Playing movies in format of Navi

blue_dlb · 05-09-2007, 07:10 PM

I briefly went through the navi disc. The files are in I think .dss or .dds. What if we converted the dvd(vob) files into the .dds files. Maybe we can watch it on our navi.

Give it a shot. 99.9% sure it won't work. Let us know the outcome.

Are you talking about renaming a DVD video file to the same extension as the navi database software on the disk?

If this is it then it's not going to work, don't waste a cd. The navi unit isn't going to know what the hell to do with it, there is nothing in there that tells it how to work with decoding video.

This file format is supported by the Microsoft DirectX Texture tool (DXTex Tool), as well as some third party tools, and by the Direct3D extensions (D3DX) library.

The .dds file format is an image file. Even if you could convert your DVDs into the .dds format, the navi wouldn't know what to do with it. Plus, you'd have no sound. But, like I said before, give it a shot and let us know.

Are there no master programmers driving a civic? maybe it's just not worth their time. Maybe someone can intro this to those gurus who hack softwares all day and night for freeee.

As for playing the file, maybe we can program it to play based on a certain address input.
