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!

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.
Hi
I am Using Schaps WinMob6 with an Motorola S9 over A2DP, as soon as I start streaming the system slows down so bad that it is almost impossible to use!
Is this normal? Anyone using A2DP experiencing the same Problem? What can I do to fix this?
Grüsse,
Chris
i have experienced the same thing no matter when ROM I use. theres not a lot of settings to change so they just sit in a drawer now collecting dust.

I'm experiencing this as well with Schaps ROM. If someone got it to work without problem, please let us know.
Hmm, I don't remember this problem when I was using Schaps ROM... what app are you using to stream. I pretty much solely used Coreplayer 1.1.1 for everything though.
Definitely not having this problem with K's rom which I'm testing now. It works sweet.
If I remember correctly I tried with both WMP and PP with the same result.
I believe A2DP takes a fair amount of CPU power - first the application needs to decode the mp3, then feeds it into the virtual sound device - bluetooth stereo - whose drivers then transcode the sound into something that can fit into Bluetooth's bandwidth. The transcoding has to be done in real-time so it probably has a high priority for CPU time. I don't think I've ever used a ROM where A2DP wouldn't slow down the device, and this includes an Axim x50v @ 624 MHz.
Hi Guys,
I have the feeling that things have gotten a bit better after installing Total Commander!?
Does this make sense?
Using TCPMP with You Tub plugin ( Vids Run great unless A2DP / )

It IS processor-intensive, particularly on Samsung CPU's, where it can easily eat 50% CPU time. This is why there's so bad a slowdown.
Read my related articles, they're all cross-posted to the Wiki here - I've elaborated a LOT on all these subjects.
mortplayer seems best for me, but yes there's always slowdown, the tcpmp thing; its the only program with which you can watch videos cleanly without skipping/slowdown via a2dp.
Darn
I just upgradet from a Magician in the hope that the Samsung would have more Power, but / On my Magician ther ist almost no Slowdown using A2DP.
Are there any aps where I can OC my Samsung?
Sadly My tcpmp skips vids using A2DP . I guess I will only be using my S9 when Joging or Biking.

I'm having these probs on my 8525. No clue how to fix it. Theres a lot of storage and program memmory left on the darn phone. It used to work perfect, but suddenly had problems. The music stutters a lot with both wmp and tcpmp. I'm using the iphono minis with A2DP. These issues never existed with WM5 as far as I know, though the quality was of course lower. Perhaps the processes that up the quality of the [email protected] stream are causing a trade of in CPU/memory consumption. Maybe that means lowering the quality (maybe via a registry tweak) somewhat will alleviate the problem?
I'd recommend switching to a wired headset
I got the same issue with my A2DP headset. It's not an issue that can be fixed with tweaking. A2DP is simply CPU intensive (not memory intensive).
Lowering the bitrate would help, but not enough I'm afraid.
tweaks that help
Hey there,
I had a little trouble with helmi's wm6 (excellent rom) and the original wm5. The following link has some reg tweaks (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=10668). It's still a little gappy, but much better. Also, the sound quality seems to be a lot better.
Hey there!
I've just read all the "improve video performance" threads, but did not found what i am searching.
I've a big video archive on my home server, shared via file sharing and vista media share. So i am able to access all those (mostly) avi files with my laptops and other Multimedia Hardware (XBOX for example).
Now i would like to open the videos on my brand new xperia, too.
I've got the resco file explorer and mapped the network share, so i got the nice folder list of all the videos.
I've installed the most recent coreplayer, and tried out nearly all setting configurations, but i was not able to get a 20 minutes simpsons episode to play without rebuffering every minute. (And it buffers for 10 seconds, that is just horrible).
I've increased the values for buffering to the universe, or tried to set it to zero.. no improvements.
The option "prefer less buffering over framerate" is just freezing the video while the audio runs on.. great.
So.. what are what are your best settings here? Thanks in advance!
I haven't tried this properly myself, but there's a couple of ideas that I'd try if I were you...
Firstly, copy one or two video files to the phone and see how they run off your phone memory. Avi files aren't supported by hardware decoding, so they won't be running at their best in any case, you *might* want to think about re-encoding files you want to watch to .mp4 h264.
The second thing I can think of is playing with the Start > Settings > Connections > Wireless LAN > Power Mode and setting the slider to it's highest. The battery gets pretty warm on it's fullest setting, but I wonder if this would speed up wireless access for the vids.
Oh yes... i already set this to maximum performance... got no speed improvements from this...
i cannot believe that it is a decoding problem, because if the video stops for buffering, i can tap pause twice and it is running on... but just for 3 seconds. not enough buffering i think.
this post was submitted using the x1. gg
copied avi runs without problems...
the same on my x1...network performance is horrible...video streaming is not possible without buffering.
Same thing here
I noticed the same thing with my X1.
I had hoped it would work better than on my old hp6910 which only had b-Wifi, but it doesn't. Its pretty much the same.
so nobody got an idea here? When i am sitting right next to my access point, there is no buffering... great!
ok so ive done quite a bit of searching and cant seem to find the answer. my problem is that i want to take a BRrip with 6 channel audio at 48khz and change it to stereo so it will play on my evo through Rockplayer. i am currently using handbrake and i have gone through almost every combination i can think of to fix it and im having no luck. biggest issue is that the audio gets slowed waaaaayyyyy down and also out of sync bc its so slow. does anyone know what i need to do
May want to try Any Video Converter. I have to use a number of video converters for different tasks... I can't seem to find one "magic bullet" video converter.
