Whitey31 Guest | Hi Everyone
I have just bought a 256mb Sumvision MP4 player and after a few hours of playing about with it I have to say that it seems to be a strange mix of a really cool bit of kit, crossed with bits that really let it down, so I have a couple of questions!!
Firstly, the recording from TV - I have hooked it up and it seems to work as described and to be honest with you i’m very impressed with the picture quality. However, when I record to the SD card all is well, but when I record to the onboard 256mb of memory, the picture is really jerky and is not watchable at all. If you switch back to storing on the SD card, its perfect...whats all that about??!
And secondly the audio quality when recording from the TV is terrible...does anyone know how to increase the quality?? I’ve looked but I cant see any settings to do it and it makes the function pretty much useless seeing as you cant really tell what people are saying cos the quality is so bad!!
Any help much appreciated! :-)

GeorgeUK Guest | Whitey31: I have the Sumvision player. When you record from AV it records audio at 8KHz. If you set the “AUDIO SET” to 8KHz before playing a file recorded from AV it sounds better but still not great.

David Beoulve Guest | Irish, thank you for all the advice. I’ve read every page and know these things now:
1) Don’t upgrade the firmware. I counted over half a dozen people with dead PMP’s because of this.
2) Encode video files to VOB and then encode using the included software.
3) Make sure to encode the VOB to the right resolution.
4) Recording PS2 games is cool. Shadow of the Colossus anyone??
5) Make sure to edit your pictures BEFORE sending them or they will squish and distort.
6) Don’t upgrade the firmware.
7) Don’t upgrade the firmware.
8) No matter what PMP you THINK you have, don’t upgrade the firmware.

David Beoulve Guest | Grrr ... it hates Macromedia Fireworks, which I love due to its batch processing ... what image editors do you all use to do JPG files for your PMPs?

David Beoulve Guest | Any way to change the brightness on these things? They wash out the images I do manage to upload by some miracle. (Wish I could edit)

David Beoulve Guest | Question guys, what is the battery life of your PMP? Mine lasts 4-5 hours, which I think sucks.
Worse off, the LCD (which never turns off, ever) generates enough RF interfearance that I can hear an audible “Znnnnnnnng” on any headphones. Do you all hear that? That blows.
This pretty much means, along with the difficulty of uploading pictures, making playlists (rename your MP3’s) and so on, these devices suck and blow.
Comments welcome. I just fail to see how these devices are any good, even for $100.

Thanks for the reply, i had already seen your post previously.
I don’t wish to “upgrade” the firmware, but there are tools for other mp3/mp4 players on this forum. So what i wanted was a tool to extract my own firmware, to see where the games are and what format they are in, in the hope of adding more games to my mp4 device.
I also wished to organise the mp3 storage more effectively i.e. have selectable grouped folders for each type of music or band etc, instead of all mp3’s in the one place listed alphabetically.
I did try adding some games myself directly to the nanoflash. I tried Java and simbian version of Yahtzee in various locations. I even made folders with various names i.e. Games/Accessory etc, then added the game into that. All to no avail though!
I am convinced that other games or applications can be added but i just don’t know how yet? I did wonder whether the only way was to first delete a game or app that i don’t want, before being able to add another. Obviously the only way to do that would be via the firmware.
Yes, i know that messing with the firmware is not recommended, but if anyone has any better idea, then i am willing to listen!
4) Recording PS2 games is cool. Shadow of the Colossus anyone??
I assume by recording, you are mearly recording a game in progress as opposed to actually recording the PS2 game files onto the PMP?
With regards battery life, mine lasts much longer than 4-5 hours. I would say mine lasts for about 8 hours? Playing video’s is the biggest drain on battery life obviously. As for the noise, there is a very slight noise on mine but it is VERY slight to the extent that i don’t notice it.
I am so impressed with this device, but these few niggles really let it down. It would’ve been so much better if we could add games/apps just like adding mp3’s etc, along with better organising of MP3’s and video’s. Ahh well, i await all of your responses with bated breath!

That would be very cool; however, I don’t know of any such software.
Apparently our PMP/MP4 players are manufactured by different companies, with some similar chipsets (the sun-something, it’s in the manual) — which is why upgrading the firmware is the kiss of death. How can you know you have the right firmware code for the right chips in your PMP? Difficult given there’s not so much as a serial number.
I’m subscribed to this thread so please post if you find any software but — my thinking is that these things are rather limited. I’m going to research the ZEN and other things to see which ones are most moddable and... (sighs) save up.

I don’t. But that is my point to finding the software to extract the firmware from the PMP to enable the customisation before reloading the firmware back again.
That would be extremely difficult i guess. Having said that i did find an .xml file on the PMP itself, (enable “show hiiden files and folders” from windows folder view options) which has a series of numbers, which may well be a serial code for each player?

mits Guest | hey everyone, i got one of those players a couple of days ago and i’m too looking for a way to make pmp-readable asf files without using the pmp transcoding tool...
i used several codecs, but none gave me undistorted picture, and i think i also didn’t get sound in any of my attempts
i got interesting results with divx 4.0.2, where the picture at times made some sense, but it was heavily distorted...
also, with xvid, the keyframes were perfect, but the rest was nothing like the original (pure distortion)
divx 4.x should be compatible with the sunplus tool’s codec (it mentions divx4 in the transcoding log too)
could it be that stream mapping is the problem? (as irish nerd club mentioned)
there must be a way to remap the streams... does anyone have any ideas about this?
