divx 3.11 hardware player

[sNNooPY]

is there any player capable of fully reproducing divx 3.11 material? by fully I mean with no glitches, picture freeze, etc.

As far as I'm aware.... all DivX "certified" players, should be able to play DivX3 video within the .AVI container.

you missed the point (or I haven't made myself quite clear).
In my case, I've got a Kiss DP-1000. IT CAN play divx 3.11, but in high complex scenes, the picture freezes, stutters, etc.
We've touched the matter here od Doom9, I believe. It had to do with the decoding chip in Kiss and all other players at that time: the chip itself cannot play divx 3.11 complex scenes without the picture falling apart.
see what I mean?
Is there ANY player out there equiped with a chip that can decode divx 3.11 properly?

see what I mean?Errrrm no!

You will need to provide more detailed information about your problem DivX3 files before being able to determine your problem.... A sample would be handy too!

But in all honesty DivX3 is long dead... It does not even conform to the MPEG-4 ISO/IEE standard.

So with that in mind I can't understand why DivX bothered to include within their certification for stand-alone players/devices.

If I were you I would re-encode to "real" MPEG-4 ;)

Hi!

My Philips DVP 642/37 has no such problem handling any of my DivX v.3.11alpha-compressed .AVIs.

Perhaps you created your .AVIs at too low a bitrate or possibly should have used the "Fast motion" part of the codec instead of the "Low motion" part for some of your conversions...

If you can find a local store that has a Philips (any model that displays the DivX logo) player on display, try playing one of your problematic .AVIs on it and see if it exhibits the same problematic behaviour.

I know that problem

I have some anime in Div3 and they play alright until there is a lot of motion

I don't know if there's any divx player out there that can play all kind of div3 video without a problem but unless all of your DVDtoDivX or anime movies are div3, I wouldnt even bother looking for one

Encoding with certain options as suggested above might solve the problem, but using a player capable of rendering higher bitrates regardless of codec and options is better yet.

From what I understand, the 700 series Philips and other high end machines (like certain Pioneer models) can render smooth video under most circumstances.

I have a Philips 642/37 myself, and it too will freeze, stutter when the bitrate goes too high. It does play most scenes without hiccups however, and since I am too cheap to upgrade I'm sticking with my current unit for the time being, stutter and all. :cool:

convert the divx3 stream losslessly to mpeg-4 asp with the patched ffmpeg tool linked to somewhere in this forum and try if that fixes the playback issues
