TCPMP
Fans of DivX encoded videos look out! This is a new program that reads your videos (that you have of course encoded previously with the excellent PocketDivXEncoder ;-)…). I’ll skip its audio capabilities, but know that it reads both MP3s and Ogg Vorbis.
BetaPlayer may not be an inspiring name, and the version number 0.0x may make you fear the worst, but don’t worry. The application is already very well featured, and lives in the shadow of PocketMVP the champion of all categories on this site.
In spite of all my research and my many attempts at testing the menu options, I can assure you that the room for improvement is very small; it contains practically everything that you might want. Of course, you can always hope for improvements in performance or in sound quality, but that remains as final polish.
The interface is very simple, but since I use full screen mode all the time, it doesn’t really concern me. It has everything that you find in a good player: full screen, contrast and luminosity control, image rotation, fast forward, and even a number of parameters (buffer, tolerance to drops) for a Microdrive type disc manager (so as to not have the drive constantly spinning, to save batteries).
Coded by Picard, a celebrity in the world of DivX since he programmed some modified DivX codecs. Without a doubt he has created a valuable program. Note that BetaPlayer now supports MPG and MJPEG.
