MVD Services

From 3dbrew
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is for using the MVD hardware video decoder(unknown whether MVD can do more than decoding). The New_3DS Internet Browser uses mvd:STD for video decoding.

See here for the supported hardware decoder video codecs. Going by strings in the browser, the hw decoder seems to also support MJPEG.

A maximum of 4 sessions can be opened at a time, for all of these services combined.
