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%
