Well, I don't know what to tell you, that encode works on my PSP, I'm not lying lol. Maybe MediaCoder is bugging out somehow. Why don't you (or someone else) try those commands and see if it works...? MediaCoder 0.7.0, PSP Phat 5.00 M33-6 - see my second post for the MediaCoder preset/profile attatchment.
ZiNgA BuRgA Wrote:B-frames aren't limited by level. And the slowdown has linear complexity, so I find it odd that you don't experience much of a slowdown.
No idea... maybe because it's only a 1-minute video I just don't notice it. Or it's another bug XD lol. Either way, I'm not going to go above 8 anymore.
ZiNgA BuRgA Wrote:It does work, but some parts of the video will be "choppy". Hard to explain, but at times, it looks like the video has been chipped at various places.
I think I know what you mean. The PSP isn't powerful enough to decode it so it 'lags' or drops frames or tears? Well, it's funny because I've read a lot of PSP x264 guides and tutorials online, and they all include b-pyramid parameter... but maybe with 640x480 res the PSP might screw up after a while. Oh, I also have the CPU Modulator plugin, so it might be clocking above 222 to keep speed...? Will have to install PSP-HUD (which shows CPU usage) and test it. Or does CPU clock not make a difference for video playback (dedicated H.264/AVC decoder chip)?

Lol, I remember you disagreeing with me in the last thread. I'm uploading the resulting video to mediafire, if you check it's properties you'll see that its in 640x480 resolution, and it plays in widescreen on both the PSP and PC. I spent hours getting this trick to work with MediaCoder ;) Here - ~7MB PSP-compatible AVC video, 640x480, anamorphic -

No, that's not the case. It's most likely your decoder, or perhaps some filter you're putting through the encoder.
Yup, sorry, I had saturation lowered in FFDShow. *Facepalm*

Default is fine. x264 auto-compensates for higher bitrate. Stick to defaults unless you really have some need to fiddle with them.
Well, I noticed that things could be a liiiiiitle bit "sharper". I thought that was just a result of the comrpession though, things seem a little blury. What would you (or Assassinator) recommend for a modestly-subtle "finer detail" if possible...?
