dpgv4 is a [FFmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/) wrapper for converting video files
to DPG4 format. The DPG format is used by the
[MoonShell 2](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Moonshell) media player for the
[Nintendo DS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS_family) handheld
console.
## Installation
There is no installation script yet. Clone this repository and make sure you
have [Python 3.x][download-python], [Pillow][download-pillow] and
[FFmpeg][download-ffmpeg] installed. The app should work on all systems that
have those dependencies.
[download-python]: https://www.python.org/downloads/
[download-ffmpeg]: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
[download-pillow]: https://python-pillow.org/
## Usage
Run:
~/path/dpgv4.py *.mp4
Run with `--help` for a list of options.
Run with `-v` to see the ffmpeg commands used for reencoding. Note that the
ffmpeg commands write binary audio / video data to STDOUT, so if you decide to
run them e.g. for debugging purposes, you should probably redirect the output
to a file.

How is this project different?
- uses FFmpeg (ffmpeg and ffprobe) instead of mplayer / mencoder / mpeg_stat,
- only supports version 4 of the DPG format,
- less options / quality settings to play with,
- better temporary file handling with tempfile.TemporaryFile,
- modern code structure: small, hopefully easy to understand functions, tests,
pylint.
