Can VLC read or convert into .DPG Movies? They are Nintendo DS Movies.
It would be great to be able to preview Nintendo DS movies before dropping them on the Nintendo DS.
It would be amazing to be able to convert any format into .dpg Nintendo DS compatible format in linux!

according to that, dpg files are just normal MPEG files. So they should work in VLC.

Unfortunately, you can just hear the audio but you cannot see the video
I guess it's because the DPG has its own header, 36 bytes long, and VLC doesn't handle it.
You can read the details about the header here, and I guess it would require very little effort to make that MPEG file play on VLC too.
Thanks!

edit: well, it turns out that the 36 bytes header is for DPG0 only, DPG1 has a 40 bytes header (pixel type 4 bytes field inserted somewhere) and DPG2 has a 44 byte header (another 4 bytes field inserted...). That's what I found googleing around...
