View Full Version : MMC Card, Software or Codec's Fault RE: ETI Camcorder

The program, ETI Camcorder PRO 2.02, records video (.avi format) directly to either a) the phones memory or b) the MMC card. The shareware version of the program records at full speed to both drives, but when I upgraded to the full version, which was also v.2.02, it's very noticeably slower when recording to the MMC.

Could this be a codec I have installed or the software itself? I can't tell because I was using the shareware version of ETI BEFORE I got the program Smartmovie, which also installed a DivX codec. After using Smartmovie for a while, I entered the key to unlock ETI Camcorder, and the 1st time I ran it, it crashed. Now recording to the MMC makes the video very very slow, AND to top it off, Media Player on my desktop PC cannot find the codec, and I have all the latest, DivX, Xvid, AVI codesc, you name it. I used to be able to transfer/send the .avi's and play them with my existing codecs. Also Smartmovie cannot decode the files BUT ETI Player can decode them.

I've tried uninstalling Smartmovie and it's DivX codec, but it did not change anything, and I cannot downgrade to the Shareware ETI anymore as when I uninstall then REinstall it - I have to enter the key to even use it.

So my questions are:

a) Does anyone know how to COMPLETELY remove ETI Camcorder to start my trial 15 uses over again so I can check recording quality?

b) Does anyone know what's going on and or how to fix it? ie:
-Faster MMC Card?
-Different codec for the phone?
-OLDER version of Smartmovie (I'm using 2.26)

Thank you for any responses!

hi,

I have had the same problem. When recording to phone memory, special in edditing mode, it recs ok, but when I put to rec on my new512 mmc card the fps decreases and looks like the memory card cant asume so many large videos.

Don't worry because I dont think that the prob is with the codecs of the smart movie. Perhaps we will have to wait to upgrade to a newer version and fix this little problem.

If you wanna talk about this, add me to my msn [email protected]. We can share some example videos and compare the differences.

See ya
