Moonshell 0.7p1 for SC sd.

Phytagoras · January 05, 2006, 10:14:42 AM

Another problem here. When i try to encode the mpg files to dpg and play them in moonshell they dont run smooth. I thought it could be because i just have a normal sd card, but then i tried the high-speed sd-card from my brother and there is the same problem. So what to do. The mpg plays just fine on my PC. So it has to do something with the dpg encoder.

or as I said before, the data is streaming too slow from the SD card to allow full/unclipped playback

to me it would be a limit of the SD hw interface and software driver.

But the lost episode played great besides the sound issues.

low resolution and not full screen encoded, I think moonlight mentions that on the gbadev thread, to get non-clipped video to use only part of the screen (like the lost episode does)

you can also encode to 256*192 but with 12fps only (TMPGenc) it runs fine, except the sound is choppy at 48Khz (runs fine with any other frequency).

Cory1492 do you have read my previous message? at least, if you can't upload the full dev environnment just upload your source please

I'm on the way in the making of a new dpgenc, which will be able to convert multiple mpg into dpg at a time (command line version at first, then i'll build a WxWidget GUI). I have figured out the dpg format, i'm making some search about mpeg format and any possibly audio format which could be faster to decode (GSM & mp3 are great CPU eater...)

The porblem of choppy video when decoding is not (only) a problem wiith SD read speed, it's also the CPU that limits the decoding. Also, the DPG format is not optimised in terms of streaming because the audio and video are not streamed along together (like avi or mkv for example), the audio and video parts are two distincts part in the file, and are decoded separatly.

Hi,

I have some troubles with the sound too.
It simply doesn't work when i encode a movie using dpgenc.
I have tried different settings, unsuccessfuly.

When i start a movie, a crackling sound on the first second (same sound when shutting done the NDS).

I have tried to reinstall ffshow. Same problem.

Any idea ?

there's a bug in dpgenc (I located it). Use 100% volume and it works.
