OmX, thanks, I'll run some torture test xvid's on it later today and see how it handles. I swear by PMPmod and use it daily, so it'll take some serious horsepower to impress me. :)

Tell me about it. PMPmod handles any converted movie i can throw at it (except my RCE encoded Dude! Where's My Car? DVD curiously). Definitely looking forward to future developments.

It still had trouble with my torture xvids (Q3 VBR heavy activity), less popping than pmpmod, but still noticeable. So yes, it is faster to a degree, maybe 1-3%. It's nice that it accepts avi straight up and has sleep mode, it'll be interesting to see how it comes along. But for now, I'm sticking with tried and true PMPmod (with malloc's and raphael's fine additions).

@k0nan :
Yeah "Sleep mode" should be a great addition to PMP Mod... jonny, if you hear me ;) ...
But I noticed that the sleep mode of PSPmT is buggy... yeah the video is well resumed but 10 secondes after a loop occured...

@jonny :
I heard that the PMP format of your next version (April one's) is changing... do you add a way to manage natively subtitle in the format .. ?
Do you plan a PMP demuxer for the next release ?
Will be MP3-VBR supported !! ???? :o ;)

Ok ok enough questions, I'm going to hang myself now, sorry for the mess... ;)

Ciao Lads...

@csuper:
I don't know about the Demuxer and VBR, but I would be surprised if jonny put together some subtitle functionality for his next version, esp. since this can be done independant of the file format (and even more so if he read any of my other posts, where I already let out that I'm currently working on subtitles).
I haven't talked to him for quite a long time now, but the last I knew was he was up to more optimizations. He's probably also the only one around here to be capable of that :)

Regarding the sleep mode - it's impossible for now as long as the ME is used, so currently there would only be the option of speed vs. sleep mode.
And I know which one wins for me :)

subs: no
demuxer: no
vbr mp3: yes (and multi audio tracks)

the fastest sandisk should have the same speed of the hd in the next version (at least after some preliminar tests i've made)

jonny · Joined: 22 Sep 2005 Posts: 351

a new version is out

http://jonny.leffe.dnsalias.com/

First of all, the pmp format is changed.
There is a "remuxer" to convert files from the old format to the new one.
The remuxer is a command line application, the easyest way to use it is to drag and drop files over it (the new file will be written in the same dir of the old one, along with the log file containing the result of the conversion).

And now the changes in this version:

- VBR MP3s are now supported
- Multiple audio streams can be used (use "select" to switch audio streams)
- Reading routines are now optimized, the app is fully usable with the harddisk or a slow memstick
- Volume boost (from malloc)
- Fast seek with left/right+cross (from malloc)

Some notes about the reading routines:

Reads are now sequential and asynched.
Users with the fastest sandisk should expect ~0.5 fps gain (the speed gain goes all in the high bitrate scenes, so should be noticeable).
The speed difference between the fastest sandisk and the harddisk is ~0.5 fps.
All the other memsticks are in the middle (for example the standard 32MB Sony memstick is 0.1fps slower than the sandisk).
Performances can be considered aligned now.
The harddisk speed is around 2MB/sec. So, in the worst case, the app can read around 16MBits/sec of video+audios in a "trasparent way" (so, without hitting the general performance).

Thanks Jonny!
I was thinking, since Circle isn't used on the main screen, can it be used to launch PMPs ? (aka, same fuction as X).
Japanese users & I would love you for this!
See you,

In 2.00, can the contrast be changed? Because making the contrast brighter really solves the ghosting problem on my PSP screen. I know Malloc did a mod in the previous version but was it every included in this version?

Quick question, will the old video converters released by others still work if I just replace the old muxer with new one?

Oh, and thanks for the new release :)

jonny just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work, it's people like you that make owning a PSP super cool! keep up the good work dude!!!

Hey that�s surprising, what a nice surprise --- we love you, Jonny !!

Also ask myself about luminance, this is very important.

What does the "Debug Level" value do ???

EDIT: After first testing I confirm, the performance is MUCH better....
Indeed it is even better than PSPlayerMT. I got stuttering only with highest top-level full screen demand and many many scenes working now that did not before. I�m just searching for other scenes stuttering but I know it will be difficult to find such scenes. Absolutely amazing Jonny !!!! Now we are just one step before absolutely ALL PAL fullscreen divx vids can be played perfectly. It is just a little little bit missing. Congrats !! .

is it better if we re-encode our original w/ the new muxer or is it as good as it is if i use the remuxer on my old pmp?

Jonny - thanks for this update and just wanted to thank you for the "remuxer" which is extremely useful for me as I have so far converted 70+ movies in the old format. Would have been a nightmare to of had to redo them from scratch again. Love the porgram and have been using it everyday since your first release.

To take advantage of the VBR MP3 sound should we be now setting Belight as per below? Also does this now minimise the "background" hiss?

Instead of setting bit rate - we select quality.

Thanks again.

jonny · Joined: 22 Sep 2005 Posts: 351

i use the exact same settings used before, but unchecking "Restrict Encoder to Constant Bitrate"
in this way i can control at least the average bitrate
the quality mode could result in a too much higher bitrate
i'll soon do some benchs, i've still not tested how much the mp3 bitrate influence the performace

about the high f. noise, it's still here (you'll be notifyed when/if i'll do something about it)

Great work Johny! 1 question though. What does this mean: "Error: pmp_file_open: invalid tot_size"? I am using a rip of Spaceballs I made that was encoded in VDUB with XviD. :)

Hi Jonny,

First off, I just wanted to let you know what an amazing job you have done. I know this has been said multiple times, but I don't think you know how much your work is appreciated. I commute via train 4 hours a day and I use your program daily. You make my commute a whole lot more enjoyable, and I thank you.

On a completely different note, I was wondering how far do you think you are from having this program be able to resize video. In this way we wouldn't have to encode divx or xvid files we may already have, but in the non compliant size.

That would make rumuxing so much easier, as a lot of the times I spend hours encoding my xvid tv eps just to resize. In either case, this is not a complaint what so ever, just a question. Thank You again!

Jonny you've done it again! Unbelievable, this passed my Q3 VBR torture divx flawlessly without a single audio pop! For the heck of it, I did a head-to-head matchup with the same clip against PSPlayerMT and the difference was night and day (the latter was full of pops and out of sync). You're a genius man, keep up the astounding work!
