Work Around - AT&T Tilt / HTC Kaiser: Poor video performance

 

I just discovered one work around for TCPMP playing video on the Tilt / HTC Kaiser to make it less of a jumbled mess:

(1) Options -> Video -> Video Driver: GDI (or Raw Framebuffer); not DirectDraw.

(2) Options -> Video -> Quality -> Low

Since the ROM video drivers are crap, this avoids the frame drop. The video I watched didn't get out of sync with the audio anymore (good) but hit occasional fuzziness due to the lower quality setting.

So that works for TCPMP. I didn't see anything off-hand for Windows Media Player.

Oh, and if you're a Tilt / HTC Kaiser owner and not happy about the choppy video and want a small moment of relief: HTC TyTN II Video Driver Petition. And seek solace on the XDA thread: Petition opened for HTC - 2481 signatures - spread the word - xda-developers.
