h.264 on 1.5?

[h00ligan]

Wondering if anyone has found a way to support the above?

Stepped out for a bit - any progress?

[jcb]

No, they havent.

It's upsetting that so many people are concerned with the crappy game selection the PSP has available and not movies.

If enough people worked on it we would be creating our own UMD video for the memory stick already. We have to forget about how to get 2.0 firmware video to play on 1.5 and stick with the UMD video format. THATS where high quality full resolution video with hardware support is. H.264 from the memory stick for 2.0 still sucks and has tons of problems - sticky frames, 30 fps limit, low resolution, no hardware support etc.

UMD Video please. If we can back UMD video up and decode it to play on a PC I see no reason why we cant find a way to create our own encodes.

Well gosh jcb, if you're getting so worked up about it, why don't you figure out the solution yourself instead offering nothing but more useless bitching?

I think it's obvious that people are more concerned about the "crappy game selection" because most people think of the PSP as a portable gaming machine that happens to play videos, instead of a portable video player that happens to play games.

Well we already have half of the solution to playing UMD video format from a memory stick on formware 1.5. We have the "PMF player" which lets you take any .pmf file from a game or UMD video, place it in a certain subdirectory on a ms, and play 480x272 h.264 without ff, rewind, etc.
I've used it quite a bit with several dumps, especially those game movies from full dumps that I haven't been rewarded with during play of the stripped down rips (i.e. Colin Mcrae and Medievil Resurrection).

The only problem is to find a PMF encoder! I have the full PSP SDK, where that encoder is supposedly located, but I don't know how to compile the source code.

Anyway... rent and rip for now. Datel drive gets here Wed....mmmm..

I just got the Datel drive last night and it was very easy installed. I used the software it came with to load a couple music vids and a movie on the drive. When I tried to play the video the audio portion was fine but the video was very choppy. Has anyone had experience with this and any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

Thanks

.pmf and .mps files are DIFFERENT streams all together. .pmf only allows for 29.97 framerate and a locked resolution of 480x272. .MPS allows a 23.976 framerate and has a higher resolution.

well .. the full sdk never leaked, only some parts of it

using mph fw emulator you can play h.264, but not in full res of course, and i ask why does it matter ? you can play xvids in full res using pmp player on 1.5

[OwenHart101]

The SDK has NOTHING to do with the .mps / .pmf encoder. The encoder is a standalone program.

[zshadow]

it is a standalone program so to speak.. but comes with the full sdk.
