I made it onto QJ

I made it onto QJ
... well not exactly.

But they did use my screenshot from the my thread on the PSP-Hacks forum, I know because of a few tell tale signs like the double wave, standard fonts, standard blue background, Shooting Memory Stick and all the flaws of my poorly converted bmp to jpeg screenshot.

Before I leave on my holiday...

Before I leave on my holiday from Perth to Adelaide and possibly on to Melbourne, Sydney and Newcastle; where I might not be able to drop any blog posts.

So I'll leave you'all with my favourite YouTube video to entertain you'all for a little while.

Silence Precision Drill... with an Umbrella.


... if you're saying to yourself "Auhh jono?... why the?, thinking aboot drills again", come on people at least I'm wasn't doing duty at Golf 2 when clearing Leave like somebody!...

Naughty...




Hee hee, look what I've found in my local supermarket.

The Real McCoy is what we have here ladies and gentlemen in powder form.
Not the slacky crappy spray can stuff, which is convenient to say the least but wasteful, expensive and not very effective even in double starch grade.

Luckily I don't wear much clothes that needs starching, you No.3 boys have a go at this. (ie. 'paper'-sleeves)

PMP-AVC vs. Sony VSH AVC (Post C: The Downloads)




Downloadarama:


  • For playback for PMP-AVC video you'll need a PMP Mod AVC player such as, PMP Mod AVC v1.02M-K (Revision K, the latest as of 06MAR07; for those who haven't already got a PMP Mod AVC player)
  • For playback of the AVC in your XMB you'll need Dark Alex's OE custom firmware on your PSP, 3.03 OE-B or newer.


Files that are available to you'all are bulleted and they are available with the help of file factory, so click away:

(Please leave a comment on this post if there's a problem downloading the file(s), I'll try my best to solve it.)


For the PMP-AVC files place them in ms0:PSP\VIDEO:
  • Basic quality PMP-AVC of the Gran Turismo HD video
  • 'Top Quality' PMP-AVC of the Gran Turismo HD video
And for the AVC file to be played back in the VSH, place them in ms0:MP_ROOT\100ANV01:
  • Gran Turismo HD AVC-converted video
  • & accompaning .THM file
Plus lets not forget about MPEG-4, drop this pooper in ms0:VIDEO:
  • Gran Turismo HD MPEG-4 SP-converted video (in improved 368x208 resolution)

PMP-AVC vs. Sony VSH AVC (Post B)

Mini update on the AVC 'testing':
- Screenshots of the PSP XMB courtesy of Screen Video Capture, which have a habit of compromising the quality of the screenshots by overbrightening actual images.
# So for the previously posted screenshots of the front shot of the Subaru Impreza WRC in the XMB actually has lighting detailing in the clouds in the form of some shadowing. But detail of the road surface is more or less the same compared to PMP-AVC.

- Something I did notice when watching my reference video in the XMB AVC, is that it seems to be smoother in terms of frame rate compared to PMP-AVC (for which in these videos are 25FPS).
#(Update: the XMB AVC playback on Quicktime on PC reports the frame rate at 29.97FPS (Playing FPS averaging 30FPS))
Farther investigations of frame rates to follow...

I'll try to find a suitable file hosting to upload the videos for you'all to download on your PSP to watch and compare for yourself.

Music to read this crap "blog" to... Use the pop-out player especially when 'jumping' posts.
