Neuros Technology Forums

What bothers me, is the fact I've recored many many movies off air, edited out the commercials, archived them onto DVDs as data files -- stored them on dvd-r disks so that some day I could someday simply transfer the mp4 files over to the psp and watch them on a flight or long road trip etc.

Now, it appears,  all those saved movies (already commercial free) will no longer play on version 2.7 -- EVEN IF NEUROS fixes the problem now confronting us, All the OLD files saved -- will also be unplayable unless SONY modifies firmware 2.7. Which I doubt will ever happen.

I might as well throw out all those movies I've edited and saved in mp4 format and stored on disk.

What a bummer!

I've confirmed again that Neuros Recorder 2 will NOT WORK under psp firmware 2.7. I've even tried formatting sticks with the new firmware -- re-recording video off air -- re-inserting the stick and still no go.

Warning -- once upgrading to 2.7 it appears it is impossible to go back to 2.6 -- at least at this time.

Other mpeg 4 files play fine under 2.7 -- but not Neuros.

fyi

I've just upgraded to SONY's new PSP version 2.7 and now video recorded on the Neuros Mpeg Recorder 2 will NOT play. Is it just me, or is anyone else having this problem? The PSP shows the thumbnail put when I try to play it states "this video cannot be displayed".

2.7 WILL play "other" mp4 files downloaded from the net ... but not Neuros recorded files. Version 2.6 played them perfectly.

Also, the above mentioned video WILL play perfectly on my computer quicktime player -- but not in the PSP.

Anyone else with this problem?  Any thoughts?

Cheers

Formatting seems to help. I formatted the faster of my two 1gb sticks (the blue Sandisk) and a movie that previously gave me trouble played in sync right to the end. I also noticed the little red blinking light on the left of the PSP (indicating that the psp was "reading" the flash memory) was hardly blinking at all this time. Previously, when I had sync problems, you could see that light flashing much more frequently... indicating that the psp was searching for "fragments" of data and thus slowing everything down.

So even though "deleting" large files, there still seems to be some fragmentation on the flash memory. The only way I can see to solve this is to format the card using the PSP (or possibly a card reader). Unfortunately, you lose everything, including any songs, photos, or favourite web sites stored on that card.

I guess one solution would be relegate one card for movies, and another (smaller card) for everything else.

Hope this helps.

I have a sandisk blue 1gb card and a sony black 1gb card. The sandisk I find has a faster data transfer rate. But the problem persists on BOTH cards and it really doesn't matter which movie I load onto them.

I will however, try formatting one of the cards and do a retest.

I too am having this same problem.

Video is recorded on the Neuros ... quality is "normal" QvGA. Recorder is version 2 (PSP). Playback is on a 1GB memory duo pro stick. File size is about 700MB.

About an hour into the movie, sync issues arise. And yes, fast forwarding or stopping and starting resets the sync ... by the end of the movie, playback is unwatchable with video far behind audio.

Any solutions?

PS: This is never an issue with shorter movie files (one hour or less)

Thanks
