Irish Nerd Club Guest | Finn, its the chip thats built into the players, its pretty particular about the video bitrate, codec and audio frequency, thats why we have to use this conversion program, it would be very rare to find another program that could swap streams, output in that specialised video format and put the audio on that format as standard, but the pmp conversion tool was built for the sunplus chip in these players

Finn Guest | Irish Nerd Club:
Thanks for your advice. You seem to be the kind of person that could tell me a good video splitter capable of splitting an ordinary avi file... I agree with Philthy and splitting the files would be a handy.
Thanks, once again!

Irish Nerd Club Guest | i presume your trying to split say an avi into little chunks, hmmm a free one i dont know but i have had a good experience with this product :
http://www.doeasier.org/splitter/
i had an old version and it worked well

Finn Guest | Thanks... I’ll check it out.

Finn Guest | That program is really good, I was suprised at how quik it took to split a movie! Thanks for you advice.
| |

Irish Nerd Club Guest | no probs, i like to see that the new version is as good as the old

Finn Guest | Hey, I also noticed if you split the video before you transcode it, it actually gives better results (size)! Not much difference but worth doing!
| |
| 22 Apr 2006 04:34 am |
Irish Nerd Club Guest | really, wow,
note:
if you want to keep videos small you should first make them 320x240 resolution before using the pmp tool, the pmp tool doesnt change the video resolution !!! and the screens on these players are only 320x240 so no point leaving your videos at other resolution
| |
| 23 Apr 2006 09:35 am |
Finn Guest | That is really interesting, I always assumed that the size would half because the resolution is halving... (most of my videos are 640:480) Yeh, hmm, then what program should I use to make it 320:240??? It’ll make it more time-consuming to convert now! Thanks for the help!
| |

Irish Nerd Club Guest | well the pmp transcoding tool doesnt change the resolution,
hmmm, for mpeg files you can use a free program called TMPGE, as for most other files windows movie maker is pretty good

Philthy Guest | Sorry guys been away for a while.
I use VirtualDub/NANDub to split the AVI into smaller chunks - works a treat and is very fast.
Somebody else commented on the metallic/tinny sound on movies... while I was away, I stumbled across the (sort of) solution. It happened that one of the movie chunks was doing that distorted sound thing and I missed some dialogue. I did a quick rewind and replayed it and the sound was OK. DId this a few times and I found I could fairly easily get it to start going tinny and a quick reqind flick of a few seconds would correct that problem.
Now if anybody had a solution to the problem of randomised playback order I’d be thinking this device is perfect!

Finn Guest | I also noticed that! Sometimes when you start a video in the pmp, the sound is all distorted but then if you pause it and unpause it, it sounds fine. This has onlu happened to me about three times though. Wierd!
| |
| 24 Apr 2006 08:05 am |
Irish Nerd Club Guest | this is because of the ram in the pmp units, it is much faster than the storage and chooses to buffer video before audio, this leads to the audio being tinny or distorted, its to do with the build of the player
| |
| 24 Apr 2006 10:53 am |
Finn Guest | Is there anyway to change the background, (behind the icons)?? Even if its not through the players options?
| |
| 24 Apr 2006 11:54 am |
Irish Nerd Club Guest | there is a font editor and a flash editor available, you can change almost all the appearance, the only place ive seen this program is in a file called ak4.zip, but i dont have it anymore
| |
| 24 Apr 2006 01:34 pm |
Finn Guest | What would I look for in google if i wanted a program that could change the player? That would be really neat...
| |
| 24 Apr 2006 02:07 pm |
Irish Nerd Club Guest | i have found the file, it was hiding on an old dat tape of mine, anyway, give me your email address and ill send it to you, be warned, you can seriously mess up your player if you dont know what your doing, i havent used this nor tried it so be warned
