Movie Won't Play...

[worldwriter]

I'm just curious if I'm doing something wrong, I downloaded a 30 meg Star Wars trailer...(a fairly old trailer) for one of the Jedi SE
It won't play... gp cinema sees it on the smc and knows all about it...kbit/sec, resolution... sound info, I mean it appears to be recognizing the file... do movie files need to be formatted specifically for the gp32? if not any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I go to the file and hit A.... nothing. I can switch my clock speed and everything so the program appears to be running... is it possible gpcinema just doesn't have the codec needed for this file?

Did you try encoding it with virtual dub?

I'm at work.. I can't... was trying to play it as is

I don't think you really read the FAQ, did you? <_<

 

[worldwriter]

Indeed I did. And it works fine now... no worries, thanks guys.

I'm having a similar problem. I've read through the FAQs that are still up, encoded this in three or four different ways, installed the codec again, yet I can't get it to play.

I've got a BLU+ running GPCinema v1 (since 2 doesn't run on a BLU+). The movie (1h33m long) is on my SMC and the information shows up on the file viewer in GPCinema. I press A and nothing happens.

The info:

PLAY TIME 1:33: 4
145 kbit/sec

320x240 10 frame
113 kbit/sec

16000 Hz stereo
32 kbit/sec

I don't know how the above person solved his issue, but mine is still there despite my best efforts.

Your sound is encoded wrong, It should be one of either 11025Hz, 22050Hz or 44100Hz. 16000Hz doesn`t work.

So it won't work at all because of the sound?

I'm gonna reencode this and see what happens.

It won`t work all either without sound of if the sound is in mono too.

You were quite right. It plays now that it's encoded with 11025 Hz audio
Now it works more than perfectly!

Thank you very much for your help.
