any clues as to how i can achieve some high quality movie files in PDP other than .jpeg photo. i have found that Jpeg photo seems to be quite grainy and uses alot of juice with larger dimensions. are there any encoding options that i may have missed. could someone point in this direction. thanks
hi,
did some testing, but not just for pdp (quicktime) but also for gem (avi, mpeg): if you don't care about hd space, then rawvideo (YUV 4:2:0) is, in my opinion, the best codec for quality and it's not agressive on the cpu. but i never tried to open it in pdp so i don't really know if it's supported.
for gem, mpeg2 give me good result at 640x480, but on linux you cannot use the mpeg3toc to loop the movie. i don't think it's fix (i will try with my new distribution (gentoo), who knows)).
keep us updated, patrick
I've most liked pdp_qt or pdp_yqt with mov files. I use transcode to output full resolution, deinterlaced, lightly compressed movies. They're still randomly accessible with very few visible compression artifacts.
