Movies on 66mhz Clie devices?

[Tachion]

I posted this earlier and maybe it was answered, but apparently everything got deleted... so...

Is it possible to watch full length movies (at a good framerate, resolution and quality) on the 66mhz Clie devices, specifically the T665c, or is it only possible on the NX series?

Thanks

It is possible on the T665C. But you will have to use up the whole 128mb memory stick. Maybe its not even enough.

TV shows are ok, but the quality on full length movies not. There simply is not enough space on a 128MB memory stick. For example...an episode of startrek enterprise fills my entire 128MB memory stick

Forgot to mention...this is of course with kinoma player/producer

[williepalm]

Yes, Kinoma works better than the Gmovie.

Yeah, I recently purchased Kinoma producer for the sole purpose of trying to compress a movie into 128mb...no such luck. An episode of the Simpson's takes up about 30mb, which isn't bad. I tried converting The Art of War, but about 10 hours later, I got tired of waiting and stopped it.

There was a previous thread on here from someone who got Swordfish on their Clie...maybe they could speak up and give us some hints...

Dont worry. Once the Clie people get everything back up, things should be right as rain again.

For now tho, you can always look at www.CLIEFLIX.com for good stuff to download..

When the Clie guys fix everything (and hope all is well)...the post youre referring to is here:

Too bad my sound doesn't work with Kinoma.

ive been still trying to find the way to convert an entire Divx Movie into one long 128mb file without Kinoma Producer Choking while trying to convert the huge MPEG into the kinoma file. I know that you need VirtualDub to convert a Divx flick to Mpeg..

[ClieMarty]

hmm, divx viewer for future clie's might be a good idea. i mean with pro sticks large enough to hold 1gb ;-)

You have Star Trek on a MS? Where can I find it? I put a couple of Stargate SG1 Episodes on an MS trying it out but the original had an audio problem. The transfer went fine but the audio sampling rate made everyone have a lisp...drove me nuts. Need to do it again!:D

I have a copy of every episode of Star Trek Enterprise on my computer. I just download them off of Kazaa. An MPEG of an epidsode is around 436MB and takes about 6 hours on my DSL connection. A while ago I found a website that had all of the episodes encoded in Divx format at 80MB and episode. I will try and find it and post a link to it.

[rob_squared]

Ahh yes, kazaa. You can get all the trek episodes there, many are in DivX format now. In fact, my project to convert all DS9 episodes to 60-90 MB DivX files is almost done, I have 19 out of 176 episodes left to do.

Its taken me about 1.5 months. :)

Actually, you can watch full length movies even on 33MHz devices. I converted several movies on my old N760 and they looked good.

You can't use the best quality, but it's possible to get about 90 minutes of decent video and sound on a 128. The longest movie I've converted so far was Final Fantasy at around 98 minutes. The quality was pretty good through most of the movie. A few sections were a little blocky/blurry, but it was very watchable.

I use Kinoma Producer & Player. Works great. Usually rip the movie out to raw data (HUGE files, but I've got lots of space) then edit, filter and crop to better suite the Clie screen and save it to a Quicktime file. Then I use Kinoma to convert the Quicktime file to the Palm format. The Quicktime file is usually 320x240/200 at full frame rate. In Kinoma I cut the frame rate to half or 1/3rd of the original, and if pressed for size I will reduce the rez to 160x120/100. You need to use the minimum data rate for the video, but don't use the minimum 11K mono or 23K stereo audio settings, they don't work right and will crash Kinoma on long videos.

Is there any difference in size between cartoons and live video in kinoma format?

You have a T-series do you not? Make sure you encode your stuff with ADPCM sound, that should fix it

The file size would be the same.
