I just dled the codec, and I must say Great job, works great! Thanks alot!~

I'd be interested in learning more about how I can convert vids using an implementation of the H.264 AVC codec for a device with a 200 MHz processor and QVGA screen if possible.

I realize there are 1-click solutions available, but I'd like to get my hands a little dirty with a few profiles and apps that allow for various configurations. Can you recommend any starting points? It seems as if MeGUI might be a bit over my head at this point, and I'm afraid that it may want to install all sorts of codecs that may confict with my ffdshow settings, but I could be wrong about that. Thanks....

Try Super its pretty straight forward and lets you do a few modifications. I like it and its free.

I haven't noticed any significant benefits to using h.264 over Xvid at bitrates of about 900 kbps and the x51v is much more efficient with XviD due to the intel 2700g. what kind of results are you getting at your bitrates.

oh man.... with a 200MHz processor i wouldn't try h264 (i have a qtek s200 OCed to 260MHz and still lags like crap)

See, now that's strange. Some claim it's definitely possible with the right codec (not the ffmpeg plugin). Also, I guess you to use the right profile - one that has most of the advanced features of AVC turned off to ease up on the required CPU cycles.

Do you have the CoreAVC plugin, or are you using ffmpeg for your decoder with TCPMP?

I wouldn't recommend h.264 on anything lega than a 400-500MHz processor myself - I had CoreAVC on an Athlon 1200 desktop, and it STILL lagged on videos. With QVGA, I'd suggest turning off b-frames and CABAC in order to avoid a slideshow.

The h.264 codec takes a lot of CPU to decode - the CoreAVC plugin just means it won't take as many as FFMPEG would... But even with full power on an x51v, h.264 at 524x236 can become a slideshow with b-frames on.

The best way to convert your DVDs into H264 encodes optimized for your PDA is to use "StaxRip" and when setting the resolution, set it to "anamorphic" and select the first value to about 320-380 pixels and set the quality to 50% and the profile to HQ-INSANE. Image Quality with these settings is awesome on my Axim X50v. DivX and XviD were replaced by this new awesome codec. Go and try it out!

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

>> for example, The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King (which has about 3:15hrs) was shrinked to approximately 300MB file, whilst maintaining awecome quality!"

First off... let me say that this is incredible. I can watch movies on my PDA, wahoo!!! So... here are a couple of questions after my first several attempts...

Using TCPMP. H264+AAC on a Dell Axim X50v....... I downloaded DVD decrypter and am using that to rip the DVD following the instructions on this link... http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...light=tutorial

Once the DVD was ripped, I used AutoGordianKnot to encode it (don't know if I'm saying that part right). I did The Matrix, and found out that I had selected the wrong audio (the one that included the directors comments), but the movie turned out great. Everything worked, and the .avi file was 475 MB. Oh... and this was done on an NFTS file system computer, so when it was ripped, only 1 file.

Next DVD was The Prestige. Using the same programs... but on a FAT32 file system, I followed the same procedure to make this .avi file. The result was a little different... the sound is 1 second off when I play it on my PDA. Is there any way to fix this, or did I make some type of mistake when encoding it? This file was also 475 MB.

The third attempt was using the same files for The Prestige when decrypted by the DVD Decrypter. I used StaxRip to encode it, but somehow there is no audio in the file now. The file is only 120 megs and runs equally to that of the previous one, but what did I do wrong? Well... there were actually several files inside of the folder, so maybe I wasn't running the correct one.
VTS_02_PGC_01_1_EncoderOutput.264 (141MB)-- plays the movie without the sound.
VTS_02_PGC_01_1.mkv (207MB)-- freezes my PDA when trying to play

I love the smaller size and all, but I would like to be able to hear it as well. :P

Please let me know any better settings with the newer version of StaxRip that will help me, especially when doing it on a FAT32 system. I am trying StaxRip on The Godfather right now on the NFTS file computer right now, but it is very slow... like 5 hours.

Also, need to know if there is anything like settings or what not that will help me sync the sound to the picture better.

LOVE YOU GUYS.. <3 Thanks for all the great help and postings.

Anybody have problems with sound not aligning correctly to the video? Any fixes?

Is it the final video that is like that, or is it the player on my pda?

Thanx a Bbbillion to "JohnMadDoe_CZ", the AVC _ aka H.264 Plugin cab file you created for TCPMP work wonderfully on my Cingular 8525.

Many, Many thanx to this forum.

I just tried a vid I encoded using a Profile for apple Tv on the New Coreplayer and it would not play it smootly, but the bitrate is a bit large about 2500, I'm on a Axim 51V

Also make sure you check out http://www.aximsite.com/boards/appli...avc-bible.html ;)

Unit ZER0 · 12-27-07, 12:49 PM

You can find them in my Master Codec Installer, Found Here:http://www.aximsite.com/boards/multi...ecs-tcpmp.html

Enjoy!

g e · 02-06-08, 05:42 PM

As explained here (for iPAQ but works with Axim as well) you could try the ffmpeg plugin from here. Work for me on my x51 - a bit slow tho.

Campitor · 11-06-08, 07:16 PM

Thanks "JohnMadDoe_CZ" for the cab file. I've been going crazy trying to get an ipod movie to play properly on my Axim X30 and TCPMP. It plays very well. I first tried to use the ffmpg codec for tcpmp, but that didn't work. Your codec pack did the trick. Thx a lot.

hi :, i use axim x50v and have tcpmp 0.70 installed with the h264 codec from "JohnMadDoe_CZ". But i still get the video codec not supoorted by player ( but audio does) message. need advice :(
