What are the optimum settings for TCPMP? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Would anyone care to list the best settings to use for TCPMP on the Jasjar/Universal?
What is the best video driver, what should be buffer sizes, microdrive?, preload at underrun etc etc...I have tried playing around with them, but not really sure what I'm doing, so would appreciate some help here.
Thanks in advance.

You don't have a microdrive - that's the old IBM (I think) Compact flash hardrives.

Otherwise, I think the graphics should be set for xscale, and most of the other stuff is to personal taste I think. I've never fiddled to much with it and it works well enough.
Preload and buffering are again for loading up a certain amount of data to RAM before playing media. I've never needed to play with the settings.
What kinds of things are you (potentially?) having troubles with?
V

The usual slightly jerky video replay on files. Even WMV files that play perfectly in WMP on the Jasjar, seem to struggle a bit in TCPMP. I thought I might be able to reduce some of the jerkiness by tweaking the settings, but being the plank that I am, I don't really know or understand what they do.

I think the video accelerator option being set to xscale is pretty much the best you can do.
Try playing with lower sound quality to check.
Try increasing the "normal buffer" slightly, I keep mine at 2400k; too high and it may hinder performance because the system will be fighting for resources.
Ignore microdrive.
In advanced you can try "prefer less buffering", but I don't use it and have no problems.
"lookup tables over arithmetic" should help, but again, I don't use it.
On xscale I tick all three.
What resultion/bitrate are the files?
V

The only setting I have played with is in the advanced menu is the "Manual A/V offset +/-" . I have selected -130ms in order to get the lip sync right.

I read on another site some chap thats done alot of testing of TCPMP, and im sure the best gfx performance was when on RAW. summut like 40% better performance over the rest.

Just making sure that everyone knows there's a new version of TCPMP available - Version 0.70

Any major changes?

Not that I can see...a new plugin for speex or something that I've never heard of...

VNC options for trinity (have searched)

hi all
Recently got an M700 and am loving it. Since discovering this place I've been amazed at what customisations you can do, and with flashing to WM6 using AX3L's fantastic ROM, getting TomTom6 working, and a few choice other apps to allow FTP etc., i've now got a device that does pretty much everything I could ask of it anywhere! (Probably matter of time till I brick it though...).
What I am missing though, is a decent VNC client (although I've used the RDP client semi-successfully).
I've searched for 'VNC' but no joy - surely that can't be the case when there's so much other stuff available? or is the search function not liking the term...?
thanks for a great forum & resource
Did you see the posts re zoomVNC on PocketPC Thoughts? Looks nice!

i have now
thanks - looks excellent
i guess there's others out there i couldn't search for too!
For me the best is PTPocketOffice.
It was recommended by Menneisyys:
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1572&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
It consumes a lot less data than the others VNC.
It's fast.
It has fullscreen.
It can be used one handed.
The server side can resample the pictures to make it smaller (less data and better image than if it was done by client side).
The only minor thing I'd like to see improved is their proprietary softkeyboard. why not using the system keyboard? I don't want to use a new keyboard with each of my apps...
that's a great article
i hadn't thought to even try logmein until reading it there, i'd assumed that with their remote screens always being slightly fuzzy and smaller it mightn't be great - wow, was i wrong!
just tried logging onto a client's SBS server and the screen scaling and rotation together make it nearly as useable as a standard desktop! the screen scrolling at the side of the screen is a great interface! there'll be occasions where i need VNC, but for know i think I've got a favoured solution

Video capability

Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to play heavy mkv files?
The Intel A110/GMA950 handles it well?
Not that I will watch on the shift but would be nice to out it to tv monitor..
If not has anyone tested it with less heavier but still high quality videos?
Mine is arriving in 5 days so I am not able to test yet..
Thanks!
Countdown!
365 days...(first time I read about it...)
10...(purchase)
5... (today)...
Did you get the video to work... looking at getting one but am worried about the speed of the machine... I know it's not a racecar, but I would like to be able to play a movie, do general Office 2007 work etc... what's your impression?
thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Office 2007 is working perfect. I installed the Enterprise version with full installation
Movies did not play well, but I must confess my energy state was "power saver".
I don't know how it is with "performance"
Will try that later.
I paly movies on mine and have no problems after installing the correct codecs.
this is the typical specs for the movies i watch, either in DivX or mp4

Me too.
Divx movies run smoothly. (first installed K-lite mega codec pack.)
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah
could someone try to run mkv videos on the shift and post some results?
I'm in a bit of doubt regarding shift playing them smoothly. The intel gma950 should be able to handle them without much problems, also the RAM memory should be enought but however I'm concerned about the processor. Try to run the videos by allocating higher priority from vista's task manager to the video player and it's process.

