I've just been experimenting with encoding a Futurama episode for my recently bought GP2X and when playing back the video it seems to randomly freeze. It takes a while to happen, sometimes 5 minutes othertimes 15 minutes.
I'll be able to access the play menu by pressing Y but it does nothing, for example i'll move the selection to the eject button to return to the video bit but nothing will happen.
Are there certain encoding settings which cause it to freeze up?
I've been encoding using Divx 6.2.5 and XviD 1.1.0. Video bitrate of 250kbps and 64kbit mono audio. (320x240)
Divx settings:
GMC and QPel are disabled.
Insane quality.
Bidirectional coding: Adaptive multiple consecutive.
Max keyframe interval: 250. (source is 25fps)
Quantitization: H.263 optimised.
Psychovisual enhancements: Off.
Everything else at their defaults.
I've been using Virtualdub to encode the episodes. I encoded them as CBR and VBR (multiple passes). I've so far used the save and normal battery modes, i'm currently playing them back using the full mode. But, because of the low bitrate it should work fine with both of those shouldn't it?
EDIT: After trying "FULL" mode with the XviD 2 pass VBR version it played through the entire episode, is it possible it's running out of buffer with the lower battery modes? Has anyone else encoded low bitrate videos and used the save or normal battery modes?
