Hi All,
I am looking for a software update for my
XDA Mini camera software.
I have the version 2.70 ( done 18727)
on my Xda mini.
Is there a new version out that:
1. Can record in a higher framerate than 10 frames/sec
in 320x240 ?
2. has a mode for 90 degrees 320x240 instead of 240x320 ?
Will it be possible to tweak the camera to get
better pictures and video ?
Thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
afaik you can take videos in 320x240 (landscape mode) , just press the key under green key..
How to check camera's version ?
Hi,
thanks for the info about landscape mode.
Does anybody know,
if there is a newer camera version out than:
version 2.70 ( done 18727) ?
Aren´t there any independant camera developers here ?
I would be willing to pay for a software that can do
any recording in 320x240 in 25 frames/sec in any Codec.
Please let me know, if there exists something like this.
Thanks.
Regards, Harti.
well, i think it aint so easy but if it is :lol:
the version you`re using is the newest as far as i know, follow another thread about saving pictures to sd. check that out!
I realy love to see software for the camera function of pda`s.
Also a "panorama maker" sounds cool
Hi,
where is exactly the other thread ? URL ?
Is there a better camera software inside the XDA mini s,
( the new Imate Magician with the keyboard ) ?
As it is probably the same hardware camera device,
maybe it will have a better software which can be extracted
from the Roms and could be used also for the Magician ?
What camera software comes with Windows Mobile 2005 ?
Is there already any pocket PC out there,
that can record videos in 640x480 in more than 10 frames/sec ?
Regards, Harti.
There is a new version its V2.70 (Build 21026)
Here is a CAB file that will install the new camera into Storage and the Album as well.
I have also attached just the new camera that will install into RAM which will replace your existing one (this option will use up your RAM)
The below CAB's include the camera fix so the speckles or "Snow" have also but been removed.
To uninstall you may have to manualy delete the new shortcuts and replace them with the standard shortcut found in the windows directory.
These CAB files will not delete the old files as they the old ones are loaded into RAM which can't be deleted.
If you want the CAB file to remain on your PPC after installation simply change its file preferences to "Read Only"
All CAB Files include the Speckle (or noise) FIX
Thanks,
does this new version support more than 10 frames/sec
in 320x240 resolution mode ?
Howdo I install CAB files ?
Please give me an URL , where it is explained, how I can
install CAB fileson the pocket PC, thanks.
Regards, Harti.

Not sure what the frame rate is.
To install CAB files just copy the file onto you SD card or into your device via a card reader (sd card) or via ActiveSync "Explore".
After you copy the file click on it on your Pocket PC via your file explorer.
Thats it. it will install into the folder i mentioned above.
Is there soon coming a new camera software version
that can capture at 25 frames/sec in any codec ?
Who is working on something like this ?
I really wouldl ove to pay money for such a recording program.
Please use overclocking if you can´t get it the normal way, but please
someone try 25 frames/sec at 320x240 at least.
Thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

It`s the same with me, landscape by default & may be somthing more...
Please can you check,
if the new camera software can do more frames per second
than 10 frames/sec in 320x240 mode ?
Please check both in MPEG-4 and MJPEG Avi.
Thanks.

just harry test on ImTOO 3GP Video Converter

it seems to be true, after decode to DVx, player show me 25 frame per sec. & all fast motion in the movie looks fluent
Hi,
Did you record Video or MMS Video ?
in Mode Video with MP4 and MJPEG Avi the new version
still records in 10 frames /sec.
Maybe your converter programm interpolates it just to 25frames/sec ?
But this will still not be true 25 frames/sec from the source, the camera
and still will be quite choppy.
Regards. Stefan,
Hi,
I tested now all modes again with TCPMP Player
and all 320x240 modes only have 10 frames/sec ! :roll:
Only the H263 mode with just 176x144 has 15 frames per
second. But that is just for MMS Videos mostly only and I want at least
320x240 in 25 frames/sec.
Regards, Stefan,
so is it worth it to upgrade from build 20117 to 21026? i'm using 2.7 build 20117 and the camera is still worthless.
ampda,
Are you going to do a new CAB download of the newer version which has your "bonus fixes" added in?
Just wondering cause I just downloaded your file above but am now wondering if there's something new just around the corner

