Yeah the fact that MPEG4 AVC is locked at 768kbps max on 303OE-B is the reason why i'll stick to PMP, which gives incredibly better image quality here.

Well I just finished watching my first pmp file @ bitrate 1300 and boy does it look sweet :-). Big thanks to the authors for this, pmp avc is great! I did notice a subtle continuous zooming background sound when I played my file, and was wondering what the cause of it could be. I used belight 0.21 and besweet 1.5b31 to create a vbr 192 abr mp3 file straight from the dvd vob files. I used pmp_muxer_avc_tk.exe to mux the files together. The background sound can't be heard when I play the mp3 file on my pc.

I tried running my own file @ 222 Mhz using raphaels subtitle version but the zooming is still there. I'm talking about a very subtle sound here, you can only here it when music and speech on a movie fall pretty much silent. But still, it's annoying when it's audible.
on a sidenote: wow, awesome battery life @ 120 Mhz... :-)

Jonny, would you be willing to upload the build with hq mp3 enabled again to mega upload? it's no longer available...
I'd like to see if it solves my audio problem. Thanks for creating the best video tools ever!

Question about PMP format for Jonny...
-- PMPmod Xvid classic ---

I've got an idea, it is the way the PMP format can be managed...
Actually you used a new container (a different one from mp4) for the video/audio parts... I've got this maybe very stupid idea : an external pmp patern file (50-60k) made by the parsing of the video and audio file on the PC that got the synch parameters between audio et video frames.
You will have on the PSP :
- pattern.file.pmp
- Video.file.avi (for example)
- AUdio.file.mp3 (for example)
or
- pattern.file.pmp
- VideoAudio-untouched.file.avi (for example)

The software will be uploading, in the EDRAM PSP memory, the pattern file then just have to read the exact location (video/audio with a multi-threading way of doing that)...

Is it stupid ?

Csuper.

Ps : not related... Jonny what do you think of the unlocked by a "famous" CW of the AVC 480... res ? ;)

(Happy new year by the way)

to jonny:

can you make a new pmpmuxer, mux a avi(x264) and a aac into a pmp-avc?

I figured that this thread was mostly for discussing pmp avc features and changes and not so much for error reports, so I posted this question in a separate thread a couple days ago. didn't get much response yet. does anyone know what I can do to solve this:

25 fps material doesn't give any problems. 29,97 fps material does though. x264.exe gives me the following error message when reaching 100%:

http://www.megaupload.com/en/?d=3L14SBJ6

I can still mux the .264 file with an audio source at this point and all seems to turn out ok, but when I play the pmp file with pmp avc 1.02 I have a green flickering bar at the left of my screen about 25 pixels wide.

I use similar scripts for 25 fps and 29.97 fps material (of course with adjusted cropping and d2v files for each source). this is it:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DVD2AVI_NIC\System\DGDecode.DLL")
MPEG2Source("D:\backup.d2v")
Crop(92,64,-92,-62)
Lanczos4resize(480, 272)
Sharpen(0.4)
Tweak(sat=1.3, bright=15, cont=1.0)
ConvertToYV12()

the command line that I use with x264.exe is:
x264 --bitrate 1100 -A all --level 3 --pictiming --aud --no-psnr --thread-input --progress --output movie.264 movie.avs

I was just curious, is there a PMPMod v2.02 that supports restore. I have been using Malocs PMPMod 2.0 and got spoiled. All of the 2.02 Mods I have seen don't have resume.

I have also done a search for this and came to no answer. Any help would be appreciated.

Just to let you know: I did some further tries to get 202M working, starting from a scratch 202 version. For some reason, it always starts to crash on playback when I insert the resume file code, though the same code works in the AVC version and it even crashes when I don't use a resume file at all. It really makes my head hurt and I don't know what to do about it apart from removing the resume file functionality :(
Will take a lot of time and nerves to debug that line per line.

@ColinZeal
1. so many functions and so little buttons :-) i dont think it is so necessary but I will try something
2. good idea. maybe I add: press UP when first video in the filelist is selected and the focus (selected video) will be now on the last bottom video. (I hope you know what I mean. :-) Its hard to translate that)
3. subfolder... it is possible...
4. this one is already on my list, I have started and its in progress but it wont be so easy

1) I�d say changing the MHz is way too easy without noticing it. It just needs a tap on the shoulder buttons which could happen just when moving the PSP. And it could kill the battery time. If there was one feature that i�d change, it would be this.

2) Looping, yes, get it. It helps but it�s still slow to scroll thru the files. And the 8GB memory sticks are getting cheaper. ;)

4) It was inevitable that you hadn�t had one of these ideas already. I�m glad you did!

Again, great work. Thanks again Madrusco!

I didn't think about that really when I implemented the CPU speed change function :) I always keep my fingers away from the shoulder buttons unless I need them. But well, that could be changed easily if a free button combination is available.

The scrolling speed can be adjusted to some extent by changing the update_delay values to something lower within the scroll button press events.

Supporting subfolders in the video list would be possible rather easily. You'd need to patch the opendir.c file to not remove directory entries as well as the ".." (go to parent directory). Then inside the pmpmod.c main file, when X/O is pressed and the item selected is a dir/.. (needs a function to check that - there's one inside the opendir function) instead of trying to play that file do a chdir and update the filelist.

If you have problems with that madruscoe, just let me know. I'm too busy atm to do it myself :/

@Raphael
I am a bit busy too but as I will have some time I will continue with the directory support. I use the same steps you have written and if I fail I let you know :-)

the best combo seems to me this: hold R trigger and press L to change the cpu speed (loop)

Hi, This post is very informative, however I would like some specific information. If someone can help me then please send me a private message. Best Regards,

@ColinZeal
1. done. hold R trigger and press L
2. hope it scrolls now faster
3. because of the directory support, one folder for .pos and .png files could contain duplicit files...
4. done. now you can browse the whole ms0:

(v1.02M-K, rar, 1.1 MB)
http://rapidshare.com/files/17936859/pmpmodavc102M-K_sub.rar or http://mihd.net/d1i75m or http://www.filefactory.com/file/a33eab/.
