I downloaded the Touchdesigner software for Windows, but it doesn't work since it requires vulkan DLL files not available for my Intel HD Graphics (i've a Core I5-6200 Old CPU, new drivers are not available). Is there some other way to convert an MP4 to MVC format? Offline or Online? for Windows 7 or Windows 10/11. Thanks in advance. Hi that's tricky. I did originally start with a CPU version and it's still included but saved out on the latest 2023 versions. I wonder if you can download some Vulkan emulators? I'm mostly away this week but I think that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the derivative.ca website you can download and install TouchDesigner for either Windows or Mac. Cheers My mistake. I didn't download the Touchdesigner on my Mac when I tried it. Now everything is running on the Mac, but I hope it works. I just finished my encoding of The Last Starfighter, but it's not saving. I can preview the file, but it won't save on the Windows machine. I am not sure what is happening. *Edit - I figured it out. I didn't press the final render button. I am doing that now on both machines.

Mockduck Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Has anyone tried using Davinci Resolve to output/export/publish the MKV file? I noticed it supports that format and is free software. Planning to try it myself, but won't be able to until August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The file extension for moviecart is .mvc not .mkv MKV is Matroska video which is a container type often used for MP4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Philsan Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Movie Cart landed in Switzerland, thanks! I printed the case with white filament and I found blinking red led is very distracting. Would it be possible to tunr it off while playing the movie? Perhaps to avoid the problem I should use black filament instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll answer as no one was forthcoming with any kind of response when I asked. No, unfortunately not. No one is sharing, not even public domain stuff. We have to do it ourselves. I guess that's part of the fun. 🤷🏻🤣 I bought a usb dvd drive and started doing my own. I also grabbed some music videos from YouTube too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiskDoctor Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Hi guys. I am sorry I couldn't get through 35-pages-long thread. I bought the Moviecart, I tested it - works well. Now I want more. I want more movies (not necessarily, full-feature ones). As the conversion process is very long (and it's a one-time duty too), is there any repository on the web when one could download any form of animation, prepared to be ready to be played on Moviecart? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which STL did you use for this? Also, on the light issue, someone created a running man cutout for the PiRTO II... maybe you could do the same with an Atari Fuji? It wouldn't cut down on the distraction, but it would look cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even see it when I was using it without a case shell so do you have a mirror or is up against a white wall or something? But yes, using black or a more opaque material would mask that more.

Limitation of Chrome? Okay I can see the videos if I use the browser on my phone. The light is reflecting inside that shell and so yes I can see how you are able to see that since it ins't a total opaque plastic. I don't see it as I'm using an old PacMan cartridge to house mine.

Limitation of the browser on my computer it seems. When using the browser on my phone I can see the videos so I edited my past above. I can see how that would be distracting for you. How about trying to apply some finger nail polish on the LED to try and block it that way or at least minimize how much light it puts out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Yes, Chrome on my PC doesn't show videos, Chrome on Android shows them... Thanks, it could be an idea, if my wife agrees 😂 Otherwise I will print another cart with black filament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another topic - is there anywhere available, the box dedicated for Moviecart? I mean box with the hole drilled for microSD. I also mean ‘available’, not the DIY.

t1lt Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 hey folks! wish I'd seen the model posted by @monzamess before I started but I too have made a Moviecart 3D printable housing 🙃 Atari 2600 Moviecart Cartridge Housing by t1lt - Thingiverse Turned out pretty clean, snaps together really nice and you don't need to cut the labels to pull it open (a must for me lol) Anyway hopes it helps to save an original 2600 Pac-Man cart or two from being scrapped lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergun Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 So, like, for those of us who don’t own a 3-D printer and aren’t familiar with all that kind of stuff, is there a way of just buying one of these cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
