I know i've read with ram hacks games are slow, what about movies? I watched a movie from my phone for the first time and it was pretty good (office space) a little lag. I have a class 6 card if that matters.....
I believe that movies should also lag when you are using 10mb ram hack...this hack takes all the memory that was for video, and uses it on other things, so it should also afect the video playback...
Think as if you take out your video card from your PC, what its going to happen? Everything that is involved with the video card is going to be affected, because its not there anymore....something like that...
Srry for my bad english, but i guess you get the point...
Ok cool thanks. The lag wasnt too bad. Thanks for the reply btw.

Hey Guys(and Gals just incase i didn't see ya ),
i gotz a prob...But b4 i start, let me say if i type alot it is to avoid you getting frustrated and me being a rEtArD and not covering all my bases on this end!!!
i upgraded my ROM on my Cingular 8125 to faria's new WM6 and otherwise it runs great. But here's the thing, All my movies are choppy i.e. i hear steady sound but all the video patches/glitches. Being the bold and steady nerved being i am(kidding) i decided to use my editing programs to shrink the files and see if that worked but to no avail. so what do i do and if possible is there a thread that i may learn from to cover any other media player problems that may arrouse?
Did you try overclocking? That may help. Also, did you try more than 1 video player? TCPMP seems to usually work better than WMP.
Yeah i tried it. Faria's rom comes with some overclock program and i tried using it but it didn't make any difference, well not much at any rate. ANd i really need to fix this as i'm kinda defending the pocket pc name(childish i know) my friend just got his Iphone and is trying to show me up after all the work i did fixing and fixing up my wizard(cing. 8125) . so i gotta get it to work! i will also try another program as well... by chance is Real Player any good? Oh yeah before i forget, is there anyway the fact i have a 2gb card be part of my problem? i read some thread on here that some PPC phones have a hard time with 'em.
Try overclocking to 247 mhz and see if that helps, anything under that probably won't make much of a difference and 247 mhz seems to be the safe speed that most people overclock to.
I've never tried real player, I've pretty much always stuck with TCPMP. Theres a setting in the options that will use a larger buffer size for movies on your SD card, you might try checking that setting and see if it helps at all. It's under options-->settings-->select page-->buffering.
Wizards don't usually have problems with 2 Gb cards that I know of, it's the 4 Gb cards that have all the problems. One other thing you might try if you have a card reader and that is to stick it in the card reader and use windows defrag on it.
The only other thing I can think of at the moment is maybe it's the format the movie is in. My best success with movies has been using divx.
One other thing that I just though of, did you try shrinking the the video size to 320 x 240 instead of it's original size? That should speed it up quite a bit.
i decided to do the tcpmp and it got better and i ran the omap to help but the video still freezes up periodically. Is that usual and if not what else can i do as i already tried compressing the vid format and defragged as you requested?
Wait...Wait... i think i got it i increased the buffer size to 29000 dunno if that's safe tell me quick. but it is working. and if this fixes it i can tell you right now that Iphone ain't got S___ on us!!!!!
Increasing the buffer size shouldn't cause any problems. I'm guessing you already know that by now though since you posted that over an hour and a half ago. Make sure when you run video that there's nothing else runnign in the background. Either using x-button or going to the memory app in settings will tell you if anything else is running and allow you to shut it down.
yeah i did. thanx 4 the help Xeno, that TCPMP fixed the prob rite up and it didn't cost $700 either. now on to finding some good programs... games esp. any suggestions???
Glad I could help. I can't help you a whole lot with the games cuz I don't have all that many. Try these links, they have tons of stuff you can download - http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php and http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ I would also suggest cLaunch - it let's you put links to your apps and games directly on your today screen and also BatteryStatus - if you don't already have it. Both you can find easily by googleing for them.
I noticed the same problem after upgrading to WM6. I haven't tried in quite awhile, so I don't know if different ROMS really make a difference or not, might have to try it to find out. I will try the buffer thing too, overclocking never really seemed to help much.

also know the speed of your sd.. i've had a cheapo $15 2gb x80 from ebay for a long time and it works flawlessly.. always use tcpmp.. I recommend a killer program called lathe.. you canfind it 'around'
http://www.omniquiti.com/store.php
well it's great you got the video smoother by increasing buffer size, but you have to realize that the iphone will always own our wizzards in terms of video performance, since their video cards are miles ahead of ours (which is why their photo browser with 3d flickering runs so seemlessly). I'd just be happy with having mediocre quality vids stream fairly smoothly on the wizzard, but I sure as hell wouldn't brag or compare it to an iphone.