I have updated the files in my first post, let me know how you go
Hello there.
Recently I've bought imate jaq3 and im experiencing some problems with tcpmp. As you know it has landscape screen and I think this is what causes the problem.
The thing is that the gui is messed up until i reflip the screen with assigned hardware button (rotate screen). When I try to playback a video (doesnt matter if .avi divx or mp4 from camera capture) I dont see the image. Have tried all video drivers:
1. Directdraw - no image.
2. GAPI - there is image but i get like 0.5 fps so its quite choppy.
3. GDI - no image.
I've tried to replace the gapi driver (gx.dll) but it wont let me, even with resco explorer.
Anyone has some ideas?
P.S. Coreplayer has the same problem.
Same issue with the UBIQIO 501, 503G
Slow video performance, getting a mere 8fps in TCPMP & CorePlayer, no games are playable
TechFaith must have crappy video drivers and put in a crappy chipset
Try Thye oldest TCPMP and LCG SmartMovie
Went back to 0.66, no go
The CPU is an OMAP 750, same ARM9 core as the 730 which my SP3i have
Even though the resolution is a bit smaller (220x176) I don't see why there would be such a huge performance difference (perfect smooth full screen playback)
Could it be related to gxdma.dll? I've read somewhere that HTC shipped thier device with such dll but for other purpose (even though our devices are made by TFW) which confused gx.dll and enabled the DMA functions/Double buffer
I checked my SP3i and there wasn't such DLL
Or could it be because of the gx.dll not being signed?
gx.dll is 6996 bytes
gxdma.dll is 2484 bytes

I guess is a driver problem.. something like a non-definitive or safe mode driver.. very slow but compatible with most apps.
Something new about this?? imate is telling me that new wm6 rom is near but...
WM6 still same issue!I bought jaq3 with WM6.And i can't fine WM6 ROM for jaq3.Just foune for UBIQIO 501.I don't know which WM6 ROM in my jaq3.It't 3.08 version.But it alway report no explainsion card although i still use storagecard normaly!I gusse this ROM from UBIQIO 501(because they just card differenc!)
I have constructed some video tests and the preliminary data I am getting back is that the Touch Pro is not great when it comes to video playback. Not at the moment anyway. Though my tests were done with the latest Coreplayer I would extrapolate that the results are indicative of the overall video performance irrespective of the player used.

I don't know how much the video performance can be improved with newer ROMS or optimised software but I think it will take a while before any drastic improvements are seen, if ever. I have the video files available for those would like to test this for themselves and can PM the links. They short clips might be considered copyrighted so I will not post them.
Hmm
I have some DVD rips which were encoded for use on the Sony PSP, with the following attributes:
Format: MPEG4
Video: AVC aka H.264
Video Size: 480 x 272
Frame Rate: 29.970
Audio: MPEG4 AAC Audio
Audio Format: 96000Hz 2 Ch
I figured it'd be useful to be able to play those rips on my TP, so I tried it using Coreplayer v1.2.5.
There was no sound - I cannot fix this and have raised a ticket with Coreplayer support.
Nevertheless, the benchmark gave an average speed of 101.90% so that's not too bad.
Has anyone else tried these types of files on their TP using Coreplayer? Have you managed to get any sound?
The thread title should be changed into:
"Don't expect great video from CorePlayer on your Raphael."
The problem is not the Raphael. The problem is the CorePlayer! At least when playing MP4 files. I've tested several MP4 files and the CorePlayer is playing them choppy while the WMP Mobile has no problems!
As I've posted in the topic with touch pro issues:
poor directdraw, framebuffer/video performance.
Just to make an idea: an old device from 2005 with omap 850 200mhz CPU performs better in this area than the touch pro @ qualcomm 528mhz. what a shame. The test were done in this topic (in romanian, sorry). CorePlayer was used for benchmark. I will summarize.
- HTC Tornado overclocked (262Mhz) max performance: 174.22%
- Touch Pro max performance: 172,67%
Both in Raw framebuffer mode. When used QTV it gains only 162,64%. How come?
It's pitty, 262Mhz from OMAP performs better than 528!!!Mhz from Qualcomm?!
The video used for tests is this one. (320x240 @ 25FPS)

Of course, this may be fixed with software optimization.. But it's kinda annoying that the existing 3rd-party doesn't work so well..
I saw in a romanian review that touch pro is under diamond at Graphics index.

All the .mp4 files I transcoded played fine in Coreplayer. The container (.mp4, .avi) is not the problem it's what is inside. Anything benchmarking over a 100% will play smoothly. I will PM you the links to my clips and you can tell me how they all play in both WMP and Coreplayer.

