Movie Won't Play, Aaahhh!!!!!

[Evangelion]

:huh: I'm sorry if this has been covered b4 as I know the vast majority of "new" questions that come up are usually somewhere on this forum, but.....I searched, googled, and still could not find the answer I was looking for.

I got my Ninja Scroll down to 112 MB (I know it's still big but that's the best I could do), using the settings I found on the european site someone listed here, it was a vcard file to use with VDub. I have another movie, Donnie Darko, that I got down to about 108 MB and that wont play either. Everything else I play is just 20-30 MB ea so no probs there. :unsure:

Is it just that the the GP32 can't play anything over 100 MB? If so, anyone know how I can tweak the settings in VDub even more to reduce the file sizes I've got?

Any help is always appreciated

I don't have a gp32_console to make sure it works, but download the configuration settings here. That might help you out.

Thanks for the reply man.

That's the config file I'm using now, and it works wonders. I just can't get the big files (over 100 MB) to play.

hmmm.... would it be a huge pain in the butt to split the show into 2 50mb files? otherwise you could try lowering the bitrate a little (not sure what it is currently)

I can play files over 100mb fine. Make sure you are waiting long enough for it to start. It can take 30 seconds or so to start playing a big file. There has also been talk of big files being corrupted by GPlink. How are you transferring the files to smc? I personally use GPdrive and have no problems.

U know, now that u mention it BaDToaD, I have had some problems when deleting these files off my SMC where it's told me the file was bad or corrupted. I do use GPdrive (rocks!) and have no probs getting it onto the card but..... <_<

hmmm, I'll try splitting it up and see if that works. As is, the bitrate is 21kbps for video at 14fps, and 17kbps for audio ::bleh:: but it still looks really nice on the LCD At least, when it plays :lol:
