3 Best 3DS Video Converters to Change Video for Nintendo 3DS Devices

Before we head to the details about each 3DS video converter, we would like to introduce some knowledge about the 3DS video file. In short, which video file types are compatible with the 3DS camera channel. Here are the specifications,

• File Format: AVI.
• Codec for image stream: Motion JPEG.
• Codec for audio stream: IMA ADPCM.
• Image resolution: 480 x 240.

But if you want to put some 3D video file in the right settings for 3DS, then besides those requirements above, its length should also be less than 10 minutes.

Now, let's start with the best 3DS video converters.

1. Online Convert

Online Converter enables users to convert video files for 3DS device from the local hard drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and even with just a URL link. After you import the source file, you can also select which part of the video file to be converted, if you want. There is also a box named Disable audio track which can help you to only process the images.

However, for Online Converter, you need to know that you can only convert as much as 100MB if you do not join its premium plan. In the premium plan, you can enjoy converting large files up to 8GB, up to 10 concurrent conversions, 200 files per conversion, higher priority conversion speed and ads free. You can go to here for the premium plan fees. But honestly, it is pretty expensive.

Pros

• User friendly interface.
• Multiple options for uploading the source video file.
• Cut feature.
• Disable audio track feature.

Cons

• Maximum 100Mb file size supported for free.
• The premium plan fees are high.

2. FileZigZag

FileZigZag is a very easy 3DS video converter tool. You import the file and then just click the Start Converting button. That's it. What else you need to do is just waiting it for finishing the rest jobs. Besides, there is also a feature naming Send me an email with links to converted files. If you are busy with other stuffs, you can check it, and it will notify you when it gets the job done. This is very considerate for users. It also provide users with a Chrome extension in the shop. You can add it to your browser and use it any time you like.

However, compared to the first tool Online Converter, it is kind of mean on the file size supporting. Users can only convert 10 files a day. And each file should not be more than 50MB. Besides, you can only select the video files from your local hard drive. For files saved in Dropbox, Google Drive, YouTube videos, or other web video files, you can do nothing about it.

Pros

• Easy to use.
• Send me an email with links to converted files feature.
• Chrome extension.

Cons

• Only allow very small file size.
• Maximum 10 files a day.
• Only local files can be imported.

3. Cloud Converter

Cloud Converter consists of two parts. The upper part is designed for the video files saved in the local hard drive. You just need to click the Add Files and then the Start Convert button after importing. It is very easy to use. The second part is for the web video files. Simply by inputting the URL or URLs and clicking the Download and Convert button, Cloud Converter would automatically analyze the URL(s) and change it or them for 3DS video format.

But for this tool, what makes it really bad is the requirement for video file size. If you are the free users, you are allowed to upload file with maximum 10MB in size. This is insane. Even you upgrade to the member users, the settings are also unreasonable. For example, its Platin plan is sold at 45 USD for a month, but the total file size is limited to 1GB. Personally, I am not very happy about that. Because if you choose some other desktop applications, for example, VideoProc Converter AI, they are only sold at about 30USD for lifetime, but users can convert as much as they want. There is no size limits at all.

Pros

• Easy to use.
• Web video files supported.

Cons

• Extremely small file size supported, for both the guest users and member users.

The Bottom Line

To sum up, if you do not want to spend any penny but prefer a reasonable file size supporting, Online Convert would be the best choice, even though it allows only 100MB for free. However, if you are willing to spend some money for things, Cloud Converter's Gold plan is kind of better, which is at 15USD one month for maximum file size in 400MB.
