video?

[gearheadE34]

i keep hearing vauge reports of people who have gotten RVF videos to work on their H1xxs. i have even stumbled across a video of an H1xx playng shrek. i cant seem to find out where a patch could be or if there even is one. as far as i know, video is possible because it will play on various Rockbox'd archoses, and the h100 is far more powerful. the only problem ive heard about is the slow screen refresh rate and lack of color....

if there is a patch, could someone direct me to it? thnx

great job on everything..hvnt booted to iriver for many months now...

the video was made by Wett, and he is still working on the Synchronizing part of the picture and the music.

thnx, that clears things up a bit.

out of curiosity, what is an RVF file? i heard it stood for "real video file" or something, but im not sure...

what's the point of playing video of the H1xx series anyway ? Black and White, low resolution - or am I missing something ?!

bragging rights, cool factor, and the fact that u can play short videoes if you want to rather than having to get a different device to play it. otherwise, it is somewhat pointless.......

Someone said it before: it would be good for watching comedians, as sometimes you have to see them to understand a joke/skit/etc. And a comedian on a stage doesn't need to be that clear...

Cartoons might turn out OK too. A good time killer.

[NPswimdude500]

for sure black & white movies would turn out better.

Casablanca anyone?

because we can. hopefully.

I'm been dreaming about this feature for the exact purpose of watching old Dr Who episodes on my iRiver.
This would really be ideal for anything that doesn't contain a lot of visual action. Like comedy or old British Sci-Fi.   Some cartoons might not translate as well.

i've somehow contacted the guy and tested an unstable version of it
its actually very enjoyable
i've sent him a few feedbacks but he has not replied to my last feedback, which was like a month or two ago.
the version i got did not support fullscreen nor unicode so i decided not to use it until those issues are resolved....
oh yeah, sound was synced at that point

[Hweb21]

oh, do u mind posting the unstable version, so maybe people can try to fix it?

oh, ya when i contacted him he said the sound was not done and he need some tool to finish it, some guy name Dragon (the original rbv maker) but that was a long time ago, so sorry for that post, should have gotten the facts right.
