Okay.. Now I'm Getting Very Sad

Im just wondering why no one is complaining that the gp2x cant do what gph said it could.

On their website somewhere gph said you could put stuff on it with higher resolution and the gp2x could play it back without the need to re-encode. I thought 'wow' this is amazing! This is another great reason to get a gp2x!!!

Well my 640X480 vids just freeze after a good 3minutes or so. My 320X240 work fine [mind you these ones are re-encoded.]

They are all xvid. Some are divx but you get the point. I just hope with future firmware updates the 'plop and play' method comes in handy. it takes 25minutes for me to convert to 320X240 since I use first/second pass. [virtual dub]

Tv-out function is pretty neat though. This is a nice feature.

I encoded a couple of movies and simpsons/futurama episodes straight from dvd - I used 512x384 XviD MPEG4 compression and they worked perfectly on the gp2x.

I used DVD-Decrypter_3.5.4.0 to rip the video from dvd and then wacked them through PocketDivX Encoder to XviD them for gp2x... Quick and easy, and the quality is fantastic...

Not sure why you are having problems...

Do you guys encode in such high resolutions becasue of the hope of
one day viewing that video on a TV?
I take everything down to a 344x258 in PocketDivxEncoder
to save a little bit on filesize... and you still get a good picture.

yea, I tested my video on a tv with my TV-OUT Cable , worked a treat!

Well you might as well go 320*240 as its the res that any file will display on the gp2x screen anyway, it actually allows oyu slightly higher quality and requres less cpu power to decode it.

40 min show hdtv quality 350mb run perfect on 1.2, so it does resize them.

I am 90% sure it is not HD, or else it is the most pixely HD ever. I will go further to guess the show is Lost.


As for Clarky, if your videos are in 320x240 then you are WAY overencoding.

Hmm... I had similar problems with video, but have overcome that. I have always had FW 2.0.0 (I've had this thing about 4 days now.) Because the power went out right after I opened the package >_< But thankfully I had put FW2 on an SD card so I did that first... I'll try these techniques next time I run into video errors, but I have an even worse problem:

EVERYTHING on my GP2x has a skip now and then. Like I said, I've always had FW2, so I don't know if this is the issue or if it's something else? Does anyone have any suggestions? Because it happens in everything from fishyNES to the built-in MP3 player.

Thanks
