All the best

J.

Does anyone know if a HQ audio build of the standard PMP Mod (2.02) was ever created? thanks

No hurry here either. I went back to divx pmp's. I get 220fps encoding speed for divx vs 40fps encoding speed for AVC. 5x the speed > watching vids in the XMB. :)

uNn99,

Any chance we could get a quick update of your great app to allow for MP4 AVC output for 3.03 OE-B? Many thanks for your app, it's been a lifesaver.

yawoo,

AVItoPMP contains patched versions of mencoder (for all CPUs) that output pmp-compatible AVC, it's a great program for conversion. Check it here[/url]

Did anyone have any luck on recompiling mencoder.exe with the modified x264 library for compatability with PMP AVC?

I prefer mencoder for encoding on machines which I can't install codecs (needed for AVS scripts/Vdub) or .net framework (xvid4psp) on.

jonny, Very impressed with 2.01, excellent work! The nice OSD works great, the mods are no longer needed. And no silly transparency needed for me, I'm perfectly happy. With regards to your comments about ME/2.0+, just out of curiousity, does this mean that sleep mode might be available in the future...

jonny wrote:there is still the 44100hz audio conversion step :(

jonny I can't say how excited I am about the premise of no longer having to resize the video. I wouldn't worry about converting 48k to 44.1k hz as that only takes mere seconds in mencoder.

Jonny you've done it again! Unbelievable, this passed my Q3 VBR torture divx flawlessly without a single audio pop! For the heck of it, I did a head-to-head matchup with the same clip against PSPlayerMT and the difference was night and day (the latter was full of pops and out of sync). You're a geni...

It still had trouble with my torture xvids (Q3 VBR heavy activity), less popping than pmpmod, but still noticeable. So yes, it is faster to a degree, maybe 1-3%. It's nice that it accepts avi straight up and has sleep mode, it'll be interesting to see how it comes along. But for now, I'm sticking wi...

OmX, thanks, I'll run some torture test xvid's on it later today and see how it handles. I swear by PMPmod and use it daily, so it'll take some serious horsepower to impress me. :)

Looks like he just released a new version on 3/20 here but I can't for the life of me figure out how to download it. PSPupdates also removed their d/l link from the author's request. Google & babelfish aren't helping. Can anyone find it?

I've experienced the same HF-background noise that Eingang has, in fact, I'm surprised it's not reported more often. As far as I'm aware, it has nothing to do with either PMPmod nor any video codec. It seems to be inherent with AC3 audio sources when converted to 2-channel cbr mp3. I've been able to...

Great app uNn! In your next update, could you add a shutdown after conversion checkbox? I've been manually adding "shutdown -s" to the bat file, but if I edit the bat within the program, it will append "pause" at the end, so the string comes out "shutdown -spause" and d...

This happened at application start-up both times, 4 pmp's in my video directory.

Now that I think of it, I did use UMD Emu for the first time in months yesterday both times before the problem occured, I have an inkling that this was related.

Twice yesterday when I started PMP M4g3, it just showed a blank blue screen and locked the PSP (reminded me of the dreaded Windows BSOD). I had to do a full power-down/restart. Hadn't happened before, hasn't happened since. Just figured I'd mention it, but it might just be my PSP/memstick acting bug...

Jonny, please do not forget that we have still that sound issue with that beep and noise in background... would be really nice to get good audio quality ! I used to encounter what you describe or something similar (a slight but constant ring noise in the background) when converting from an AC3 audi...

Although it would've been better to suggest this about 30 pages back, what does anyone think about possibly starting a seperate thread for all PMP -encoding- discussion? (edit - argandona takes credit for originally making this suggestion, and oddly enough, suggesting it 30 pages ago) Since the bulk...

jonny Great job on the update!! I've already noticed that PMPs that had audio stuttering with the previous versions now play stutter-free! Many thanks!! wooolF Great work on the guide! I'll have to look at it more in-depth tomorrow. I see you've chosen 1300 as your king, I thought after your Matrix...

xxxstarmanxxx Had you tried using the unsharp=l3x3:1:c3x3:1 command when using libavc? Also, it's good that point out you used the "Libavc Divx codec", as referring to it as just "divx" the way the mencoder front-ends do (Winmenc, PSP Simple, etc), is somewhat of a misnomer. Sin...

miemt11 It was difficult to tell the difference between your 3 Smallville samples. Because the vrate was so low, artifacting was consistent in all of them. I'll agree that we can set lower standards for TV encodes, but I still prefer watching my shows w/o artifacts. :) xxxstarmanxxx Great work on t...

Thanks for your suggested settings for the Blade trailer - I'm trying them out now on an episode of Lost to see how it looks with a DivX source. I converted this week's Lost (xvid source), nothing fancy just 2-pass divx (lavc to be precise) in Winmenc, 900kpbs, vhq, lancoz, 280MBs, quality was A+ e...

Fxp - 272>256, so you're streching the vertical by not keeping the aspect ratio intact. 608x256 should be rescaled to 480x200 to keep the proper AR, you can then zoom later on in playback to your preference using malloc's mod. Try PSPMPverter .9.1, it has a great AR calculator. jo2k - he wouldn't wa...

I'll wait for more people to report... if there are no problems, I'll make a tutorial. =) Until now I'll fiddle with it some more =) The scene plays flawless! Perfect audio throughout. I'm using raphael's GUI for malloc's M4 of jonny's PMP 1.01 (try saying that 3 times fast). The WMP background &am...

This encode produces NO audio/frame issues at all - It looks like all my problems (and a few others) were with the CPU hungry Xvid codec! From my findings, I completely agree. I've done 1500kpbs or quant-3 encodes in divx and libavc with no audio issues whatsoever. xvid encodes of the same source a...

malloc, Great work on the recent updates (jonny too!). Small request, could you map a button in your next release to exit the current video without creating a POS file? I run lots of short clips (battle scenes from Matrix, Star Wars, Predator, Conan, etc, nice stuff to show off with PMP Mod :) thoug...

wooolF , Stick with the PMP version you have now if it's older. malloc's latest revision (M3) with the nice interface is the one with the increased xvid audio issues unfortunately. If you could do an un-sharpened encode at the either of the high levels (1200 or quant2), that would be great, thx. hy...

wooolF, What version of PMP Mod are you using? malloc's latest modification (M3) to jonny's player was discovered to have increased audio popping issues when playing back high bitrate xvid (he's working on revising the code, see his thread for further info). I have yet to encounter any audio popping...

2) Yes, as you don't have to resize it (reencode). You're still forced to reencode by just applying the crop (this might have been implied in your response, I wasn't sure). Since any reencode will sacrifice some quality from the original, it might be a wash as to whether the crop output quality wou...

wooolF & yawoo, Have either of you tried the zoom features in malloc's latest mod (M3)? If the black bars are inherent in your source, I'm not sure how well it would work. But simply for zooming 4:3 video to fill 480x272 (by sacrificing a bit of the vertical picture), it works really well. I jus...

I can also confirm the ticking/popping on my own 900kpbs xvid encodes, I'm going to test the earlier mods to determine whether it's only related to M3. (edit - I was previously running 1100kbps divx files with no problem, so this may be an xvid-only issue.) malloc, great work on the mods! I think th...
