viDSnips is a basic media player for the NDS intended for showing short video clips within games. This library uses viDSnips 2 that has a number of significant improvements over the initial player. The choppy sound issue has been sorted out with crisp audio reproduction in version 2. The video playback is also improved and more robust and the .vDS media file format has also been improved allowing much smaller media files. I have also made the video converter tools much more manageable.
This viDSnips library is to be used with DSGM and/or PALib based projects.
