Where is Simese 2.02? - 2008/11/19 11:57On some movies, I rip a single VOB and then use a program called SUPER to shrink them down to about a 1 gig avi file. Since upgrading to Simese 2.07, these movies now studder when played on the Popcorn Hour (they play fine on the ShowCenter).
I would like to go back to Simese 2.02 to see if the problem goes away but I can't find it.

Re: Where is Simese 2.02? - 2008/11/19 12:19It seems I threw a few files away, but it looks like I still have a 2.0.2 here.

Re: Where is Simese 2.02? - 2008/11/19 12:42Thanks Marco...
Well.. that isn't it.
Darn it.... these AVI files now have a brief pause every 5 or 6 seconds and I'm just stumped.Showcenters 1000g/200/250HD Popcorn Hour A-100 Netgear HDX101 Powerline Adapters Windows XP Simese 2.07 running latest SVN NAS Server IBM NetVista 900Mhz/256RAM

Re: Where is Simese 2.02? - 2008/11/19 13:36Ok .. looking for help here from anyone.
Here is a screenshot of the settings I used in Super to encode the vobs. The AVI files created play just fine on the ShowCenter. The Popcorn Hour hates them causing a pause every 5 or 6 seconds. I get the same result if I play them from SwissCenter or from a network share. Any help or advice would be sincerely appreciated.

Re: Where is Simese 2.02? - 2008/11/19 14:20Have not done this myself for awhile but looking at the info of some existing avi's I'd say your video bitrate is a little high, bring it down to ~800kbps.
Your audio sample rate is low too, maybe better to up the frequency to 48000 and increase bitrate to 128kbps.Player : Netgear EVA700 & Popcorn A-100 (081224) Server : Vista SP1 Home Premium (Simese 2.06, SwissCenter current SVN) Spec : Intel C2Q Q6600, 2GB RAM, 2Tb storage.

Re: Where is Simese 2.02? - 2008/11/19 16:57Word has it that I'm an idiot.
That frame/sec of 25 is a PAL setting and I'm in the land of NTSC so it should be 29.97. Why this made no difference to the ShowCenter is a mystery to me...
Re-encoding a file now to see if that does the trick (no matter what it appears that many files will have to re-encoded) Showcenters 1000g/200/250HD Popcorn Hour A-100 Netgear HDX101 Powerline Adapters Windows XP Simese 2.07 running latest SVN NAS Server IBM NetVista 900Mhz/256RAM

Re: Where is Simese 2.02? - 2008/11/20 10:00For anyone that might someday run into this.
For me, the following settings needed to be changed.
Frame/Sec 23.976
Sampling Freq 48000
Bitrate 128
and the video plays fine.
I find it very interesting that no matter what the settings, the ShowCenter would manage to play the file while the more superior PCH would not.Showcenters 1000g/200/250HD Popcorn Hour A-100 Netgear HDX101 Powerline Adapters Windows XP Simese 2.07 running latest SVN NAS Server IBM NetVista 900Mhz/256RAM
