Hi guys'n'gals
I'm seriously considering upgrading my pensionable P900 to either a Magician or a Wizard device. I'm currently thinking Wizard for the persistent storage and built-in wifi, but I really want to be able to play good-quality videos using betaplayer/TCPMP. Has anyone tried this on the Wizard, and is the performance reasonable compared with the JAM?
Cheers

video isnt that great
i have used video with the imate ii, imate jam, and the wizard
and just by comparing them the worst video in quality is the wizard,
the capture speed is also slightly slower on the wizard maybe because of the speed of the device being slower, so u sometimes get the occasional freeze while taking video
I think he means playing a movie or video file on the Wizard, not recording one with the camera...
I've been watching episodes of Scrubs on my K-JAM for the last couple of days, and I'm suitably imoressed. First, TCPMP works, rather than crashing or hogging memory. Secondly, the frame rate is impressive for such a small device. It is slightly slower than my iPaq 4150, but not enough to really notice. The sound quality is also very good.
guys, can you STREAM videos from your computer HD/router to the WIZARD without saccades ?
or are you talking about SD stored movies only ?
thanks :wink:
Hey all
I've got the following two devices:
HTC Tornado, and HTC Magician.
i LOVE pocketPC now that i've used one! i've got the chance to swap either the Magician for a Charmer (which is basically an m600 without wi-fi if im right) OR
My Tornado for a Wizard/Vario/XDA Mini S.
I'm wondering which one people think would be best to go for?
i hear theres WM6 for the wizard? true?
also, i'd like to know what video playback is like on the device, i.e does it HAVE to be overclocked in order to view an uncompressed 700mb AVI file using coreplayer?! also, people who have one currently, are you happy with it?!
thanx.
You have to play 320x240 videos on the Wizard as the processor can't cope with anything bigger. My old Alpine could play uncompressed DVD backups but the battery life was poor. The Wizard feels more responsive then my Alpine but is slower with some tasks.
Sorry for my English but I just cannot describe in words completely.
I have had an O2 mini, Asus P535 and a HTC P3600 (known as Dopod D810 here). They are all capable of playing MPEG1 videos okay, except P3600.
By not okay I mean it is smooth with adequate frame rates, however, there are times that the trace of colors of the previous frame is left to the current frame. It's very unnatural and strange since the very identical video plays well in all other machines, including the HTC Touch with less processing power.
The similar problems happen in MPEG4 videos as well, no matter what video player (WMP, TCPMP, CorePlayer) is used. Again, the same file is doing just fine in older machines.
I learn that new models use Qualcomm video chipset, does it matter at all?
trin speed
remember you need to optimize video before playing on a trinity, you might need to re/trans code your videos.

what do you mean by "re/trans code" your videos? I too am having the same problem. I convert a lot of flash videos into an AVI format and when I had an Atom Life I had no problems playing them with tcpmp, but with the trinity, there are botches here and there.
at3m, how do I get all those codecs that mentioned?
thanks!
This is the first time posting so bare with me. I have Slingbox Pro at home and since I purchased my new HTC Sprint Touch Diamond I have been trying Slingbox Mobile. I am still tweaking settings and testing but currently I find video streaming a bit slow but audio OK! Have not tried WI FI yet. Has anyone else been using Slingbox Mobile? Would like to know your tweaks, settings etc... on improving video quality.
Thanks
Sprint HTC Touch Diamond DIAM 500
ROM - 1.09.651.5
Radio -1.00.00F
OS - Windows Mobile 6.1
I have been using it for a while, though I am not sure I have figured out the optimum settings, it is working pretty well over wifi but a little jumpy in fullscreen.
These are my settings:
Player: Buffer setings-manual
Optimization:Enable slingstream optimizer
Enable fast start
Encoding:Enable sling stream optimization X
Video Bitrate 250
Video FPS 20
I-Frame interval 5
Video rseolution 320x240
Audio: Stereo low
advanced: no alert
no stats
reconnect
X=exit
no audio video offset
Use GDI Rendering
On the whole I am pretty pleased with it, but mainly because it turns my laptop into a TV, the mobile software does leave a lot to be desired, especially since they make you pay on top for the mobile software, that is taking the piss on an already expensive piece of kit.
Thanks for the reply post... I have been using Slingbox Pro and my son also who is in Germany has been using it and we both agree that the video and audio quality is great. I have SprintTV as well as DiamondTV which are OK but nothing like having my own DishNetwork TV programs. I am thinking of purchasing the Slingbox Mobile software. It's only $29.99... What's a few more $$$$ anyway. LOL! Again thanks....
I use Slingbox Mobile too. I paid for it because to it's worth a one-time fee of 30 bucks to be able to stream my tv to my phone with full control. I'm aware of Orb as a free alternative but it's way too bulky and resource intensive. Slingbox definitely beats it.
I have not touched any settings at all in Slingbox Mobile. Everything is default. I stream over 3G data and I think the picture looks great and the sound is great. I hope they update the Mobile app soon to have some of the functionality that the latest Desktop version has (DVR buffer, and Guide data). Overall, it's my favorite app on my Diamond.
I also am very happy with my Slingbox (Pro in my case) with my Tilt. I use it with the my recently acquired Motorola S9/S9-HD bluetooth headset and I have to say it GREAT. Highly recommend the wireless headset to go with you slingbox. The older S9's can be found on ebay for under $40, just watch out for knock offs from China.
I've been using the Slingbox Mobile software too and I've found the picture and audio to be fine most of the time. The only problem I have is that my upload speed via my broadband is terrible (thanks BT) so it sometimes struggles. When I use it at home it's fine though.
Hopefully this is the right place, looked at forums list and didn't see a BST nor were there rules for no sales allowed here, please move it if I am mistaken however.
Anyways here u have it!
