it not working for me

[hedphlegm]

It works for me, sort of. I was able to play a 16MB 480x272 "mpeg-1 muxed" (.mpg) xbox 360 trailer for Test Drive that I dl'ed from Gamespot.com.

The image quality was UNBELIEVABLE. Looked even better than it does when viewed at the same size on my 23" Apple Cinema Display: color saturation, sharpness, etc, actually better than UMD video. Problem was, it was choppy as hell, and the audio tended to drop out at various parts.

Thinking that this might have been due to either the particular video format, the audio format, or the high 1600KB/s bitrate (especially the latter), I extracted the video only and played that back- still unacceptably choppy. Then I used ffmpegx to dither the trailer down to 800, and 450 KB/s bitrate. I saw an improvement at 450 but it was still choppy, with image quality about normal for a non-avc video at that bitrate.

Then I tried some divx files, these being reported to be compatible with the player. I used an 8MB sample clip of Final Fantasy: Advent Children, was was included in a package I have containing a 700MB rip of that movie. I was please to see that it played, and with sound, but it too was very choppy. Finally, I dithered that down to 450KB/s and allthough the video ran at about 80% the normal framerate, audio wasn't synced and kept dropping out, though its audio quality was good.

All tests were done with the 333MHZ setting from a mem stick. Some people claim that certain formats work better than others, and certain movies of the same format and bitrate differ greatly in their playback quality. If I do any more tests, it will be with XVID or .WMV (windows media) files, the latter being reported to play the smoothest.

Based on my exerience I would say that this early (0.2 or 0.02) version
shows great promise, and within a couple more versions I don't see why we can't have nearly flawless playback surpassing what both AVC and firmware 1.5 users are currently seeing on their PSPs. This should be possible especially in light of the fact that the PMP package does not utilize the best codecs currently available for the supported video formats. I can't wait for a version containing the h.264 codec!



For those who cannot get it to work at all, just remember to put the movies in PSP/VIDEO , not PSP/GAME/PMP or in MP_ROOT.

Overall I recommend this little app as worthy of a tinkerer's time to play around with a bit, though for now it falls well short of fulfilling the top of the 1.5 PSP videophile's christmas wish list.

(Hey, I ended up writing a mini-review)

You put this in the game folder like all the other hombrew right.

this is excellent and is wat ive been looking for in along time, only prob is the files ive tried seem to have no sound.
i used a mpeg which was encoded in divx i think, great quality,ran fine but no sound.
an avc mp4 which lookd fine, ran choppy but had no sound.
an mp4 for the 1.5 firmware codec wateva, ran fine,not choppy but no sound.
and finally an quick time movie which started but then just crashed and was horribly pixelated.

anyway well done so far its excellent!! just hope the bugs get sorted quickly

i get sound when i encode the sound in mp3 and the video in divx. Now it seems to play fine at full speed at 333mhz, but the sound quality is terrible, psp speakers make crackling noise. This is the same from bitrate 64 through to 192. The video does look good though, we just need some slight speed improvements and a sound fix and this will be good. Im really not sure why the psp scene isnt spending more time on this. Because it really is needed.

well i cnat get thim to work cude soem 1 post a sample file may be im lodign the file roung

The mod has been updated:

"Jonny has released a new mod for PSP Media Player, version 0.02, based on on the PSP Media Player by JiniCho, JockyW and gaeko99. PSP Media Player is a media player which is capable of playing AVI (DivX)/OGG/WMA files, especially DivX AVI files at 480x272 full resolution of the PSP. Changes in this release include:

– The idct is now done with the me too. On a row basis, idcts are done at the same time of macroblocks decoding and motion compensation. The remaining idcts are processed with both the cpu and the me.
– I'm still experimenting different idct scheduling schemes (me sync is far from perfection). The cache is a real nightmare when using the me.

Some numbers with my usual test clips:
– avcodec_decode_video is passed from ~32fps to ~44fps
– Video only is around 28-30fps (playing without any kind of sync seems quite smooth, sadly PMP seems to stutters a lot - i have to investigate on this)."


Great to see this getting updated, I hope this get's periodic releases in the future :D I've attached the player and added a 1.0 firmware ready eboot as well, for those with 1.0 firmware or just want to change the eboot graphics to something nice like Pochi's work.

Edit: Forgot to include the file and now I get an error message when I try to upload it.. Will try again later today :(
Another edit: Tried multiple times but I always get "Zero sized reply" error for some reason. I don't know the original source but here is a link to download it at the much hated pspupdates.com (http://files.pspupdates.qj.net/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,1,0,0,18,1773).
Enjoy and please report your experiences.

Hi there,

New to the forum...

I was using this software as well and I get very big files... I think it is because the output display size I am using is too big. What size do you use?

Thanks

[Chewieshmoo]

I can run the interface, I go to the videos folder but nothing is listed even though I have working .AVI files in there?????????????

:confused:
