Nice review there, certainly looks promising.
How would you compare the video and audio playback quality between Moonshell and the DSVision's movie player? This post has been edited by colinwong89: Sep 17 2008, 02:17 AM |

QUOTE(zorocaster @ Sep 17 2008, 08:00 AM) I would say the DSVision's movie player has an edge here in both video and audio playback quality, it's smoother and sounds nicer too. However, I'm comparing the Pokemon movie (on my DSVision) with an old Superman cartoon (on my R4, downloaded from moonbooks.net), so it might be a little unfair. Wait till I convert an episode of Macross Frontier to dpg format then I'll try again. I'm particularly being curious here, as those videos that use the ActImagine codec (eg. FFIV, Castlevania POR) look really blocky, and it's almost the same for Moonshell's DPG format. It doesn't seem that the problem lies with not enough bitrate, and might be the DS not having enough processing power, so I'm looking forward to an honest comparison Hehe. Yay...on Gonintendo! http://gonintendo.com/?p=56072   |

QUOTE(zorocaster @ Sep 18 2008, 01:05 AM) Honestly, I'm speaking from a layman's point of view as stuff like bitrates and codecs are really not my cup of tea (and so is watching movies on the DS actually, sorry). It's just my habit of going off the beaten track (rather than all these mainstream follow the crowd thing, yawn) being the reason for getting the DSVision in the first place. Don't worry about it, I don't really care for watching movies on the DS either. It's just that I want to know if Nintendo had implemented new tricks up their sleeves for the cart of theirs. There isn't much media comparison to do between homebrews and official software, and incidentally that watching videos with homebrew software is still far from satisfactory for me, I thought if you could just provide more info about it.As for my experience watching the Pokemon movie, I thought it was pretty ok, no slow downs, great visuals. Just that it is counter-intuitive a wide screen movie on a small screen. You might be interest to know that I managed to convert an episode of Macross Frontier to dpg format for comparison purposes. IMHO, the Pokemon movie is superior to that of my converted effort. If you are interested in the technical details for the DPG file conversion (I'm using Super ©), here goes: - Video Scale Size: 256:192 - Aspect: 4:3 - Frame/Sec: 15 - Bitrate: 432 kbps Anyway, anything else notable to mention with the DSVision?  |

Just tried Kumatanchi and I was surprised at the quality during the opening video. It's so much better than other in-game videos that I actually thought it wasn't a video at all.
Hope the quality of DSVision rivals that. |
