I'm trying to play some video files (MP4, H264+AAC) without success. First I started testing files with resolution 848x480, but it played really slow. Then lowered the resolution to 700x400, and it is still very slow.
After some searching I read how to improve video playback performance using "-ao oss -vo omapfb" options in mplayer. Tested an still it's very slow (even with 800 MHz CPU speed).
Continued searching and found an application called "omapfbplay" that is supposed to play 720p files fullscreen in the Beagleboard (same CPU than the Pandora) using NEON FPU, so...
1. Is omapfbplay available for the Pandora?
2. Is omapfbplay the same as using mplayer -vf omapfb?
3. Anybody has done video playback tests on the Pandora? What are the optimal settings to encode a video maximizing video resolution and quality? Should I forget H264?
I expected better performance in video playback. I can play H264+AAC MP4 files with 480x272 resolution in my PSP with a CPU speed of 111 MHz and playback is flawless!
Edit: I forgot to add also mplayer crashes with some MP4 files...
