| Links worked for me 2nite. Not direct tho. Is is a referrer issue?
FWIW, .66 was fine for me, no hangups and smooooth performance.
I got stopped not long ago because my passenger was watching a movie and my 6651 was visible to me as well, a legal no no. (Videos cannot be within eyeshot of the driver)
A quick click before the officer got to my door and my 6651 was in navigation mode. Saved me $103.50. Whew!
Big thumbs up to Picard. My 6651 now does superb video for those rare times I want to watch something, or I want to show off to a friend. |

| Okay, I finally downloaded TCPMP 0.66e and tried it on my newest H/PC (MP800 [MIPS] ), and tried it with the setting "Use VR41xx tweaks" disabled and then enabled. Worked fine both times, though the video flow suffers if the image size is above 100%. This player (and all others I've seen ) seems to work best in half-VGA devices, where the image size fits the screen. |

| The trick is not to enable video scaling - by enalarging or reducing you are adding additional CPU work.
Compile for a 240 pixels wide screen and put up with having it in a letterbox and with any luck you should get as resonable levels of results as with a similar spec HVGA. |

| I should amend my last comment. I've been looking at several videos at various sizes, and I'm finding that most of them are nearly perfect at as high as 150% size on both my large-screen MIPS H/PCs (MP800 and Clio 1050 ). Obviously, the faster and finer the motion, the more likely it is to be a bit rough. (We're talking about refresh rate here, aren't we? That would mean it could also be a limitation of the device, right? ) But I'm seeing almost none of this even at 150%. The irony is that, because the images are pretty crisp in the (VGA ) Clio's dot pitch, it's better to view them there than on the (SVGA ) MP800, because the image will be smaller on the latter screen. |

| I just installed TCPMP 0.66 (the developers have dropped the letter suffix on the current version ) on my MP790, and had a learning experience. I got an error message when I tried to load a video: "GAPI: GAPI not supported on this device. Try a different driver!" (I didn't know that GAPI was not supported on the MP790. Does that mean I can't play Doom on it? [Haven't tried yet.] ) I bug reported, and Picard told me to use the GDI driver for video, but suggested that it might not work quite as well as GAPI would on a supported device. But video was fine with the GDI driver.
Thought I should give MP790 users a heads-up in case some of them aren't aware of this small issue. |

| WinCESoft haven't come up with a mips port, so the answer as you've found out is, no, gapi isn't supported. |

| OK - first thing, cut the previous post :- )
And second - it's enough to use fake GAPI, speed increase of about 200% |
|

|
| GAPI on TCMPMP runs on HPC Pro??
How I do it? |
