INTRODUCTION Dpg4x is a program that tries to make the DPG video creation as easy as possible on Linux. Since version 2.0 it also runs on Windows and OS X. If you are reading this, I suppose you already know what a DPG video is, so I'll be brief. A DPG video is the video format that you need if you want to play movies on your Nintendo DS. Dpg4x relies on mplayer/mencoder to do it's work, so any video file playable with mplayer can be converted to DPG. Check the INSTALL file for more details about dependencies and installation. 2.
