Does anyone else here 'pre-rotate' their video while processing?

When I reformat my Divx's to PPC size, I rotate it as well..
Anyway I cant get any of my divx's to play the right orientation now.... and switching the orientation doesnt work, it does nothing on them... anyone experience this?

Do not 'pre-rotate', and set 'Orientation' to 'Normal' and you'll get a similar display as PMVP, where the video is laid sideways as a preview, and tapping Play will fire up full screen landscape if that's how the vid was encoded.

I always used PocketMVP, too - but I love this new program - smaller, faster, better - One of my new favourites.

I use MVP for music as well. How does Betaplayer do at that?

I pre-rotate, no problems with the output from BetaPlayer... whether it is needed I don't know, but with PocketMVP it used to apparently give slighlty better battery life / lower processor usage to pre-rotate. May not be the case with BetaPlayer.

What orientation do they play for you, and which direction do you rotate them? I rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise, and BetaPlayer manages just fine.

orientation settings are only for fullscreen playback. could you describe what happens exatcly? you could turn off the auto pre-rotate option in settings (this option counter-rotates the pre-rotated video, so it will be invisible to the user if he uses pre-rotated or non pre-rotated videos). but things should work with default settings too. please send a mini sample avi if you still think it's a bug. thanks

pre-rotating videos is still advised (but not neccessary). results in less tearing and a slightly better performance.

I'm stunned

I'm stunned. I've struggled for probably a year trying to get Divx to play properly on my 300mhz X5 Basic. I got so many great tips from people, and reassurances that it "couldn't be PocketMVP...it's a great program". Great program. Right. Sound ALWAYS got out of sync with picture before the end of a movie. It would ALWAYS freeze when I grabbed the time slider and moved to a later or earlier point in a movie. And re-sizing the picture always meant a HUGE hit in performance...more like a slide show than a movie. SAD! No wonder I kept going back to MPEG-1 with PocketTV. It works right every time!

But then there's the BetaPlayer. I converted "Dances with Wolves" from a DVD I captured on my settop Philips DVD recorder using Dr. Divx (240x176 150kbps sound 40kbps 16khz stereo), and it played PERFECTLY. Other Divx files with incorrect resolution were resized PERFECTLY, with no apparent hit to fps rate. BRAVO! AND FREE OF CHARGE!!!!! WOW!!!! I wish for only one change in future versions...the ability to adjust color saturation. Divx files ALWAYS look washed-out in comparison to MPEG-1 on PocketTV on my Axim. That's one of the controls I most appreciate on PocketTV. Add it, and I'm DONE with MPEG-1, because for a given quality level Divx files are so much smaller. I like my color VIVID. So gimme' a color control, and you have a perfect product. For right now it's 99.9999999 percent perfect already. The best damn video player I've used...especially when I overclock my 300mhz Axim to 398.

I take care of my colour saturation during the encoding process. Both VDub and Pocket Divx Encoder both allow for this. I usually add 30% - 40% colour saturation...works well.
