did you update the shell folder? Second is it in the root dir? Are you using the correct supercard file from the supercard folder for 1.4 and the correct one for 1.41 from the program, others unchecked?

I've got a problem, if anybody has an answer i'd be grateful.  I'm running Moonshell 1.41 on a supercard lite and everything is working fine except videos (which cause the screen to flash between an indescernible image and the menu) - which leads me to think it's encoding, not the installation as searching this forum appears to have confirmed that everything is present and in the right place.

I'm currently encoding using Batchdpg, with auto framerate, a width of 256 and a height of 144, on the 'medium' profile and a maximum bitrate of 384 and 96kbps for audio.  The input files are Xvid-encoded avi files.  All the correct components are installed (memcoder, .NET framework, avisynth), and I've considered using mediacoder to convert the files to something else first (mp4 perhaps), but if you've got any ideas or if I've missed anything, I'd be very thankful for your expertise.  To hopefully watching scrubs on the train in the future.

Try this out and see if it the .dpg plays ok in the windows dpg player

here is the topic.

That doesn't play batchdpg encoded files.  It plays the sound, which is fine, but according to the topic, video should appear as it does - garbled.  Should I try dpgtools instead, or is that unnecessary?

Windows dpg does play batchdpg files as that is all i have anymore and tried it out and is working. Have you stepped back a version to see if it worked. On this threads first post is a version i think 1.31 or 1.32. Have you tried that out.

It sounds like you checked to make sure the shell is in the SC root, correct? Also you are using the correct version, SCLite setting for moonshell. When upgrading and downgrading moonshell, sure to replace the shell folder each time.

here is a excellent tutorial on the settings of batchdpg. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=35547

Also if all of your settings are good with moonshell, try out dpgtools. It does work to make dpg files.

By stepping back a version, you mean back a version of Moonshell, right?  Anyway, I got the Supercard Lite version in the first post, and I now have a discernible error on trying to play videos (albeit no playing of them).  Progress of a sort.  It presents this error on the log when faced with two videos (one made in batchdpg, the other in dpgtools);

Unknown dpg format ID=31475044

Also, the files made in dpgtools play in Windows Dpg.  Since you quite rightly asked, the shell folder is in the root of the card.

Thanks for all your help so far.  I hope this makes more sense to you than it does to me.

:edit: I think it's possible I hadn't patched the main moonshell file properly, since patching it again seems to have worked.  I'm using the newest version of Moonshell again now, and the file I've made with dpgtools plays, but not the one made with batchdpg.  I think I can work it out from here.  Thanks for the help.
