Guest kevlar Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Again, this program is amazing. I'm getting great results with it. As regards my previous post about having to use 16mhz audio, I've found out how to select 11.025 or whatever it is, but I get an error in audio stream then. It works fine at 16khz so I'll stick to that. One question, is there any way to navigate a movie that I'm missing? If not, do you plan to add this feature to future versions? cheers fo a great app Kevlar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akarno Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 After having lots of problems, I have now got this working. The problem was with the framerate (mentioned earlier in this thread). On VirtualDub you must go into the Video/Framerate option and set decimate to either 2 or 3 whichever gets your frame rate to around 10 frames / seconds. Then it works fine. Looking forward to the next version. Question, why couldn't Microsoft get a video player this good to show off their new phone with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Speedy Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I am glad all of you are having success with using this and i wanne get there too :) I am still stuck in the virtualdub tutorial, at step 9. I do not have the option to select divx5.02 (no divx at all) Does anybody know why, i have tried to figure it out but without luck, can ya help?

Guest akarno Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 You need to install the Divx 5.02 codec. Try searching for divx 5.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaknife2000 Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hi ya. I have encoded a file, as per the instructions on this thread. Using Virtual dub. EXACTLY as the 15 step english version of the intructions says. I copy to my phone, and rename the file all ok. BUT, when i play the file, the audio works perfectly, but i get no picture what so ever. When i click the action button and it pauses i see a still exactly where it got stopped, and if i click the action button againm it starts for 1 second, then freezes the video again. I am using the divx codec 5.02. My test file is the Tenacious D - Tribute, music video, its original form was an mpg. Within Virtualdub, it previews fine, and on my PC i can play the file perfectly, all be it smaller and rotated. Is it an issue with the original data ? or the encoding ? or infact is it the player ? I have got a file called "test2.avi" from the Smartphony website, and renamed it to test.avi, and that plays both audio and video perfectly. Any advice ? Should i try encoding an avi, to a divx ? rather than an mpg ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stillwaiting Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I've managed to get as far as jaknife in so far as getting audio but no picture, but i'm now also getting a larger frame size on the spv even though it plays back on the pc at the smaller frame size. I like everyone else await the next version of your masterful Divx player. Just hearing the audio alone beats the w/media player hands down, so i expect great things from the video playback. I think it could quite easily match or may even surpass the demo of the samsung smartphone we had on this forum a while ago. In the meantime i shall endeavour to get this version working properly for me as it has for others. Many thanks for your selfless work, its very much appreciated. P.S. I have followed the steps correctly, any help as always greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better than my FULLSCREEN (not quite :wink: ) method! Cheers Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaknife2000 Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Thank Casper, works lovely now. Just a minor missing fact there, that should have been in the 15 step guide, an addition i think that would be necessary. It completely froze on me, half way through the file when playing back, but that could just be the alpha version of the program. But it DID play quite well until it did freeze, and need a battery pull. Thanks for you help. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Henrik25 Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 It works amazing. Thanks a lot. I have a 25 fps movie, and i divided the framerate with 2. Now it runs smooooooth in fullscreen. so cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Oh I forgot to say,... when you've added the "resize" filter, set the "filter mode" to "precise bicubic (a=-1.00)", as it looks a damn site better. Especially text titles, credits etc. And if your source is interlaced (unusual, but will be if it's DV or something), put a "deinterlace, blend fields" filter at the top of the list.

Guest mashkhan Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 fantastic bit of software! Can't wait for the next version. Now if I only had a bigger SD card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stillwaiting Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Thanks Casper & Arkano for the tip, i've finally managed to get a picture but i'm still having trouble getting the thing to resize to the 176x220 frame size. I've tried rotating, resizing, precise bicubic(a=-1.00), etc, but the finished video file still plays as if it should be playing on a bigger screen. I have to say it is so much better than the w/media player Full marks to the programmer who spent time converting this Divx Player for the SPV. Once again any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Guest akarno Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 the finished video file still plays as if it should be playing on a bigger screen. What exactly do you mean by this bit. Is the video rotated by 90 degrees. Are you loosing parts of the image. If you press the # key it zooms the image. It seems to write this somewhere so next time you go in you are still zoomed. Try pressing the # key to see if that fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coolcatshaft Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 I've tried everything but can't get it to work PocketDivX starts up fine, but when i try loading the file all i get is a black screen and it appears to freeze. No sound, no picture. i've left it for a good 5 minutes, but doesn't go any further. The phone doesn't freeze though, and i can go back to the homescreen anytime i want. Not sure whether its my phone, or the files i've encoded using VirtualDub. Can anyone post a small file that works for them that i can download and try? Cheers for any help.

Guest malloc Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 PocketDivx ALPHA 03 has been released : http://9eek.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2342 Now features a file selector, and a seek in movie function :) enjoy ! malloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akarno Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Hi malloc, thanks for the new release. One question. How do you get seek to work. I try pressing 1 and 3 but nothing happens. Do you have to set up something on the avi file. Is it something to do with the Chapter option on the menu, which does not seem to do anything.