Mine is a 150x Ritek. Never had any performance issues from it. Quite the opposite, in fact, when I've put it into my card reader on my PC with an adapter.
Just wondering about the video driver problem that haunted the TYTN II in the beginning with extreme lag in video and rendering...........did we find a cure? or did we just end up living with it.......???
Mostly living with it, but Core Player has a special workaround built in and YouTubePlay works a hell of a lot better than the HTC YouTube app.
I think slow might be relative

It's funny, and maybe due to my having just upgraded from an Excalibur, but I have been nothing but thrilled with the video performance of the tilt. Now I *did* flash a replacement rom within 20 minutes of taking the thing out of the package, so perhaps this is involved, but so far I love this thing to death.
for me, SmartPlayer is best from all coreplayer etc..videos do not jump or freeze.
if sound is not in sync, it tells me how much off it is and i can resync on my pc.
I ve been convertin videos to watch on my g1 but every video I try lags
Im using a class 6 sdcard, I ve tried setting my cpu to max, which does help a bit but still the lag
I ve run the converted files (mp4) on my pc and they work perfectly.
The sound and video quality is great but it jumps every couple of seconds, I ve tried 4 different video players.
Anyone got any advice how I can fix this? I ve tried varyin bitrates but all with the same results.
convert the video to a lower bit rate
thanks for your reply
I had to go down to 120 kbs before I stopped the lag, qualities pretty poor but it runs pretty smooth now
I use BadaBoom and convert files to about 800, before I notice a lag issue. I have even converted some to 1200 and they work good. You could also try going into airplane mode, but I have never had to.
hi thanks for your response, ive certainly bookmarked badaboom but im afraid my graphics card isnt up to it and im on ubuntu.
I ve been using avidemux to convert, perhaps its jus my pc thats causin issues.
Thanks for the tip on airplane mode, didnt think of that
Big thanks 2 JackD3ath
airplane mode fixed it perfectly and iam only fillin my fone up with videos becuz i am flying
Now I jus hav to reconvert the 11 files I set at 120 kbs bitrate a little higher, but hey it works
You can use handbrake to do that on linux. The settings for our phones are about the same as for an Iphone. I think I had to change the video codec (in the video tab) to the ffmeg setting.
I just got my Nook HD+ and went ahead and put the carbon emmc tweaked rom on it. I am coming from a HP Touchpad with CM9. I was hoping the Nook HD+ would be an "upgrade" due to hdmi out and microSD card capabilities, but so far it seems like the Nook HD+ is no where near as fast as the Touchpad CM9??? I never even overclocked the Touchpad.
I am mostly wanting to use it for video playback and I use BSPlayer, re-encoded 480p mkvs and on the Touchpad I could easily speed up playback to even 1.8 or 2.0 (double speed playback) and it wouldnt miss frames, would stay in sync with the audio and it wouldnt be choppy at all. With the HD+ I cant even play the same files at 1.2 playback speed without it going out of sync with the audio and it seems it speeds up the audio but not the video. With MX Player playback is choppy and missing frames etc... I am so confused as to why the HD+ cannot handle these lower resolution re-encoded files. I even tried a faster microSD card, putting files on the internal storage and its always the same choppy out of sync result. Same result with downloaded lower resolution 360p mp4 files from youtube. I tried older BSPlayer apks and the newest, same result. Before I took the stock OS off of the HD+ I had basically the same video playback results as I do no with the carbon tweaked rom on it. My Galaxy S2 Stock using BSPlayer has no problems with the playback/speeding up playback just like the Touchpad.
I also noticed that the HD+ tends to lag and the touch sensitivity isnt all that great?????
One last question, is it normal for the proprietary charging cable to be loose in the charging port bc mine does not "click" into the port at all and it seems fairly loose, loose enough that when I barely move the cord at all and the connector "wiggles" just a little bit the charging light goes off. It charges fine if I do not move it and make sure that the connector is pushed all the way in, but it just seems to me that it should "click" into place more and or at the very least be a tighter fit so that it doesnt stop charging at the slightest movement of the cord.
Thanks for any and all help with these ?'s
(I meant to post this in the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting, my apologies mods, please move if need be)
The charger cable easily comes loose on mine when you move the device, so I would assume that's normal.
I personally don't have any problems with video playback or audio dropping out of sync when sped up, although I personally use mxplayer. Do you have HW decoding turned on in bsplayer or are you using software decoding?
no playback issues here with mx player as well.
I've never had the lag problem either with the ui.
running cm 10.1 7/19 build.

