DPG movie files on DS

[NathanBarnatt]

Where can I get some .DPG movie files to watch on my CycloDS? Not a torrent site though.

Convert them yourself.

OK I downloaded it but have a mac so .exe files wont work for me.

I wish we could mod this forum so that every time someone says "mac", it just automatically inserts a facepalm image.

So we can all conform to Microsoft's monopoly?

How bout all software is created in an open format so that all OS can use them? Maybe that would be more constructive.

I'm sure all the independent, unpaid developers would love to double up their workload for the sake of a 10% boost to their userbase. Sure that makes sense.

No, the facepalm would work for when Mac users expect their OS to give them something it cant. And there is a lot that it can't give.

You act like there aren't any video converters on Mac. Sure you can't use the windows tool, but that doesn't mean there's not something else you can use.

OS X runs mencoder and python. According to Wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDs-mPeG) there's a python script for conversion. You may have to build mpeg_stat, but that should be straight forward. Enjoy.

I kinda want to add on to the Anti-Mac sentiment, but Hatta took the fun and answered his questions.

Yeah, linux have these program "packages" that can work across multiple distros, but the hope that it will become as mainstream as Microsoft isn't likely yet. And that would also require M$ to try and forget they control 85-90% computer market. They are the standard so far, so far logically, since its the standard, other O/S's should probably try and use *.EXE's. Not saying the standard is the best, but its the standard.

Back to topic, Oh I love to watch movies on my ds!

...and for Linux there is Wine (which I use on my PC). So you can run .exe files and use Windows form applications (i thought it was for Mac too?). I like Mac but honestly, its not that great, and most of the Mac 'people' I know (including myself) are smug, arrogant, loyalists who 90% of the time have no idea what they are talking about. Not to say that you are Nathan 'cause your not, but there is no denying, that most of the Mac userbase fall into the egotistical, attention-grabbing snob that doesnt know how to use a computer in the first place and only likes Mac because its 'cool' and it seperates them from the rest of the dull, working, buisness-class and gaming oriented main stream that is the Windows community, and the techy, nerd-core, open source (and in some cases, piracy) advocating Linux community.

Also worth noting that although most packages work fine across distro's and thats fine and dandy, RPM's are the worst way to possibly do it, which is conflicting with my favorite distro which happens to be Mandriva.
