HD movie on Omnia

[Guest StarVision]

Okay~I have to say that i am a little bit lame and try this ~

Firstly of all , i tried a wmv file , 2mins , 1080p,180MB. Coreplayer does not support that ,so i open it with WMP. It can play for a few seconds , and WMP told me that not enough storage~

Then , i tried another MKV file , HDTV format on COreplayer. It cannot open it , but it gave me a promt saying that it cannot play video with frame height more than 1008 pix.

Lastly , i played a complete movie with frame height of 640, which is a VGA resolution. It totally works~It can play so smoothly and clearly.

I do not have 720P or 720i here, but i believe that there is no problem playing it~Anyone can try it for me ?

However, from all these message, we can easily see that it can obiviously play 720P~Cheer for the great CPU~

Daft question, but why would you want to play High Definition content on a 240x400 screen, anyway?

Yea I agree, what's the point at running something at 1080x1920 on a 240x400? First of all it's just a waste of space on your storage and it will run like a hobo. Just downscale it using tmpenc or something!

The kinda of clearity is really much better than the exact screen size one~

Simplicity and convenience.

Not all people are learned and adept at transcoding video.

Also, it's just damn convenient to simply transfer something over and play it without having to wait hours to resize and transcode.

As for space, if you have a big storage card, that might not be much of an issue, especially if you delete the media after watching it.

All that said, I wouldn't do what he's doing... ever. There are too many problems to trip over, as he's experiencing.

My solution is to use Orb (a streaming media server), which transcodes on the fly, and makes my entire media library (video and music) available anywhere I have a cell signal without having to download anything. Orb resizes and transcodes on the fly appropriate for the target device.

Anything I do take local on the Omnia I transcode first to appropriate format size. Biggest problem with oversize video is performance.
