In the last part, I showed you how to get going with NDSRS. I also showed you how to take your anime and dorama with you using Moonshell and dpgenc.

While I was revising that post, @nii87 on Twitter pointed out another program for creating DPG video files called BatchDPG. Instead of waiting an hour or more, it only takes about 10-15 minutes to convert an hour of video. Not too shabby. So here’s the writeup.

Installing and using BatchDPG

1. Download and install BatchDPG, Avisynth, and ffdshow. You could go scouring the Internet for these, like I had to do, or you could just download them from my drop. Install Avisynth first, then ffdshow. I just left everything at default settings for these. BatchDPG requires no installation.

2. Run BatchDPG and click Settings.

   

3. Browse and set your temp directory and output directory. There’s no save button here; just ‘x’ out of the window and it will save your changes. Trust me, I checked.

   

4. Back at the main window, click Browse and find the file you want to convert. If you have a raw video file and you want to add subtitles (why?), click that button and find the .srt file. I think the Audio option lets you add an alternate soundtrack if you like. That could be fun.

   

5. Click Add to add that file to your batch. I’m not sure how many files you can add here; probably as much as your disk space can handle. Tip: You can also drag and drop files from Windows Explorer into this file window and it will add them for you.

   

6. Click Run.

   

7. Marvel and wonder at the speed. I don’t have a picture for ‘marvel and wonder’ to add here.

I mentioned in the last part that I would get a newer version of moonshell working soon. I just have to do some more playing around with that and I’ll have a walkthrough for that too.

Edit: Right after I posted this, BatchDPG refused to run again. I’m researching other solutions and will update this post when I have a better one.
