A GUI program that allows you to play video on the 3DS. This application has the added advantage of supporting HoriHD and Stereoscopic 3D videos. All you have to do is import the movies/videos, choose output settings and apply filters. The program will spit out the converted video that you just put on your SD card and watch it.
It also supports WiiMC (WIP).
User guide
How to use
Extract the zip. If you downloaded the ffmpeg-less version, download ffmpeg and put it to the same directory as nvc.exe.
Run nvc.exe. Click the 3 dots and select your input video.
Choose 3DS/Wii.
3DS Mode
Choose the desired output format: standard 400x240p video (for Old 2DS), HoriHD 800x240p video, or Stereoscopic 3D video. If opting for 3D video, specify whether the input video is encoded as left/right or up/down.
Select the codec based on your device: for Old 3DS, choose between mpeg2 or mjpeg, while for new 3DS, H264 is an option.
Select a downscaling filter:
- Lanconz intelligently blends pixels.
- Nearest neighbor duplicates a single pixel.
- Mix downscales with Lanconz to double the resolution and then uses neighbor to downscale it to the final resolution (providing a sharper result compared to pure Lanconz and less jagged than pure neighbor).
Choose whether to stretch the video vertically:
- "No stretch" maintains the original aspect ratio.
- 10% scales it vertically on the vertical axis.
- Full stretch stretches it to fullscreen.
If a popup indicates that the vertical resolution is higher than 240p and you prefer not to stretch it vertically, choose "no." The tool will scale down the X axis to maintain the aspect ratio.
Click "Convert."
Copy the resulting file to your SD card and play it using Video Player for 3DS.
