i am currently trying to play my xvid movies with my axim, thru a vga adapter onto a monitor. now redoing all the files is not an option- i have hundreds of movies in standard res for 1024x768 or whatever. i also generally play them from my micro-drive (and yes that setting's checked) but the problem i keep having is a slight choppiness during playback, even when the ax screen is off. in power settings, it's set for max. performance.

first off, would switching to CorePlayer solve this problem? has the codec been re-done?

second, what settings would be best for this application?

thanks in advance.

do you have the Intel 2700G Decoder as your Video output driver?

I find that TCPMP takes to much cpu on large res files, I would re encode to 640x480 or 320x240.

that's what i meant by re-doing al the files not being an option.. 100's of vids.

and yes, 2700G is driver

How are you turning the screen off? Are you holding the power button, then hitting the record button?

screen off, yes- what is holding the power button and hitting record doing? i think that turns on the "mirror mode"

No, you turn on Mirror Mode when you check the box to enable Mirror Mode. Holding the power button down, then hitting the record button, turns the touchscreen off, which should probably clear up your the choppiness. Just turning the display off is different than turning the touchscreen off. Try enabling Mirrror Mode, then start your movie in TCPMP, then hold the power button down, and hit the record button. The screen should turn off, but your movie will continue to play.

holy crap dude.. i cannot believe i hadn't tried that in the past.. it works great. come to think of it, isn't that what it says to do just after you activate mirror mode? lol.. that's really funny.. RTFM! thx dude. i appreciate it
