DS Misc > What program can I use to play DS video (.vx/.dmd) on Pc ?

#99158 - PrTv - Sat Aug 19, 2006 9:05 pm

It's not dpg format but it's .vx and .dmd format.
I extract these videos from Castlevania and Metroid Prime but don't know how to watch it on pc.

I tried google but can't find any clue.


Thanks

How did you extract them from the game?

i think he unpacked the game.


@topic, its a special codec. you have to ask the codec developer or the publisher of the games to get any information about these codecs(sometimes, theres a credit to the codec at the beginning of a game), but i can tell you for sure, you wont get the license of the codec for free!

You could try to decode(or was it encode? i forgot what is what xD) the movie by yourself(or maybe with some help) but i think you dont have enough knowledge about codecs...

theres a third way to watch these movies on pc: open your DS and connect somehow the data cable of the lcd displays to your pc and try to record the pictures on the DS with you PC

and heres another way: use a good ol' camera and capture your LCD displays with it!

Thanks for your replies.

Use a program called "Graph Edit" and drag-drop it in.

I cant garenty it will work, but GE generaly does a darn good job at finding the right codecs/connections to play stuff.

DPG and GBM/GBS formats play on it for me.
