We have released PocketTV Classic 0.14.15, with some noticeable performance improvements when video is scaled.
You can download your free copy from www.pockettv.com (http://www.pockettv.com).
The new version is capable of scaling the video when playing fullscreen (the old one could not), and the scaling routine much faster even when playing in normal, portrait orientation. Performance gain (when the video is scaled) is up to 300-500%!
Check out this MPEG Guide (http://forum.pocketmovies.net/viewtopic.php?p=3415#3415) to convert videos and DVD's into MPEG for Smartphone.
If you have a Smartphone on which this new PocketTV does not work, please let us know and will try to fix it.
The last update of PocketTV (0.12.2) was released 6 months ago, so if you want to know the details, please read the release notes at www.pockettv.com/release-notes.html .
If you have never used PocketTV, it plays MPEG-1 files (extension .mpg or .mpeg) on Smartphones and Pocket PC's. You will get better performances with files that are made with parameters optimized for Smartphone (see Guide above). Correctly encoded MPEG files are 1.5 to 2 times larger than DivX files for the same quality and resolution, so DivX files take less memory, but many people like using MPEG for various reasons.
The PocketTV User Interface is very simple and intuitive, and most common functions are mapped on some buttons. The "OK" button switches between Portrait and Landscape, "0" switches between "Fit Screen" and "Nominal Size", UP/DOWN control the brightness, RIGHT/LEFT seeks back and forth in the file, VOLUME +/- control the volume, "9" capture an image to email it to a friend, etc. You can naturally customize the button "Hot Key" functions. There is a full Help, too, available from the PocketTV Menu.
Enjoy!
