    I've been downloading Dattebayo's subbed Bleach episodes for a while and converting them to .dpg format for my own uses on the DS. As of 4/24/08, when releasing the new season of Bleach, they decided to change the format of Bleach to the same format that their subbed Naruto uses. The format is H264.avi. Here is what they posted:

    "Dattebayo to Change Bleach Format [UPDATED]

    2008/04/24
    Dattebayo is announcing today that Bleach is changing to the same video format as Naruto, which is H264 in an AVI container, in widescreen. It will have the same resolution as the Naruto releases.

    Dattebayo has also completed testing for the minimum computer requirements in order to play the new releases. The playback baseline is a Pentium 3 laptop at 750mhz. If your system meets this spec, it can play our releases.

    The particular system tested was a Toshiba Portege 2000, with 384mb of RAM running Windows XP SP2. In this configuration, playback of Naruto 55 required 60-80% of system resources, with no delays or slowdowns. The playback was done in Windows Media Player 9. The H264 decoder used was CoreAVC's "Standard Edition" available for 8$ from this site. If you choose this option rather than the free players recommended on the howto page, make sure you remove all other decoders after installing CoreAVC.

    By Dattebayo's calculations, the change in format will make approximately 1.2% of users using the lowest end PCs experience lag during playback. If you have a PC that is slower than 750mhz, please upgrade. 800mhz and faster computers are commonly disposed of by corporations, and may be available for no charge from recycling centers."

    DPGTools is the converter that comes with moonshell. It sucks. Use either BatchDPG or SUPER converter. Just google the name.

    BatchDPG is the best imo, super is too slow and finding the download like through thier website is a mission.

    H264 isn't an avi format, its MPEG.