MorphGear Issue

I'm using Cotulla's ROM WWE_O3 on my Qtek S100, and I have almost everything (if not everything) installed on my SD Card... But I'm trying to load a 30MB+ GBA rom and it won't load due to insufficient space...
That leaves me with 1 of 2 options:
1) Delete unecessary stuff from the Device Internal Memory (I was thinking MSExcel, MSOneNote, WMP maybe (if I can find a better media player) and Internet Explorer
2) Find a way for MorphGear to use my SD Card as the storage for the ROM, therefore bypassing the lack of memory issue.
Problem is, I'm too much of a noob to do what I just mentioned and need help from people who actually know how these things work =P
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
K.
What amazes me is that you can even play GBA roms on your phone. How do you cope with choppy gameplay?
anyway, you are on the right track..for a media player try TCMP or coreplayer, you can install them on yor storage card. for a browser try iris browser.
to delete files sync your fone up. then go into your device's /windows folder. or the /programfiles folder. I would be careful though! who knows what effect it will have. probably none if im honest. please let me know what happens!
Chris
I'm only using it to play Yu-Gi-Oh! so the choppiness isn't a big issue
(don't ask about the rom... i just love Trading card games )
well ive installed morphgear, and tried to play super mario and it seems ok, but like u said u want a bigger rom to play.
problem is going to be the available space. it may be impossible..u could try going back to 2003se that may give you enough space. i really dont know though.
and i think its great that your playing yu-gi-oh, and thank you for mentioning morphgear, ive been looking for something like that for ages, its immense ( i now have over 400 turbografx roms) such high quality! i really hope you solve your problem!
hahaha I like mario

Widget-Game morpion free

hey! I have created a little widget which is a game named Morpion in french. You can play with in four modes: vs. Computer easy, medium or hard or two players.
hard mode is really hard, but if you beat it, I want to kow it!
You can download it by searching for MyMorpionWidget on the market.
I will post bar code as soon as possible.
I hope you will comment my job and enjoy yourself with it!

thought you'd like to know ive beaten the cpu 3 times on hard (i won the first and lost 2 times then i won 2 times/ same strategy)
I suppose it is not hard enought... You are a good gamer, if you give me your strategie, it won't be able anymore, but if nobody can win, does the game be still interesting?
You should be able to balance it. If people win to easily they will be bored, if they never win they will be frustrated. Either reaction will have the same result: don't play with the game.
I'll try it as soon as possible.
I understand, that's why, there is three mode of difficulty.
The real probleme is that this game is a kind limited...
I am thinking about a cheat mode. It will change a little the rules. Can't finish with a null. After one or two turn you will be able to erase circle or cross where you wan't to play. I'll test it and if it is cool, I'll publish it.
The problem with the game is indeed that it is too easy. With that I mean that optimal play can always be achieved by both CPU and human player. If the CPU does not make mistakes intentionally, it will always end in a draw (or CPU win). However, since the game is so simple, making mistakes intentionally is too obvious and makes the AI look stupid.
I propose that you change to another similar game that is not that easy to beat. I assume you are French, so you might know "puissance quatre" (connect four). If you can get it to fit into the dimensions of the widget, that would be a much better choice.
Anyway, good work, keep it up

For those looking for a video converter that works

greetings! im still new to these forums (and to the atrix, only had it for a week), but i figured i'd share something that some people might find interesting.
http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-to-Motorola-Phones-Converter.htm
DVDVideoSoft have been around for a while making a bunch of free video converters for many applications. however, previously it was a bit messy and finicky to make a suitable profile for a particular device since you had to edit the xml file and try to figure out a decent setting for certain vids.
i noticed that a while back they disabled the ability to edit the xml files to create your own video converting profiles, so i stopped using them.
but randomly i figured id give them a go again today. found out that they added a preset editor so we can create our own profiles to suit our motorola atrix.

ive circled the button that allows you to tap into the preset editor.
these are the settings im using to convert for my atrix. 960x540 resolution.
i recommend setting the framerate to 30fps. if your source video is running at less than 30fps, the program will stick to the same framerate as the source video. however, if you set the framerate lower than the source video's framerate, you'll lose frames.
as for bitrate, i havent had much time to mess around with it. 2.5mbps looks pretty, but you should able to go as low as 1.5mbps with minimal sacrifice on image quality, and it will make the file size a lot lower.
with audio bitrate, this is a personal preference. i dont like going below 192kbps, but some people wont notice the difference.
after that, just rename the profile to whatever you'd like, and happy converting.
the program isnt the fastest available, but its simple and works well enough. the videos play well on my atrix using the default video player and look pretty awesome.
enjoy!
Thank ye very much.
Testing now.
It's main test: Softsubs.
Gotta get my anime fix on the go.
Report: Does not work on .ass type softsubs.
