That's it...I'm ready for movies!!

I agree, kinoma player should be able to recognize at least a few of the mainstream native formats like (the major flavors of) avi and mov

As an interim fix they could improve kinoma producer's performance.
 
sleuth255,

Do you have the converted Two Towers file online somewhere? Would really like to see it. Thanks.

Pride Of Lions,
Did not mean to make life ruff on you or to put more fuel to the fire. But your relpy made me LOL and my wife wonder what was so funny. After I showed her you slaped me across the head and LOL too. I'm the one that spends to much, on computers and technology while she hardly spends a thing.
 
Hehehe. I'll get you a decent movie playing on your TT. As I said before PPC's are not that great for movies. It's only becuase of their low res screens.....

Okay first things first. Do you have DivX 5.1.1 installed on your Mac and some type of program that can encode? And what kind of source videos do you have? DVDs or Tv capture?
(And DivX doesn't cost anything BTW, as long as you don't mind a tad of adware. Just block gaintrickler with your firewall and the adware can't do anything anyway!)
Then check you have MMPlayer 0.2.9 and get back to me. Most important that you have MMPlayer 0.2.9 cus it's way better than older ones....

Hey Pride of Lions,
I haven't taken the time to read the entire tread but I read the first and last pages. As a fellow Mac user, I use ffmpegx to encode Divx. It is a combination of over 20 unix applications rolled into one interface. It has a LOT of settings and may allow you to get movies working on your Palm. It has a convoluted installation process, but follow the directions closely and the end result is worth it. If you have problems, email me.

Hope this helps.
 
Does anyone have any idea what the size of the files on realplayer will be ( in relation to kinema)

and will realplayer play besides mp3 also video files?
 
Well, if you can give me an email address that can handle a 20meg attachment then I'll be happy to send it to you. I don't have access to an FTP site... sorry.
 
Thanks for taking up the challenge.

I tried your suggestion re: the passphrase in DropZip, but the selection was greyed-out and therefore unable to be changed. It was unchecked anyways. Still really freaky.

Also, I went to download your file, but I got this error message.

So close and yet so far. My heart can't take much more of this.

Elizabeth, I'm coming to join you honey!

Sorry, but your profile doesn't let me email you. It says that you have chosen not to receive emails through this board. I can't see an email address when I pull up your profile either...
 
Stupid question, but kind of in the same area...

I have d/l'd kinoma player, and a couple of the demo movies (love that boxter) but I can't get kinoma to find them if I have them on my sd card - it just says that there are no movies installed... if I transfer the movie to the palm resident ram, then all is good, and kinoma finds the clip. Is there a specific directory that the clip has to be in on the SD card?
 
Lol. Well I'll start downloading again anyway and sort something out asap! Another 25Meg to go:(

There should be quite a large performance difference between DivX 3 and 5.1.1, as there was a huge diference just between DivX 5.05 and 5.1, but I'll be interested to look at your video sometime maybe, when I have some spare time for downloading! (grrrr to 56K.)
I have a feeling that DivX 3 video *may* not actually run in MMPlayer.......

I'll try and get a video converted and e-mailed to PrideOfLions by moday or tuesday.

Well, now that was a very cool, non-boring and informative READ!! I learned a few things -- especially the Indeo V thing -- never even heard of that.

A buddy of mine has Adobe Premiere. It will export to QuickTime format. He sizes the clips he wants (AND can adjust color balance, brightness, contrast, etc!!), and exports clip as a quicktime clip. Kinoma just EATS IT UP. Boom - 12MB film clip comes out as a compressed 4-5MB Kinoma pdb, and he's "away for slates" as they say in England.

Adobe Premiere is VERY EXPENSIVE but there may be freeware apps that do the same thing - I believe that's the secret to Kinoma -- have an external PC editor that feeds Kinoma Producer a quicktime format clip without the Codec nightmares. You can also trim and compress what you want.

Has anyone heard of a FREE (or less expensive) "movie tweaking" software? That would help all of us. Does Sonic Foundry "Vegas" handle Video? I know it does sound . . . . ?
 
windex: My video content on my SD card is in the "/PALM/Launcher" directory. Kinoma reads them just fine from there. There's another optional directory (I think it's "/PALM/Programs/Kinoma"), but it didn't work for me.

iiiCRules: I have yet to receive a reply from Kinoma regarding our needs. Perhaps I should take it as though they're too busy addressing our needs to reply. Either that or they're swamped with e-mails from us Palm Blvd-ers and they're floored on their a$$es shocked that so many of us aren't supremely pleased with their product.

Until then...

Yes, there is some good freeware for tweaking. VirtualDubMod is what I use.
http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net
It takes a while to understand and get used to it, but it's worth I as it is VERY good. I really does have loads of settings. Note: Its note for editing, just playing with formats and things... It has a capture mode too.
Out of interest how long was the 4-5mb clip?
I will try and post video clips on this board- one for T3 and one for T1/2, for people to try out in MMPlayer. The encoding is hard for MMPlayer, but it gives stunnng results in the end, the quality and file size of which Kinoma can just not compare to.
Encoding times are probably similar, once you know how to use VirtualDub quickly etc....
