Without overclocking, it's only with CorePlayer, not using bilinear prediction and CABAC and refraining from using higher bitrates or waitching 4:3 movies that you can have steady playback. Overclocking surely helps, but severely decreases battery life.</p> <p> Dunno why your bilinear- and CABAC-less tests resulted in worse results than with the original. In my TCPMP tests, these test videos behaved as they should: that is, with these two features disabled at encoding time, decoding became much less CPU-intensive.</p> pubDate Sun, 16 Dec 2007 17:32:41 -0600 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 6828 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/the-h264-aka-mpeg-4-part-10-and-avc-bible#comment-6826 <p>Lat, Pathologo, thanks for the comments! </p> <p>Yup, this is why I've stated right at the beginning (in the pro/cons section) that this tutorial (or, using AVC in general) only applies to folks that really need to reduce the storage requirements of videos. People that have plenty of free storage shouldn't bother - for them, ASP is a much better / more convenient solution.</p> pubDate Sun, 16 Dec 2007 11:22:13 -0600 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 6826 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms
