Guest bobbyb Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 hi all The problem i have is with video capture. it captures video at a slower rate then audio so when it's played back the sound is out of sync. does anyone else have this problem? any help? T-Mobile said to exchange it which i did twice. but the problem's still there cheers MDA Compact rom ver 1.01.00 wwe 1.01.128 rom date 10/21/04
Guest fallwood Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 Had the same prob on my c500, it seems to happen when capturing using mpeg4, works ok with avi but the filesizes are huuuge. Capturing at the smallest size helps butits still out of sync. I thought a 400 mhz processor would be able to handle the mpeg4 compression but apparently it doesnt. Cant beleive no one else has experienced this problem, effects all the c500 and mda compacts ive seen.
Guest bobbyb Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 thanks mate. i thought it wasn't just my phone i've exchanged it twice t-moblie just keep telling me to get another phone! ah well hopefully there'll be a fix.
Guest MitchellO Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 My XDA II Mini seems to have fine video capture, with the sound in sync. I am using the MPEG4 codec. Would be something you have running in the background.
Guest bobbyb Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 yeah i thought that but there's nothing runnung in the background. it's out of sync when recording with mpeg4 and avi.
Guest MitchellO Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 What I would suggest it a hard reset (I know, it is hard....) and then try that camera. That way you can see if it is the device or possibly some conflicting software. If it works fine, install your progs one by one to discover the culprit. Good Luck!
Guest bobbyb Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 cheers mate i tried that but still the same problem. i'll have to exchange it again!
Guest MitchellO Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Maybe it is a problem with the MDA Compacts ROM. Something TMobile did to it, as I have an o2 XDA II Mini and haven't (touch wood) had problems with out-of-sync capture. Good luck with 4th unit!?!
Guest bobbyb Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 oh yeah i never thought of that i assumed they were built the same but they're not are they. think i'll have another word with t-mobile
Guest fallwood Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Just one last thing i forgot to mention, are you capturing to your storage card or internal memory, i find that capturing to storage card can give poor performance (depends how fast your sd card is), i capture to main memory then move it over.
Guest MitchellO Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 I capture to SD card typically (a Sandisk 1Gb standard card). No complaints. The audio is so crap i typically turn it off, but when i have it on it is fine, although a bit crap. Nice video though!
Guest bobbyb Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 yeah it's going to the internal memory. i think the problem lies with t-mobile cos i ve just exchanged the phone again!! but the problem's still there. don't know what to do!
Guest MitchellO Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 As I said, it could be the tmobile rom. Is there anyway to load an MDA Compact with the rom from another Magician device (eg. XDA II Mini, JAM)? That might fix the problem.
Guest bobbyb Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 (edited) yeah that might be an idea i'll need to find out some how. anyone esle with any ideas? cheers Edited March 24, 2005 by bobbyb
Guest rmg Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) bump <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try a debrand, Hard reset + Soft reset, to get rid of all the TM crap, and then try it, See http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...ebrand+t+mobile Edited March 29, 2005 by rmg
Guest mike-oh Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) I have slight audio sync problems too, i have the t-mobile ROM. But what's even worse is the vertical tearing which is dreadful! :evil: (See attachment of monster trucking fun). I was saveing to my SD card but it's a pretty fast one (as posted in the SD card thread) All this following a recent (un volentary) hard reset.

Guest monty1 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 [ All this following a recent (un volentary) hard reset. Mike what caused you to hard reset . I have the T mobile Rom and have had to reset a couple of times recentley due to the phone losing GSM and locking up !
Guest mike-oh Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Funnily enough i was using the camera at the time. I think i was messing around with those photo templates, the screen went white and I had to reset it. When it came around it brought up the calibration screen - it had hard reset :D
Guest MitchellO Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 http://www.modaco.com/Tip_on_setting_up_yo...ni-t203317.html Give this a try. Install only what you need. Saves you HEAPs of RAM, speeds up the device and may fix your problem.
Guest MitchellO Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 What a great RC Car! And the quality of that video looks great!.... except for that AWFUL tearing :D
Guest mike-oh Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 What a great RC Car! And the quality of that video looks great!.... except for that AWFUL tearing :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It'l reach 40mph in a straight line! I'd like to say it was mine, but it belongs to a friend of mine (seeing controling it in the vid). The tearing in that clip was particularly bad, most other clips suffer, but not usually to that extenct.
Guest bobbyb Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Try a debrand, Hard reset + Soft reset, to get rid of all the TM crap, and then try it, See http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...ebrand+t+mobile <{POST_SNAPBACK}> cheers i'll try that
