Great I'll test it out ! Could you explain what exactly we are looking at ? :D

I'm able to encode with a Pentium D 830 here at work, so I can test how it fares on the dual-core systems.

Thanks to all the programmers making our PSP-addict lives so much more enjoyable ! Shout-outs to the PMP "Modders" !!

2: add 160x120, 368X208 and 400x192 resolution
3: Add high quality encoding option
4: minor fix ...

I tried the new version on a different PC (same os: Windows XP SP2 Dutch), it still gave the error. "Het systeem kan het opgegeven bestand niet vinden" is Dutch for "The system can't locate the appropriate file", I translated it the last time.

Just wondering if there is a PMP Player for the PC.

Just to see how good the quality is on my PC and to see if things like subs work through different encoders and such.

I'm currently using the WinEnc 5.X Beta and it does everything great (encode, hard sub, batch mode, and other setting changes.)

I just need to find a way to reduce file size. I got a 1.4 gig movie down to 800 mb by lowering the frames to 23 fps and lowering the audio to 96 kbps but I still want it smaller. Like around 500 mb. Guess i'll keep trying different settings.

I have been making more probes. With some films, adjusting "Target quantizer" setting instead of "Target bitrate" setting, I have got lower size pmp files, but they have audiojumping.

I have uploaded Jarhead trailer. It works perfect on MS and almost perfect on Datel HDD.

NO QPEL
NO B-VOP

After much experimentation I thought I'd share my curent mencoder settings that I'm most pleased with so far.
Nearly all of these have been discovered by others in this thread (full credit to them), I've just collected them all in one place (and in some cases found the mencoder equivalents of virtualdub options).

These settings achieve:

- Scaling using Lanczos algorithm for sharpness. [-sws 9]
- Disable "no data" frames (to prevent 'frame size can't be 0' error). [-vf harddup]
- Widest motion search. [vhq]
- Disable B-frames (In my opinion, the most reliable way to prevent audio-stuttering). [-xvidencopts max_bframes=0]

Here is an example (using 2-pass encoding):

mencoder source.avi -sws 9 -vf harddup,scale=480:272 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1:vhq=4:turbo:max_bframes=0 -af resample=44100:0:2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -of rawaudio -o target_PMP.mp3

mencoder source.avi -sws 9 -vf harddup,scale=480:272 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=2:vhq=4:bitrate=768:max_bframes=0 -nosound -o target_PMP.avi

Hope this is useful! I'd like to hear any other options people are using too!

I also have a batch-file that allows multiple videos to be encoded in one go and muxed, let me know if you want it and I'll post it up.

<dbl>

dbl · Post by **dbl** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 2:23 am

Oh also, I forgot in my previous post, I've also found mp3gain (http://mp3gain.sf.net) to be very useful for normalizing the mp3 audio (making it louder) without causing distortion.

The command line I use for this is:
mp3gain /c /r /s s target_PMP.mp3
(The '/s s' switch is essential to keep the mp3 compatible with pmp_muxer).

Again, hope that helps.

Phuncz · Post by **Phuncz** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 2:40 am

I converted the new Family Guy and American Dad episodes from avi to pmp format, both are very good quality and skipfree with PMP Simple 0.02 using the 128kbit/512kbit encoding and High Quality enabled. Though one problem: the American Dad episode seemed to reset everytime I paused with [] and resumed with X. The Family Guy episode didn't do this. I have watched a movie before these two and used the pauze/unpauze without this problem.

Fantastic work is going on here. It won't take long before PMP will become the most popular of all homebrew with an easy to use muxing/reencoding program !

winmenc 0.5x beta is great ! (extreme quality and fast)

but i didnt succeeded in encoding directly with the program a dvd into a .pmp file (maybe it is too long)

i tried many ways of encoding and winmenc last version all in one is to me the best

i have a question if someone can answer (i am noob with resolutions) , so if i have a FULLSCREEN xvid , is 480x272 the good resolution for pmp ?

thanks a lot all

No, 480x272 is the original PSP resolution, with an aspect ratio of 16:9 (the screen is 16/16th long and 9/16th high). The correct resolution would be 360x270, which is 4:3. But you can just choose 360x272, it doesn't mather that much (2 pixels).

I successfully created a .pmp of _Gattaca_ using virtualdubmod (to resize & crop the video, transcode to lower bitrate, AND demux the audio) and PMP muxer and it looks and sounds great. I don't get the blite/sweet thing. I used the "export .wav" function of virtualdubmod, which saves the audio (have to change extension to .mp3) and used dbpoweramp to change sampling frequency to 44.1 from 48. Transcoded video with no audio and used pmp_mux to combine the files. Worked well, and even at a mere 350kbps the video looks quite good.

What I'd love is a mod of pspenc where you can choose either mp4 or pmp. I downloaded the videora but I really like the interface of PSPEnc, much more configurable--no need to create "profiles".

Great work Jonny.

As for .ogg, the non-Mod PMP plays them (though not well).

jonny · Post by **jonny** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 7:03 am

i'd like to adapt PSPEnc to pmp, but it's really a too big job right now
(actually i'm using an old app i've made, "Enc", i usually do some size prediction tests and after a fixed quant encode - but the target of this app is really restricted to skilled avisynth/vdub users)

Hello there,

Like everyone here in the forum I am very grateful that this application is finally out for everyone to use. It totally breathed new life to my PSP.

Just wanted to ask everyone though if you are having issues successfully converting VOB to PMP with out the audio interference or breakups that happen when the bitrate is too high. I am having a hard time judging how high or low the bitrate is for my ripped vobs.

This is not an issue at all for any of the multimedia files that are already made into divx or xvid just (eg. fansubbed anime)

I have tried all kinds of programs to convert vob to pmp. It works ok on my computer and the audio sounds nice but when transferred to a PSP the audio crackles a lot.

THis happens to most of my VOB, please advise if there is anything I can to alleviate or resolve this issue.

I value all your opinions.

Thanks
ren1010

Eingang · Post by **Eingang** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 11:00 am

@Malloc and @Jonny

Since VideoraPMPConverter is here, I would like to make a request for you geniusses !

Could one of you please implement a resize option that resizes the video into the following aspect ratios:

1:2,4
1:2,35
1:1,85
1:1,78
1:1,33

???????????????

So you could just crop and encode the vobs/mpgs into 480x272 and set to correct size with pmp-player......so we could theoretically with 16:9 and even 4:3 get even a better quality, cause full resolution would be compressed to a smaller size..... what do you think ?? Would this be hard to do ?

Next step maybe would be a "Aspect-Bit" that could be setted with the muxer, which is read by pmp-player and sets the movie to this AR automatically. OMG I would love this feature.... Never ever recalculate ....

@Jonnyy
btw any progress in detecting the cause for sound bug ?

Theelise · Post by **Theelise** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 11:50 am

^^?

Well reading from a zip (or any other additional form of compression, rar tar etc) isn't gonna save you much space at all? Mpeg 4 is already a compressed container so zipping it up is not gonna save you any additional space, coz to be honest it cant really be compressed any more than it already is in Mpeg4?

Try it your self Zip up a xvid or divx movie and see how much space you actually save.

Go on, just try it....... ;-)

If you've been following the thread, you'll see that the player already has problems playing high bitrate videos, so decompressing on the fly would be impossible, not to mention that the space you'll save from zipping a .pmp file will be negligible.
