Oh dear, clueless people just happen to say lots of stupid thing.
Converting Xvid to H264 in 368x208 ? How more stupid can one be ? Especially with the fact that it will destroy the quality. H264 isn't even made for that kind of poor resolution.
The worst must be "the cell" (what is that exactly ? the main core of the PS3 ?) which is 2x more powerful than a core 2 duo. How more stupid can people be ?
All of that to do streaming quality in one of the more cumbersome setup I ever saw, with a quality poor enough for a WiFi network latency to be enough.
I hope this stupid setup is not in line with the "PSP and PS3 theory".
Ummm... I'm not saying to use that format. However 240kbit, video, 64kbit audio... looks and sounds fine. If you think it dont. You must not have spent the last 4 days, at 10 hours a day, trying to find the optimal compression/decompression. With about 8 codecs.
h.264 looks AWOSOME at low res. Get your stuff right. h.264 is just another MPEG4 codec. It just uses ALOT less power for what you get, as well as the fact it is slightly more compressed.
Yes, your right. It does look like ass at below 160kbit video. But then agian. So does any video. That's almost dialup speed.
I was stuck in a city for 3 days for family reasons. I was near a hot spot the entire time. The slowest one I got was 30Kbs. The same as my upstream. I am quite sure that running a good compression. (MPEG4) It can easily be done to look almost flawless... And work anywhere in the world.
Clueless or not. My idea would work. And clueless or not. It already works in a similar way.
So let's hope the PSP never gets neat funcions like that with the PS3. Becaue it's useless and stupid.
Whoever said memory card.
I can store about 4 hours of video on a 1GB memory stick. When your stuck out of state for 4 days... It is very plausable that you can watch alot more than 4 hours of video.
Second. I dont wanna be stuck buying 2 or 3, 4 and 8gb memory sticks for 100-400$. It's just kinda... expensive. What I am talking about is free.
And for those who say 'Wiiconnect24 would be better than the PS3. Your wrong. The PS3 has standby mode as well.
The Wii/DS could NOT do it. The Wii does not have enough power to encode on the fly, and the DS does not have enough power to decode MPEG4. (and the WiFi chip in the DS sucks compared to the PSP)
The 360/Zune might be able to do it.
