Try Simple Media Center (as I said earlier), it plays MP4, and if it doesn't, something is wrong with the files.GmDude wrote::/
I have just tried the latest versions of both.
Neither of them play MP4
This sucks because most of my videos are MP4 for my PSP
Are there any other media players?
It's a well known fact that SMS does not support H.264 encoding at all.GmDude wrote:Video: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
Audio: mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC
In SMS it only plays the Audio track, but no video.
What you ask here has nothing to do with a PS2 console, and even less to do with PS2 program development which is the only purpose of this forum. So I'm afraid you will have to take your problem elsewhere, and the obvious place to start would be the Internet home page of the manufacturers of your MP4 player hardware.saarela wrote:What is the proper way to place music on an Mp4 Player? Yesterday I downloaded a ton of songs and transferred them to my mp4 player. But after I unplugged the player and tried to play the songs I get "Format Error". Was I supposed to use Media Player or some other program to place the songs on the mp4 player?...The first and only method I used was dragging them into the Player (It has no folders, when I open Removable Disk G: it automatically shows the songs) but it seems that that was not the correct way to do it.
psp has hardware h264 decoder. and it uses a nonstandard muxing format for it (most likely to reduce I/O).Apparently it would not be possible for him to design an H.264 decoder producing both decent resolution and decent frame rate, due to limitations of the PS2 resources. I'm not really qualified to verify that as fact myself, but I'm perfectly willing to rely on EEUG's judgment in such things. What he's already done with SMS proves that he knows what he's talking about.
The post by me that you're quoting here was written in February of 2008, almost 22 months ago, and your conclusion is basically the same now as mine was back then, so I see no reason to continue discussion in this thread.yoshi314 wrote:psp has hardware h264 decoder. and it uses a nonstandard muxing format for it (most likely to reduce I/O).Apparently it would not be possible for him to design an H.264 decoder producing both decent resolution and decent frame rate, due to limitations of the PS2 resources.

ps2 has hardware support for mpeg2, and i'm guessing eeug might have adapted this feature to help with mpeg4 (xvid/divx) decoding.
h264 is definitely too cpu intensive, and there is probably no way to use hardware acceleration with ps2 to play it. not to mention that most h264 files come in ridiculously high resolutions, as far as ps2 is concerned ;-)
Tip: when a user has only a single post and they're posting a question which seems off topic, and they have a useless signature like "i need help" at the end of their post, they are actually a spammer. Some day they will come back and change their signature to be full of links for the search engines to pick up.dlanor wrote:What you ask here has nothing to do with a PS2 consolesaarela wrote:What is the proper way to place music on an Mp4 Player?
