Cannot play AVI with MVP!!
Hi Guys,
I ordered my Axim online but until I receive it I am still using my good ol' Casio E-125. Now I have tried to convert a full movie using Virtual Dub with the recommended settings on this site. That all worked out just great and on my desktop it played well. I installed an older version op pocket divx player because the MVP-site was down at the time. The film played but with a lot of blocks in the images, prob due to the old version of divx player and the fact I used divx code 5. Now, yesterday I downloaded the MVP player from the official site, the program loads, and I can play MP3's so I guess I installed the right version correctly, but when I open the AVI from my Memory Card, when I press the play button, I get a black screen for a second or two and then my pocket pc switches to the today/settings screen...it seems it automatically closes the program MVP when trying to play my avi... Close, but no cigar...!!!! Any suggestions??? | |||

screen resolution (320x240 or less)
aspect ratio (keep close to original) frame rate (~250fps or less) audio codec used (mp3 works for me) Try to check these for starters. Encodes may be "close", but they will crash PMVP. (as you've seen...) Jeff | ||||

So it is possible that because the settings I used to encode are not the way they should be, it will run on the former pocketdivx player (except the blocks due to codec 5 divx) but MVP will crash on the movie???
I will re-encode tonight and test this...keep you guys informed. | |||

I encoded MI2 with these settings
250 kb/s mp3 layer 15 frames/sec rest of settings like in doc on this site Output file came out as 380 MB, too much for my 256 Mb flashcard. Now I am encoding on 150 kb/s to reduce the size... let's see what happens!!!! | |||

Just curious, databoy, stereo or mono?
I'm looking at 2mb/minute for a minimum goal for movies. At that rate you should get ~2 hours on a 256 card. What is the run time for MIB-2? | ||||

For High quality stuff for me I use this...
192kb 2 pass divx5.0.3 64kb 44khz mono mp3 frame rate 12-15 fps and my files are about 1.9megs / minute Looks great to me... I've done some trailers this way I can upload and demo them if you'd like. | |||

Do you use Original 2 pass vbr? If not your file sizes are going to vary... 2 pass vbr sets a constant bitrate for the entire movie and uses more or less depending on the complexity... the 1 pass methods will produce a bigger file for about the same quality.

I got the same thing happen on my Axim last night. It was the first time i had used and hadn't installed any previous pocketDivX player. The screen went black and the previous program i was using appeared. I had to perform a soft reset in order to get out of pocketmvp.
let me know if you find a way round it. | |||

I rigorously followed all the steps in the manual on this site, except for the 2x 2pass method, got some .dll error msg when starting the 2 pending jobs, so I tried 1 pass, came out with a file of about 130 Mb so this should do it, it fit well on my 256 CFlash.
When trying to play the file on my pda, I get a black screen for an instant and then I return to my Start/Program Files screen... When I scroll the bar under the video I can see each frame, so ... Don't know what to do | |||

I used Precise Bicubic (A=-1.00) as mentionned in the manual, also tried some of the other settings in this list...
don't know what to do, gettings pretty desperate, a year ago i encoded many movies and they worked fine with divx 4 and the old pocket divx player, now with divx 5 and the new player and can't seem to get it work damn | |||
