'''Note:''' Video resolution that exceeds screen resolution (400x240 on OLD2DS, 800x240 on OLD3DS, NEW2DS and NEW3DS) has little visible effect.
===Preparing videos===
Using ffmpeg (advanced users):
* Download and install [https://ffmpeg.org/download.html ffmpeg].
** For NEW3DS and NEW2DS: <code>ffmpeg -i {input_file_name} -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -s 800x240 -preset medium -crf 25 {output_file_name}</code>
** For OLD3DS and OLD2DS: <code>ffmpeg -i {input_file_name} -acodec aac -vcodec mpeg4 -s 400x240 -crf 25 {output_file_name}</code>
*Copy generated video files to your 3DS (anywhere on your SD card).
*Replace <code>{input_file_name}</code> with your input file name and <code>{output_file_name}</code> with your output file name.
*Example: <code>ffmpeg -i original_video.mp4 -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -s 800x240 -preset medium -crf 25 converted_video.mp4</code>
*For converting 3D video, refer to [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-video-player-for-3ds.586094/page-10#post-9575227 this post by T0biasCZe].
