SPV C550 - WMP limitations

[Guest MiG:uK]

Well, upon looking in the smartphones registry, i stumbled upon codec settings for windows media player.. at it is restricted to..

max fps of 15

max data rate of 168kbps

max resolution of 160 x 120

Well.. i kinda changed the reg settings to the following:

max fps 30

max data rate 768kbps

max res 320 x 240.

And it jumps to buggery...

any ideas why ?

that was with a 325kbps video. im gonna play some more and report the results.

well upon playing with wmp 10, i was unable to create a 30fps file with 96kpbs audio that would even play smoothly.

to me, this is unnacceptable, since beta player / TCMPCP can play this type of file, yet WMP cant.

I would be good if it could, since i would have a nice library off all my videos, and cud switch to music instantaneously, and use the buttons on the front of the phone.

maybe i set the max fps to low ? i mean the video is 30fps and max is 30.

Ill experiment see if putting 60fps changes anything. ;)

Experiment over:

Just seems that WMP 10 just doesnt like high quality video. its a shame, since the WMV is a lot smaller than DivX for quality, and becuase of the phones built-in capability to play WMV.

I think WMP10 has to many restrictions to make it a decent video player, just like pvplayer.

I have converted my video files with the use of: Windows Media Encoder.

Using the wizzard's profile: "WM8 Video for DSL/Cable Delivery (250Kbps, 320x240, 30fps)"

Works Perfectly...

No sync issues in video/audio either.

EDIT: Video for broadband PAL (768 Kbps) is better full screen ;)
