Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

Please don't tell me you got 4TB space on N900! :p

In any case you could get 4 to 5 720p movies in N900 (4.4GB average). An 2-3 more in the mmc

I am telling you man its much much faster to download 8 480p axxo movies than going through all this pain ;)

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

So, you are saying that copying and watching a 720p file on pc (dvd player, ps3, etc) is worthless?

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

I dont have 4tb of space on my n900, but I do on my desktop- not going to watch 480p aXXo releases on a 1080p monitor.

I get my movies/shows to watch on my computer, but if I want to take a couple of episodes with me if Im going on the train I dont want to have to wait a few hours to re-encode them. I want to just copy them over and thats it.

When did I say that? I said it is worthless to do it in N900 :rolleyes:

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

Good point :D And of course we all know what suits as best.

I am just saying that for those who think that playing 720p videos on N900 gives them better a/v quality are ready to destroy their devices for it

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

What is missing in your statement is video recording above 848x480 (DVD and HD resolutions). And it is not only 720p playback, those codecs allow you to watch video profiles not supported in stock codecs. Anyway, I am not pushing anyone to use this, it is a matter of choice.

BTW my 42'' plasma is 848x480 physical resolution but has hdmi input. Once I've tried that input to watch BD rip 1080p and was impressed by the quality of the picture. It is not only the pixel count that matters, trust me on that.

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

Of course its also about pixel density and monitor engine (bravia aquos viega etc) and type (plasma LCD LED) and brand and contrast and refresh rate and of course the higher the pixel density (PPi) the better :D

But again you are focusing on you own specific setup and specs ;)

I can honestly tell you that 480p movie on my N900 looks far more impressive in clarity, contrast, sharpness and flow than a full HD blu ray in a common 52'' full hd 100Hz LG :cool:

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

I still cant get this working.
I OC'd the CPU to 900 and the DSP to 600 and it still runs at around 1 frame every few seconds.

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

Can somebody create a script to install kernel49 and the 720 mod? I have some problems doing all this. Currently I am at multiboot 48.
thanks..

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

Hello@ freemangordon. I would first like to thank you for taking so much for your time for kernel and 720P videos. I have few problems maybe you guys could help me out. I used to have kernel v48, speed patch + battery above that I flashed "zImage -900mhz' . Everything was running fine but as soon as I saw this post of watching 720p I couldn't resist so I downladed kernel v49 and followed the post of "installing through N900" instruction. I did everything but I didn't understand "Edit1 and Edit 2" part in your post. I skipped both the parts. Anyways, The test video is playing in Km, SIB player but not in Stock MP player error "Unable to play the format". If i try to run from xterm, I get the following error

"gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///home/user/MyDocs/test.avi

As you could figure out from my name that I am noob so i would be highly oblige if you could help. I would like to share few more details in case it helps.

I downloaded kernal module, kernal power and kernal flasher. I did with dpkg method but somebody mentioned I shouldn't be doing this with dpkg command. Anyways, I haven't changed the config of kernel so it showing 500 mhz in conky. I am planning to change the config.
Whenever I try to mount usb now it says Insufficient power and doesn't mount my usb.
my google contacts and sometimes yahoo contacts don't appear at all in conversation.

I am willing to flash my N900 and redo everything if that takes to play 720p videos. If I have to redo everything then please guide me with simple step. SInce, I downloaded everything on my N900. I could see that 581MB exe file in my 'RX-71" folder. If could help me how to skip this 581 MB file . Plz guide me step by step.

P.S - Sorry for my bad english
Thanks a lot and good job
