Mebook part 3 :Remain modes preview

IN this part no pictures will be used due to a spacial problem (just text )

Picture mode

My third fav mode that by the way replaces my photo frame due to itsportability . The photo frame requires a constant connection to its mains plug !

Formats tested:

• JPG :  yes
• Gif !!! yes  (unlisted )

• Animated gif yes!!
• png yes!!

Tested  with several  jpg  formats   from internet , from various cameras and all shown OK and with great

andclear picture 

There is a browser mode from image settings menu  that supports  picture playback , with time interval between 5 and 15 secs

Rotation and resizing also available from image settings menu

Smaller pictures (below 800 pixels? ) are turned clockwise  and are shown in landscape!

A low battery consumption mode! With battery level of below 5% (red level )it can  operate for more than  35 minutes!

Rate 4/5 (I did not like the image rotation )

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Video mode This is my second favorite  mode due to its impressive format compatibility. Higher  definitions  from 720 pixel and above found not to operate (didn’t test for avi but mp4 mkv and flv did not play thus I can assume  the same for avi ) Very useful for  offline watching videos from Youtube.

Also be noticed  that most of the formats below  are containers , ie include other video formats For example  avi can include xvid or divx encodings . Flv can contain either the proprietary flash or even mpg

• Avi yes

• Avi from photo camera  no (this is mjpg format  and not supported )

• Mp4 yes

• Flv yes   as container , but supports  mpg and flash video formats

• Rmvb yes

• Mov yes

• Mkv yes

Resolutions equal or above 720 cannot be rendered

Srt  subtitles supported and synched

Resume playback supported with dialog (is shows: continue last play?)

3 levels of contrast

3 levels of video size : Original , normal , full

Rating 4.5/5

----------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Radio mode (another mode not so interested )

These are 4 radio zones  to cover: China , Japan USA Europe Campus (??)

Every radio zone  retains its memories – resetting from main menu deletes all memories

Audio modes are labelled in reverse  : stereo works as  mono, mono mode as stereo 

Active display interferes into  the radio reception producing  cracks and hums . These sounds effect the recording

Sensitivity : poor .

Rating : 3/5

-----------------------------------------

 

Recording mode

There are  3 settings for recording  level  but  I did not found any significant difference

Radio : strong audio levels

Mic:   low audio levels

All modes with 45 kb  WAV possibly ADPCM

Rating 2/5 : No possibility  to change bit rating , not to mention MP3 would be more welcome
