bad skipping in movies

[kingsizeriz]

I have a 2gb micro sd card, so naturally i thought "ill put a movie on it" however when trying to play the movie it skips unbareably, the audio skips the video stops etc.
is this a common problem / is it easy to fix?

i am using tcpmp
herm 100
crc 9.1

thank you

I had horrible luck with TCPMP. For movies now I use a converter to put them into MP4 with XVid and play them back with WMP. No issues and crystal clear.

Did you set it to raw frame buffer?

Did you set it to raw frame buffer?

I have mine set to raw frame buffer, and have no issues with the picture. Only issue is if I fast forward - the sound skips horribly.

okay i kinda sorted it..
basically the scroll wheel on the side plays a huge part.. when i rotate it it starts to play at full speed :S and no skips but then some weird lag in video/ pixelisation.. trying to sort it

Raw frame buffer causes major slowdowns in video playback for me.

I regulary watch movies or tv episodes on my hermes.
First, have you got the movie in the right resolution? Pocketdivxencoder (http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/) will convert it down to 320*240 so your phone can handle it easily. I then had the problem that the hermes couldn't support playing the video and outputing the sound over A2DP, and solved this with coreplayer (http://coreplayer.com/content/view/28/69/), which unfortunately isnt free, (about £15), but works perfectly for me.