With WMP the first two are running fine, the last two have just sound without a picture. The codec (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) is not the problem because I have many vids with this codec running fine.
I don't have the time to test the files with the CorePlayer at the moment, but here are the specs of a file which runs choppy with the CorePlayer, but fine with the WMP:
Video: avc1 / H.264/MPEG-4 AVC / 480 x 360 / 509 kbps / 29.971 fps
Audio: mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC / 44100Hz 123 kbps, stereo
The problem of the current releases of coreplayer is that the QTV driver provided is not the one for the MSM7201A processor; it's the one of the TyTnII (MSM7200 If I'm not mistaken).
To fully exploit the "graphic accelerator" of our TPs I think we'll have to wait for an optimized version of coreplayer for our HTCs (coreplayer 1.3 as anounced in their website, as they say that a version optimized for Touchs will be released soon).
I've contacted HTC support about video performance.
Answer in short: "The Touch Pro is not made for playing Media. It was made as a business device."
TyTN was made as a business device and included ATI Imageon GPU.
Hmm...guess I learnt something new today. I always thought hardware wise the Touch Pro would be the same if not better than Diamond, i.e. whatever videos the Diamond can play, the Touh Pro can do just as well. But looking at the site provided in Mike's post, I'm guessing that's not the case.

I really think there's some kind of error regarding graphics benchmark results there, since Touch Pro has the same CPU, the same 3D accelerator and more RAM !

Someone could give it a try with another video. I don't have a TP yet ot I'd try it.
Basically I want to be able to throw a 600mb, VGA resolution file from my computer straight onto an SD card and watch it on the go without having to bother about conversions. Is this not possible?

I havent tried this yet, but I will once I get back home tomorrow.. Would be awesome if that worked!
EDIT: Loading in a episode of Dexter (original release, DVDScr.XVID) on, and installing TCMP.. Il post results!
Loaded "Dexter.S03E01.DVDScr.XviD-NOTYOU.avi" onto my memory card and played it in TCPMP and it worked more or less flawlessly!! No need to worry about playback performance! Although to get 100% perfect playback, it should be converted or something as the playback did suffer som slight stutters from time to time.
EDIT: The only thing this device suffers from in terms of video playback is 65k colors.
err that's weird look at the results posted at these sites:

Guys sorry, but what are u trying to play in Raphael, that this device is not so powerful for you?
I watched almost 20 movies (DivX for PC) / series on Raphael and withou any problem. Video is smooth, great and thats it...

When I tried to load up Dexter.S03E01.DVDScr.XviD-NOTYOU with CorePlayer, I only got audio, no video... But TCPMP worked quite well..
yeah im searching for proper video settings to convert files to for my device using catalyst or pocketdivx encoder, still searching on that one.
but then i tried just throwing my original episode of entourage and yeah it looks awesome., will probably do that more often with the faster file transfer and once i get a bigger sd card.
The firmware drivers do need a bit of work and coreplayer 1.2.5 doesn't fully support the touch pro as the makers have made clear.
I would suggest waiting for coreplayer 1.3 and maybe a few newer ROMs before giving final judgement, though Qtv specs on the qualcom chips do say it maxes out at 640x480 15-30fps 384kbps if i remember right.
FYI: Qtv is a software codec specifically designed for maximum performance on the 7201a chipset used by the touch pro. This is what coreplayer does not fully support yet (unlike on the TyTN).
Also, regarding HTC's response, why don't you ask the same question again but about the Touch Diamond, as it's not a business device.

What 3D accelerator does the Pro/Diamond use? What chip?
can anybody tell me which program can I use to convert .avi files to .mp4 files in best resolution supported by hd2 ? As far as I know Mp4ForHd converts only files to touch hd resolution so as I asked before, which program can be used to convert to mp4 and in which resolution? And my second question - in upper right corner there should be a litle icon which allows me to disable running aplications - I don't have it, how can I turn it on ?
Well, the Touch HD and HD2 have the same screen resolutions (they are both WVGA) despite the size differences. I have used MP4forHD and find that the audio/vidio sync is out on the HD2. I tend to use Any Video Converter which is freeware and allows for much greater customisation to suit your needs, and have yet to find any sync issues. Be sure to keep the video bitrate <= 2000 as values above this start to effect the framerate/ playback smoothness. Also, it is best to keep the resolution at WVGA otherwise you will increase the chance of exceeding the 2GB file size limit. Anything file size above this the HTC Album program wont play (i'm assuming this is what you want to use?).
i use Super i think its the best freeware

Welcome to the forums!
If the device is fake, ROMs for the official genuine device will probably not work on it.
It could be upgradeable but I don't think that there is any ROM available.
A Diamond 2 with 240x400 resolution? That is fake! Don't believe in the information given but try comparing those with offical specifications and the seller one's.
