD are the fastest adapters period (Since they uses a full size SD memory card you can use some of the fastest cards available, while micro and mini SD cards are slow) and can do anything that a psp can and more.
I have a 2 year old cell phone and it can play 176x144 .h264 encoded video's just fine since the latest firmware update has a better video and audio player. Don't tell me that my cell phone has more power than the DS! Anyway Someone should develope a Moonshell player that can play most all media like Apple does. It would not be too hard, as I have to use super to convert qt files and some others. I feel bad for all the newer R4 and M3 adapter users getting an inferior product for a smaller size, though you can't buy any true M3 SD Adapters any more along with other wanna be products. Too bad that the R4, M3 lite, G6 and M3 micro SD are too slow and don't have the extra built in memory as the SD V2 versions do. I am using Sandisk Extreme III and IV memory just fine!
Please don't add more lame answers for the DS or DS lite. I would not by a PSP if you gave me the money! My DS lite rocks with the M3 SD Slim Adapter!!! Just waiting for more Home Brew apps to come out.
