I'm not neuros employee,

several companies support neuros R2 develop,we are one of them.

a new firmware need some standard test b4 release.

any idea how soon that may be, this week, next week, when?

Thanks

[North]

a complete standard test procedure about 7 days
 
maybe we can focus on mp4 application(the part we modify),that can decrease the period of test(3-5 days)!

north,

Thanks for the update, it would have been nice if someone from Neuros would have actually conveyed this information to its customers.

The staff at Neuros are doing an excellent job!
Like North pointed out, there has not been any official testing done on this "fix" before a release of new firmware. If I was Neuros, I would not be commenting on any software fixes prior to testing it and confirming it first.
Anyone can log in as a user and say they work for Neuros third party
applications development company that has a fix.

They (Neuros) have made comments in this forum saying it was their
number one priority to solve this problem. I am sure they will
upgrade their firmware. Be patient.

I just got the email warning about the firmware from neuros.. at least they are trying to help us out..by sending some form of warning to those who may have not upgraded yet.. too late for me as I am one of the people who came on here after doing the stupid upgrade. Still thanks.

The news of a possible fix is great and  I for one anxiously await..
I can live a little longer as I can still view the vids on my tiny ipod screen.. I miss watching my tv shows and now the playoffs on my large psp screen.. sigh.. hook us up! []

I notice alot of us bitch more than help at times.. myself included.. but the neorus team takes all of our crap and still hands out great customer support.

We've encouraged engineering to communicate directly with users (as noted we couldn't prevent it even if we wanted).  Discussion here may not be official, but hopefully it's still helpful nonetheless.  If you want to try out the new firmware and help with testing, send my an email (jborn at neurostechnology dot com)

h.264 encoding is probably not possible with this hardware, we are looking at it though

In regards to the wish that h.264 should have been incorporated into this.. does this unit even have the capability to encode to that format with just a firmware upgrade? this is a question theat I think the Neuros team would need to answer.
Any answer guys?

I'd like to suggest a conversion application, for those customers with existing videos that they wish to continue viewing on their updated PSP (like teac, above).  Hopefully, such an application wouldn't require anything as time-consuming and quality-degrading as re-encoding the video files  (since other mp4 files apparently still work, I would hope re-encoding is not necessary).

I just hope it doesn't end up being some hurriedly written Windows XP, .Net Framework only application. The only thing worse than having no solution at all to a problem is being offered a solution you can't use. [V]

We are actually testing a few conversion tools. Your suggestions are more than welcome. Our goal is to find  a simple and efficient way to get it done. Based on our tests so far, quite a few free softwares are as good (if not better at times) as their commercial counterparts. I am testing the Core Codec (the makers of TCPMP aka Betaplayer) open source VEMoDe tool and it is very nice. Fast, it offers many different conversion formats (including one for the PSP of course) and is very easy to use. If you want to test it go to http://corecodec.org/projects/vemode/
Let us know what you think. Again, other suggestions are welcome.

Wait so now I am confused. Is neuros going to come up with a firmware update for the PSP problem or are we going to have to use conversion software in order to play our files on the PSP. I am not a computer expert, I only bought this device to record my Cubs games and I am wondering if I will be able to use the Recorder II as I did before or am I now going to have to do something different with conversion software.

Thanks

Jeff

Yes. We are testing a firmware upgrade for the Recorder as we speak. With this new firmware files created by the Recorder 2 will play directly on the PSP without any conversion step: Record, put the memory stick in your PSP and enjoy the show. But we also want to come up with a solution for users who have or will update their PSP to v2.7 and still want to watch videos recorded until now. These files will most likely  have to be converted.

Thanks for clearing that up, I am sorry that I ask a stupid question but some of the other users are asking questions that are way over my head and I was just looking for some clarification.  Any word when we might have that firmware upgrade?

Thanks

I also use an EPSON P2000 to view the recorded content and was wondering if the upgraded firmware might affect that? With the current recorder firmware I was able to watch video on both my PSP (with 2.6) and on the EPSON. I am anticipating that it should not but I thought I would ask.

Thanks
