Cxx0 General discussions / Mplayer Audio Sync

« on: January 11, 2007, 02:47:49 am »

I Encoded it using these instructions:

https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Mencoder_Encoding

Specifically:

mencoder dvd://1 -srate 24000 -vop scale=320:240 -o office_space.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=15:mode=3 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=150 -ofps 15 -sws 2

and it does the same thing.

I still have to try and re-encode using CBR. I guess I'll see what happens then.

Thanks for your advice, it still really helped me.

Hi Serge,

Yes the file plays fine on my deskyop using mplayer. I am pretty sure that you are on the right track because I re-encoded the file using windows media encoder 9 (blah) and the audio/video rates were synced, but I lost a lot of the video quality. Is there a way I can have my mplayer on zaurus tell me what -ac audio decoders it supports?

Hi Serge,

It ran but the audio was still faster than the video. mplayer version is:

MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.2 for Zaurus 1.1.5

I will check the lameopts for constant bit rate and re-encode and see what happens.

Hi Serge, thanks for your response.

I tried the '-ac ffmp3' flag in kino2's "preferences" (File -> Preferences... -> Options for mplayer) and that didn't work. I am a newbie when it comes to encoding video. Can you tell me what mencoder flags I can use to encode the audio stream with a constant bitrate? I am looking to get the best quality sound and video as file size doesn't matter to me because I have a 4GB SD card.

Also, is there any way to get mplayer to accept the - and + keys so that I could adjust the lag on the fly? The "o" for on screen display works, but not many of the other ones. Thanks.

Hello,

I have a C760 running Cacko 1.23. I have encoded a DVD using mencoder and various other retail dvd encoders from pinnacle, Intervideo, and 123 Copy DVD. My problem is that when I play the ripped/encoded dvd file on my desktop the audio and video are synced perfectly, but when I play the video on my Z in mplayer the audio is 2-3 seconds faster than the video. What gives? How are others playing video on their Z? I have also encoded a .mpg file shot with my handycam and it does the same thing.

It appears that mplayer has the ability to resync the audio using either the + and - keys or by using a '-delay' switch on startup, but it appears that the mplayer for the Z either doesn't support this or doesn't have the input key mapping file. Does anyone know about this file?

Cxx0 Hardware / Wifi Issues

« on: January 08, 2007, 12:30:38 pm »

I re-installed (flashed) my Z with the Cacko distribution and both cards work fine now. Not sure what happened, but I have networking support now.

Cxx0 Hardware / Wifi Issues

« on: January 05, 2007, 01:58:32 pm »

Hello All,

I am running Cacko 1.23 on a c760 and I am having issues with the wifi networking. I have used 2 different manufacturers wifi cards, but unforetunately they both have the exact same chipset (Intersil Prism 2.5 with primary firmware 1.1.1 and secondary firmware 1.8.4, according to hostap_diag). The network stays up for a minute or two and then I get the following type of message streamed to dmesg:

wifi0: hfa384x_cmd_issue - cmd was busy for 5000 usec
wifi0: hfa384x_get_rid: CMDMODE_ACCESS failed (res=-100, rid=fd51, len=6)

and other similar messages starting with:
wifi0: hfa384x_ - ...

Please help, not much I can do with this thing without network support :-(

Cxx0 Hardware / 4gb Sd Card In C760

« on: January 05, 2007, 12:45:25 pm »

Hi Guys,

I used the C-guys drivers for the sd-link11b with my c760 running cacko 1.23, kernel 2.4.18, rebooted the Z, fdisked the sd card and layed down a vfat filesystem on it. Now I can happily access all 4GB of the SD card on both my Z and my Toshiba Laptop! Thanks guys for all your help. Now on to my wifi problems.

Cxx0 Hardware / Sdio Slot In C760?

« on: January 04, 2007, 06:56:42 pm »

Hello,

I was wondering if the SD slot in my c760 is also an SDIO slot, allowing me to use an SD based bluetooth adapter for example.

Cxx0 Hardware / 4gb Sd Card In C760

Thanks, I was looking at that before, but from the filename I deduced that it was for a 2.4.20 version kernel. The kernel version on my c760 w/ cacko 1.23 is 2.4.18, can I still use this module/driver?

Or, how can I update the kernel version so I can use this driver?

Cxx0 Hardware / 4gb Sd Card In C760

Hello All,

I have a Patriot 4GB SD card that I know works with my C760 (I had it working under OZ with 2.6 kernel). I have searched the forums and can't seem to find a definitive answer. My question is: how can I get this card, or any > 1GB card working with Cacko 1.23?
