Question

I've just converted the first part of Mark Khan's flamer kit video as a 30 second/1.3Mb wmv file.

I want to see if it works on a SPV, but I don't have my docking cradle at work!

If you want to give it a go, I'll email it over to you.

Cheers
Andy

You both should have it!

Bruce, if you have an SPV, let me know if it works!

Mark, I'm curious if it works on your PDA. if it does!

Excuse me ignorace, but what's a "SPV"?

All I can think of is Captain Scarlets "Special Patrol Vehicle".

Nimbus, the SPV is a PDA phone only on Orange:



Looks like I need to tinker with the video some more as there is no sound and the picture is a little jerky - Thanks for checking it Bruce!

I've dragged the fps from 20 down to 15!

Reduced the quality of the sound, but it should still be there!

And it's now a 600k file instead of 1Mb, as the file is now 140Kbps instead of 266Kbps!!

As assumed, there is a learning curve with all new toys!!

Andy - you may need to drop it to about 75kbits/sec as you'll find the stuttering to be a pain.

I think we are finally there!

Bruce is checking the latest version, which should be 55Kbps!

66Kbps was still dropping random frames.

I think we are going to keep it like that!!

BUT - it won't re-sample WMV files as far as I'm aware - you need the source AVI.

Not one of these then!




These fast, rocket-armed, heavily armoured and amphibious SPVs constitute the major part of Spectrum's land-based combat section, designed to cope in any emergency.

Based on the Word Army Air-Force "Zeus" combat tank from 2064, the SPVs are armed with a single ground-to-air rocket launcher. These tank-like machines are powered by a removable power pack (with Molecultion batteries for electricity back-up when the power packs is removed, for use as the SPV hover pack, for example), for the electrical systems giving the 20 wheeled (as 10 sets of 2 wheels) SPVs 6-wheeled drive *actually 12 wheeled power, from the 6 sets large, twin wheels). SPVs also possess twin sets of caterpillar-tracks, to assist with extra traction in driving over rough terrain, climbing steep surfaces, etc. The SPVs are 25 feet long, weigh approximately 17,920 Lbs (8 tons) and have a top speed of 200 MPH. Entry/exit of the SPV is via a hydraulic hatch, complete with a single "bucket" seat, which slides outwards form the side of the vehicle. They are a three seaters vehicle (one at each driving position, and one sitting in front of the selector panel between the twin driving seats, constructed at a World Government research establishment in Stockholm, Sweden.

All Spectrum vehicles use a special form of fuel of which every drop is distilled from the ultra-sonic refinery at Bensheba (for land propulsion) and twin aqua-jets mounted at the SPV's rear (for water travel), with a 500 gallon fuel capacity and 25.7 MPG limit, giving a SPV a range of 12,850 miles without refuelling. The SPVs are made form hardened Fleetonium allow (with internal "roll-cage" and bracing) and are silvery-blue in colour. Standard accessories carried by an SPV include twin parachute ejector seats, and removable SPV power pack. The SPV is manouvered by the driver sitting backwards in aircraft type, bucket-seats (facing the rear of the vehicle for safety reasons, watching steering through monitors above the steering bars and controlled by reverse differential, cylindrical hydro-pneumatic steering. With a magnetic-disk, reverse-thrust braking system. The control panel on the left side steering bar allows the raising/lowering of the rear caterpillar tracks, smoke ejection, etc. and the control panel on the lect side steering bar allows the firing of the SPV rocket. SPV also carry a complete set of all coloured helmets, one for each Captain, for some form of interchangeable pack which they move from vehicle to vehicle.

ps they are actually called Spectrum Pursuit Vehicles

Steve

It does work if you use "convert" to Pocket PC format and select a low bit rate.

Thanks to Bruce for testing again!

I've now drop them down to 66-ish Kbps, which means that I can now fit 2 minutes of it on the phone at 900k!

Thanks for the advice BuRR! Getting there slowly but surely!

I guess once one video is out of the way, I should have no issues with fitting a movie on the phone!!!
