Software \ Help for dpgenc

Recently, I've tried converting avi and wmv files via dpgenc to dpg files for viewing on my DS. Various problems occur, one is "The audio stream cannot be detected"(or something similar.)(avi file)
For the wmv file, after it does the first loading bit, it just terminates for some reason, just question marks displayed on the status box thingy.

I want to know if there are any good dpg converters that do not require full access to the C Drive or using administrator priveleges, or otherwise, a way to remedy the dpgenc problems.

If you are having problems with AVI's it sounds like you do not have the correct codec installed. Do you have any problem playing the avi's in windows?

No problems playing the avi/wmv off wmp/wmpclassic.

I have a very limited knowledge of codecs, please explain?

If you can play the avi's it usually means that the codec is fine.

What version of DPGtools are you using.

I had trouble with the latest version but when I dopped back to version 1.2 or 12 or similar I did not have any problems at all.

I think I'm using the one that came with Moonshell 170, that is, dpgtools131.

Thanks for the advice, I might try that.

I found my old CDROM installer thing when I originally bought my R4, using DPGtools12, so far so good on this encode.

Thanks for the help Eldude.

If you like old cartoons and movies check out moonbooks.net/ for movies already encoded to .dpg ready for downloading. No sign up required.

Thanks again Eldude, however, when I tried to download something from an ad site (Stargate banner) since my IP is Aussie, it didn't allow me to, which is a disappointment for an SG fan.

Main site seems fine however, but nothing sparks my interest, might delve deeper tomorrow.
