Just click on it in File Manager app.
The format is the same as for trailers; simply change the resolution from square to 4:3 or 16:9. The length is limited by the FAT32 file size, which is ~4GB.

It does not work for me, I tried mp4, Mpeg-1 and AVI (all in 352x240 or 320x240) any other suggestion?....

Scroll down and look for conversion examples by using ffmpeg:

For bigger resolution need reduce bitrate.

Well, I am working on converting some HD movies to a DC decent format. I found some Movie players (ISO format) work in former DS 4.0.0 version but NOT in the UPDATED 4.0.3, there was some changes in compatibilities for them? or maybe it needs another preset now?.

Why don't you want to use a video format that DS natively supports (MPEG-4 + PCM/ADPCM)? It works better than any older players.

I already tried MPEG.4/AVI, etc, they are not working just clicking on them in DS, share me just 1 working movie, it took me hours converting and not a single video works but in other players yes

Spin Master DreamNEO did not work using the DC_IMG_Tool.
But using the ISO and the alternative LBA worked with booting from the CD.

Sometimes you had to unscramble the first read.bin before running the game.
