great job

I can play 360 videos with my sam flex :)

Simultaneously ?

@pseudaxos

Maybe 360p not 360

@LiveForIt

Yes with Sam 440 Flex 360p.
I'm looking the last video from Rival Sons.
And It's GREAT.

Wowwwwwww

Great Job

@RIBDEVIL

360p is not that bad, I hope you can do 480p soon

My findings: (found my previous post...)

I made test with DVD::RIP and generated 360p+64kbitMP3audio videos (950kbit stream, .avi container) out of DVDs, using mpeg4 codec and ffmpeg. (full movie to about 700MB file)

Those play 100% speed on my 667Mhz PPC440 (with mplayer), using 70% of the CPU. And IMHO, the quality is good enough for my eyes & ears.

I think I have found my default video format. (just need to check that it plays ok also via usb port of a TV (testedOK) and my photoframe (not tested yet), on default android2.2 phone player those did not play, need to get another player there)

(for kids movies without superb graphics I used some 240p resolution and also that looks good and CPU usage is around 50%, this I plan to use for VHS preservation. One day I must see what 060/50 can play.)

(at the same time PPC440 has trouble playing mpeg2 DVDs from disk or from HDD. Full resolution DVD .vod file from HDD takes 100% of CPU and does a little frame skipping. Mplayer manages to keep sound+video in sync anyway. Perhaps mpeg2 "decoder" for AOS4 is terribly outdated???)

UPDATE: to be more clear about DVD playback. Directly from DVD the result is not usable. From HDD situation is better but frame skip happens. I need to get now more up-to-date player and recheck mplayer settings as I think I recently got more video+audio outsync than before (with vod files).

@KimmoK

If you haven't already consider buying DVPlayer, it's really very good and written specifically for AOS 4. What it does and how it does it works really well. If I watch some movie in AOS 4 and it works with DVPlayer I always use it first because of the quality. Just a tip. I like MPlayer as well but there are no version that are without issues just yet.

@hotrod

Almost all software has some issues or some thing that can be better.

Many bugs and problems has been reported has been fixed:

Problems that has not been reported has not been fixed, because I can't fix problems I don't know about.

DvPlayer is nice player, DvPlayer its optimized for DVD playback, but you can use mplayer to play DVD's as well, My impression is that DvPlayer does not support as many video formats as MPlayer.

I'm shore Stephen Fellner will be happy if people support him and buy DvPlayer.
