Qtek 8300(sp5m) tcmp problem

[Guest 123412341234]

HI guys, i have a problem with tcmp...I have encoded files using different methods (nero, pocketdivxencoder) with the lowest settings to the highest. I always have the same problem: When in a video, there is a fast action( a car race for ex or bruce lee fighting) there are some kind of lines (horizontal and vertical) that appears for a moment... IT FLICKERS::::

Is it normal? What should i do ?

It sounds like poor interlacing on the original film.

I had the same lines problem from a particular DVD and had to use a de-interlacing filter in VirtualDub to improve the picture. I can't remember the actual filter and settings as it was a some time ago.

There is a de-interlacing option in Pocket DivXEncoder but I don't know how well that one works.

Lots of info about de-interlacing on the net like these.

In case you want to try VirtualDub I posted some info here.

Hope it helps :)

Ok thx very much...Ill try and tell u if this trick works, but the thing is that this problem happens for every vid including original trailers for example that i didnt reencode.

You shouldn't get flickering on all movies :) What model of phone are you using ?

One improvement you can make when encoding is to pre-rotate the movie i.e code to 320x240 and then rotate to 240x320. In TCPMP you can then disable rotation as it's not needed. This should help the playback of movies especially during fast moving scenes :)

In the Virtualdub settings that I posted, I have set the rotation in the Video filters.

I have a qtek 8300 (= imate sp5m) .... I dont understand why its hapning, if i give u a small sample (2-3 mb), could try if you get flickering too?

THANKS: :)

Hmmm, I have no flickering whatsoever on my Qtek 8310. (see my guide how I encode movies)

What phone do you have and which version of TCPMP + plugins are you using?

I'm using:

tcpmp.smartphone.0.71.exe

ffmpeg.smartphone.0.71.exe

ac3.smartphone.0.71.exe

aac.smartphone.0.66.exe

Have you tried playing a small file (a scene that causes flickering) from the memory of your phone?

Maybe it's a problem with your storagecard?

I have a 2gb sandisk installed.

Hi i am using these versions too(soft+plugins)... : I reencoded with all methods : nero-pocketdivxencoder-vdub...........

I played from memory too... I have a 2gb minisd installed correctly..so i dont think thats the problem.

Maybe its a setting problems in tcmp?

what video drivers, dither on or off , buffer options, microdrive(on or off) do you use???

Anyway here's a sample(3mb) where i get full flickering on my qtek 8300.... Try and tell me if it happens on your phone too.

Well, just downloaded the FF-VII file (nice movie to show off :) ) and it runs flawlessly on my 8310.

TCPMP Settings:

Smooth Zoom (only 50%) = On

Dither = Off

Quality = Normal

Video driver = Raw FrameBuffer.

Normal buffer size = 576

Microdrive Mode = Off

Less Rotation tearing (slower) = Off

...BUT...My 8310 is overclocked tho... running at 240 Mhz, allmost forgot about that :)

[Guest 123412341234]

Can you just tell me how to overclock it? I have the ovc.02 file but it doesnt run (I/o map problem or something like dat...)

And with the overclocking, is the battery life reduced?

I'm using Tornado PowerControl with OmapClock utility.

Does it reduce battery life? Yup...probably some, but it's still good enough for me and the speed increase is noticeable.

It's easiest if give me your email address, I'll send you the files (fully configured) and a short discription where to put the files.

If you want to check it out for yourself pls check here:

Can someone send me a sample of one of his encoded sample?
