Hi Jonny, thanks for your great work done so far, the PMP 2.01 is a evolution, while the PMP AVC is a rebirth to my PSP.

One more thing I'm asking for is.... Could you please kindly add a "play all" capability to play all files in the PSP/Video folder? (if this does not induce a lot of work to do)I'm asking for this is becasue I have a lot of MVs and I'm tooooo lazy to select the next file after 5 minutes.....

hi jonny and magik, very good job...
do you think it s possible to patch an avc stream produce by another program than x264 ( for exemple nero.. ) for make it compatible with pmpmod avc..
thank for your reponse.;..

the new avc version is up on my site:

@dytcs:
atm i'm not interested in adding this option

@excalibur:
there are many variables involved (i'm not going to check so i can't give an exact answer)

Very, very fast work indeed :D Currently running that FFXIII trailer in endless loop. Did you use the line you suggested on page 36?

On the encoding side, I've requested the maker of Mediacoder, a very promising GUI mostly built around mencoder that previously supported PMP Mod, to do PMP Mod AVC encodes. He said he was going to support this. Perhaps you could contact him to help him out with it? Of course, a new build of PSPEnc would also be great.

Mediacoder very promising indeed. little buggy,rapid updates.
Is there a simple decoder gui(like Mediacoder,xvid4psp,avi2pmp and so) that suppurt the new pmp avc?
i mean someting that work (not xvid4psp).

I have a big problem guys...when PMP first came out I enconded 25 movies from Divx/Xvid source to .pmp(v1) format...the new V2 PMP Mod player does not play my old v1. pmp files...And PMP Mod AVC doesn't play any of my v1-files either..my dilema:

1. Do I encode my Divx/Xvicd Movies to AVC(will there be a difference in quaitly? or file size?) or do I encode my DVDs to the new X264 format?

2. How do I make my V1 .pmp encoded movies work on MPM Mod AVC?

3. Do I need two players in my Psp one for AVC files and one for "old" 2.xx pmp files

Thank you!

many of us encoded tons of movies in pmp2 and now reencoding to avc would be a pain.... many wait for a comfortable gui supporting this avc codec.... vdub support would be nice ....

Hi Shonen, here is the FFXIII trailer with more sat (1.4 was OK).
I raised the volume a little and audio is now vbr.
Sorry for the delay ^^;

Edit: And another great encode! (i think)

Sure, for FFXIII i used

Directshowsource("e3.wmv")
killaudio
lanczosresize(480, 272)
Tweak(sat=1.4)
converttoyv12()

with x264 --bitrate 1500 -A all --level 3 --pictiming --aud --no-psnr --thread-input --progress --output test.264 test.avs

the audio part was done with EAC + Lame alt--vbr-new
Later,

Hey jonny, ive got a small question about the current version. I know that you have modified the x264 exe to add in the addition information for it to be played on the psp. My question is that, is the modification easy enough to be done to new versions of the x264 encoder, so we can use newer optimizations of the encoder or things like that whenever they come out?

hi,
@ jonny :
you have introduce the pmp contianer for pb of sutturing and desync but with the new speed of pmpmod avc perhaps a avi version support is possible..?
@ psp ,magik,jonny :
you have patch x264 avc stream for it can be play by the hardware.. yesterday i have ask the question to jonny if the stream can be patch after it was created ( for use nero , or other avc encoder). in fact my reflexion is that the hardware play normal avc in down resolution with the internaly player ,so it s possible it can be play 480x272 normal avc?
i sure it s very hard to make it but you have already make more hard...
very very good job
and thank for your time....

As this topic went too long, maybe there is a similar HOWTO in the previous pages...

Step 0: setting-up (once, only):
- install perl, Bit-Vector and Carp-Clan packages;
- unrar pmp_muxer_avc_1_00_source.rar;
- .tar.gz files can be safely deleted;
- convert DOS line-endings to Unix-ones; I've used zip 1.zip *; unzip -a 1.zip; rm 1.zip;
- put the following as a first line in both perl scripts:

I used vdub mod with avisynth, jonnys x264, the patched dll and it worked great. No Problems so far. Just installed the x264 codec and exchanged the exe and dll with jonnys patched version.

still no modded mencoder for x264 working with pmp avc? cooleyes?

@jonny:

I have made mencoder work well!
I found mencoder will make a blank frame when duplicate frame,
just those blank frames make it not work.

so we should use this option " -vf harddup"
just like
D:\3GPMP_Converter>mencoder -nosound -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=512 -vf scale=480:272,harddup -o test.avi 1.avi

OK, this is a mencoder bin release , which have patched.

Testing Mencoder with Mediacoder. Also trying to driectly use pmp_muxer_avc with that program. MEncoder seems slower than x264 for me (about twice).

Alcahast, thanks a bunch for those Final Fantasy trailers ^_^ How can you decode WMV? When I input it via Directshowsource I always get crap. Codec is the libavcodec, perhaps that's the problem. Anyway, videos look fantastic, almost like a PS3 in the palm of my hands.

Also, what would you do to transcode software decoded HD (for instance SVQ3 MOV)? The problem is that the decoding phase is resource-intensive, resulting in choppy framerates at the output.

Edit: When addressing the muxer, the muxer returns "odd number of arguments".

cooleyes
Could you compile mencoder with cpu optimization (build for AMD, P4 and P3)?
Thanks beforehand.

cooleyes · Joined: 18 May 2006 Posts: 125

OK
I build them.

@cooleyes & uNn99:

mencoder can be also compiled with runtime cpu detection, do you think there is a big speed difference compared to specific builds?
