I thought my X51v was godlike and the Intel 2700g chip could much down any video easily until I popped in my anime at 1.5 MB/s. I found that I max out at 700-720ish kb/s and therefore giving me only 40-50% performance. The video is choppy and sometimes even freezes for a few second. The sound plays normally though. How about the experiences with these large videos? I'm kinda disappointed.

is your processor set to max?

   

maybe your memory card doesnt support that high of a transfer speed? or maybe the axim doesnt

Is it supose to be set to max? Mine is on auto and I also see some pausing or slowness a few times during a movie.

Thus you shouldnt be maxing out at 700kb/s ish, the X51v's GFX chip is godlike compared to the 4705's gfx chip. (not saying the 4705's chip is bad, just saying the Axim's chip is better)

Card is A-Data 2 GB SD 150x.
Processor set at max, though when playing such movies, even if you put it on auto, the speed will be 624 Mhz.

Maybe it is the different file compression?

This the the benchmark results:

Just out of curiosity - what codec are you using - (File -> Media Info)

You SHOULD be using "MPEG4 DivX/XviD". If it says 'ffdshow' or something else then that is probably the reason. (because not all codecs in TCPMP are optimized)

With a pretty cheap extremememory 1GB SD card I get 132.58% speed with a 7.0Mbit/sec (yes, 7) avi file of 640x480 resolution.

Give a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Tested another video - 720 x 480. Its the codec, not the bitrate.

Thank you puntloos for pointing that out and now I'm relatively happy. But what am I going to do with all the anime?! Recode I guess..

Sadly TCPMP uses its non-optimal codec for the fairly common older 'divx 3' codec hack. So yes, you'll probably have to recode at least those.

I just started using TCPMP to watch 640x480 resolution anime and movies and it worked fine with out getting choppy video. I am doing this over a wireless network with a 4mb buffer set.