As someone who owned a Touchpad, I can tell you right now, the hardware in the Nook HD/HD+ is way more powerful than the TP. There is virtually no lag on the Nook and we don't even have overclock abilities (and I had my TP on 2.1ghz). The fact is only has two cores seems to be a non-issue, in fact my last tablet was an N7 gen 1, and this is easily just as smooth/lag free. Also I have no problems play HD content on my Nook. I use Plex's built in player (for streaming) and Rockplayer (for local).
I've noticed in mxplayer, the HW+ decoder drops some frames with videos using certain codecs. Switching to HW or SW might fix your frame drop issues.
I've owned the Touchpad and now the Nook HD+, and have used both extensively. Firstly, the HD+ definitely has superior hardware to the TP. However I think that the 1080p display can sometimes push the HD+ to its limit. The TP's display is 1024x768, so it has to push much less pixels.

I tried both hardware and software decoding on BSPlayer... tried MXPlayer as well...I thought about trying dice player and rockplayer but ehh I think I got a lemon tablet so why try ...I even tried on demand then performance in cpu power settings...but its not just video playback... reading pdfs its rendering is slow... and I am talking about stuff that my GS2 and Touchpad did easily, same files, using the same app - moon reader etc.. the video is low resolution stuff even so it shouldnt be a problem for the HD+...and I dont have any other apps installed other than what came on the rom, bsplayer, moon reader and es file explorer...no background items running etc... they only way I can really describe its laggy-ness is its as if I was running windows 7 on an old pentium 4 with 512mb RAM...and trying to multi task watching a video in the background and then trying to play a game or something it would choke it...
I think I got a "lemon" as I believe it was a returned tablet bc it wasnt sealed and it had fingerprints on it etc but it was wiped fresh to stock and once I cleaned off the fingerprints it was perfect so I decided to keep it... but now I think the person returned it bc they either screwed it up or it was a lemon to begin with... wonder if I can get a new one under warranty of some sorts...

Like I said its low resolution re-encodes... I tried all kinds of formats and resolutions....360p mp4s downloaded from youtube, 480p mkvs, 720p mkvs, avi's etc... all the same result...
My nook HD Plus plays all videos smoothly using either MX player or diceplayer. The H 264 codec is the best to use. I don't I know how it would play other codecs like windows video . I'm currently using carbon rom which runs very smoothly and quickly. I recommend that you load the video files to the internal storage and play them from there. Depending on how your SD card storage performs, your performance will vary playing from there.

I have tried all the "good" players (bsplayer, diceplayer, mx player) using various codecs/file types/resolutions/my own rips, DL rips and even downloaded youtube videos to get a varried range of stuff to try etc and am using the latest carbon rom (but I also side loaded the apps in the native nook stock OS and had the same poor video viewing results)... ive tried running them off the internal storage space and various 8GB class 2, 4 cards and 32GB class 4 and class 10 cards... all give the same choppy result dropping frames if I set it up that way or it goes out of sync if you dont set it up to drop frames to keep up...
but even then, PDFs are rendering noticeable slower than my CM9 Touchpad...
I guess something is wrong with my nook HD+...
ill have to try warranty claim or use my CC benefits to get it taken care of if B&N wont take it back... anyone have any experience with warranty and the nook HD+ or any advice....(I know ill have to return it back to stock and FYI I got it at the end of July at Office Max)

What are you using for pdf files? Try Adobe Reader, which I find is really smooth on the nook. Also make sure you turn on "force gpu rendering" in androids developer options (in settings) otherwise Adobe is a bit choppy.
PDFs demand a lot of CPU power and the 1920x1280 makes even more work of it.

Can you help me?
I have Atrix HD with 32 G micro sd card, if i use the camera in camcorder mod (mp4 video codec) the camera and gallery freeze and reboot the phone.
After power on the phone gallery and camera works, just potrait mode if i rotate in landscape mod freeze and reboot.
But i use with this camcorder settings: Video codec: H.264 and AAC audio codec, Usually work fine.
But if i want look back (images, videos) from the camera i look after the system freeze for 4-5 pieces images.
This problem is at present all cm11 rom me.
The former had no such trouble with cm11 roms
Present rom Validus-6.1.
Thank you in advance for your help
Maybe a bad install or a bug in the ROM. Probably not your micro SD card but it could be? If the card isn't fast enough to take high quality video then than could cause crashes. I don't take a lot of videos or pictures so I'm just spouting my limited knowledge.
