@pkjai1:
can you try this:
http://rapidshare.de/files/18309067/pmpmod.rar.html
and tell me what happen
(be sure to put some files on "ms0:/PSP/VIDEO/" - no matter what type of files)
note: if works, at the end you'll need to hold power for 10 secs to power off the psp, there is no exit :)

@all:
is there someone with fw 1.5 us experiencing this strange behaviour (or a correct behaviour)?

@jockyw2001:
tested, the final binary gets stripped at the end, so there is no difference (actually the version without -g was a little bit slower lol)

@excalibur:
the detailed answer to this require a work that i'll be not able to do for some time - i would say that everything is possible given that you have enough time :p

[pkjai1]

Woot! It works!
But it didn't load out.pmp from the demo you told me to try. It's probably because it was muxed in 1.02 format.

-pkjai

Edit: Something interesting happened. The remuxer said that out.pmp is not a valid pmp file.

[jonny]

yep, this is normal.
the pmp in the old demo works only with the demo (the format is changed with pmpmod 1.xx and is changed again with the 2.00).

you should use the remuxer with one of the trailers in the first message of this thread.
(those trailers are encoded for 1.xx)
**EDIT: now 2.xx versions are up**

thank you for the tests!


anyway it's strange, it seems like the home button results always pressed in your psp.
have someone an idea about what could be the cause?
(a behaviour of the 1.5 us firmware or something strange in the pkjai1 psp?)

[Alcahest]

arg jonny, i'd like to help but i got a psp fw 1.0 and it's working perfectly fine on it.
Here's is a rather nice Sony PMP for tests btw (PMP v2.00)

@jonny: why is it that PMP must run in kernel mode? only because it uses the ME or is there more?

/JockyW

[pkjai1]

Hmmm. I don't know. Maybe I should take apart my PSP and clean out the thing. It might work then. For now i guess I will just use the version you gave me without the exit option.
That works pretty good.

Thanks a lot.

-pkjai

[jonny]

in this version home function is replaced with circle
http://rapidshare.de/files/18394788/pmpmod.rar.html
so you can exit

@JockyW:
afaik only due to ME usage

[Zeem]

hello, when im trying to start any program from the official site it says that it misses the
MSVCR71.dll file. What should i do?

[Alcahest]

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/download.php?msvcr71download0UGhSFZLlW
Grab it here ^
Put it in the program folder or c:\windows\system32
Later,

Alcahest

[Zeem]

thanks, but now when i run the pmp_remuxer.exe ( to get 1.xx PMP to 2.00 PMP video) nothing happends more that something black popup closes in less than a half second.

[Alcahest]

you have to drag and drop your PMP 1.0 onto the program icon, then it will be automatically converted to PMP 2.0.
Or you can also use the program in a DOS window.
Later,

Alcahest

[Zeem]

You are the man.

Peace

Hello

Why "select" and "start" buttons don't work in this new version ?
(i.e. to choose video screen size and see time while seeing a video)

I had found these functions very useful ... :-(

And I prefer the 1.2 graphic interface with time and battery indications.

But when coming back into the menu and highlight our last choice is great ...

bye.

Awesome, thank you Jonny!
See you,

First post....I know they don't carry too much weight. Anyway:

First off I just wanted to say thanks to Jonny and the other add-on developers. I love my psp primarily because of pmpmod. Commute? What commute? :)

Secondly: I did manage to get the perl muxer to work on linux. Here's what I did:

First I needed to install the perl vector package. I'm running ubuntu, so it was just:

sudo apt-get install libbit-vector-perl

This should be available with the standard apt repositories.

I'm sure it's handy enough to do this through CPAN also.

Then ffmpeg was generating files that didn't have matching header frame numbers and and actual frame numbers (the difference was 1 frame), so I commented out the lines in the avi_parser.pm file that were causing an exit on this error (lines 601 and 612 in the latest source....search for "number of frames").

Everything then worked. There was an error from the muxer on exit, but the resulting pmp file works like a charm.

Hope this helps someone else out. It puts me one step closer to ditching windows.

[JFox]

OK, now I have a question. I used the demuxer and it worked great. i got two files an avi and an mp3. I used VirtualDubMod and was able to put them together. The problem was I got a 44gig avi file. Luckily I had enough room on my harddrive. I then used this file to make an SP MP4. I am guess what I forgot to do was set a compression in VirtualDubMod before I saved the combined (or is it muxed) avi.

My question is what compression scheme is recommended and what settings to reduce the file size but maintain decent quality?

Thanks.

[jonny]

@Khannie:
actually the modules needed are included:

Carp-Clan-5.3.tar.gz
Bit-Vector-6.4.tar.gz

installing each module is easy:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

(maybe you already know this :)


about the avi problem, seems an ffmpeg bug.
on windows, using a cvs compile (9/9/2005) all seems ok.
i've done some tests like this:

ffmpeg -i vid.avi -vcodec xvid out.avi

and the generated avi seems fine.
(what command line and ffmpeg version are you using?)


you could try to run:

perl pmp_muxer.pl -v video.avi -a audio.mp3 -o out.pmp -d 9

and send me the log file, so i can have more infos.


@JFox:
Video -> Direct stream copy
This will leave the video stream intact.

[JFox]

Thanks for the response, but I don't think this is out of the scope of this thread. The question was in directed towards the demuxer and your recommendation since you would be the one to know what type of file the avi and mp3 was outputted from the demuxer. All other web resources I found work the other way; removing audio.

Anyway, thanks for the answer and the demuxer, I'll give it a try.

[Eingang]

LOL thanks for the demuxer, Jonny...
will test this later.... nice nice ....

how good you see the chances of seeing a plugin to support media players like VLC, Winamp or WMP your PMP files somewhen?

[jonny]

[Khannie]

[Khannie]

Ok, I'm at my linux box now. The actual command line I used was:

[jonny]

maybe the problem is trigged by "-threads 2" (?)
(the log could help me to definitely exclude problems in the muxer)

[Khannie]

Sorry man, I misinterpreted and thought you wanted me to rerun ffmpeg. I've emailed you the log from the muxer in a zip. I sent it to the email address listed on your homepage.

[jonny]

Thank you very much!
Yep, it's for sure an ffmpeg bug, the number of frames in the index differs from the number of frames reported in the header (there is no superindex/OpenDML chunks so there is no escape).

[Khannie]

[therock003]

Has support for fw 1.5 stopped altogether?

[jonny]

i don't understand exactly your question :)
i would say: no
(the real question is, why you ask this?)
