hi there..

i got a phillips 642/37 with firmware 1223 and i made a Xvid dvd (dvd iso) with nero. i picked the first option which is dvd iso and i loaded 3 Xvid and i did finalize session and disc at once and burned at 4X on a taiyo yuden dvd-r. when i tried to play it.. it would show loading on the screen and after like 15 seconds.. the disc would eject. am i doing anything wrong. please help me or show to a link with proper way to do it.

thanks

Hi!

If your XviD includes some "special" settings, such as QPEL, it won't be playable on a 642/37. The player's documentation lists the limitations...

That is unfortunate; I was going to say something like "If you would of made a real DivX file instead of a an XviD file you wouldn't of had that problem."

What is unfortunate?
- That chase had a bad burn, or
- That chase could solve his problem, AND had the courtesy to report back...

Maybe I did not understand your statement, or is it just a way to introduce/herald/shout loud: "Use DIVX, DIVX is more ..."

If so you may want to read or re-read the sticky made by jggimi: http://forum.doom9.org/announcement.php?f=56 about how to avoid flame wars;

If not so, you can discard my post.

Wow that was a little strong! My comment had nothing to do with the quality of the Codec. But, that I am a strong beleiver in the certification process of DivX. There are many manufactures that have put out marginal equipment saying it will play XviD, and their playback is weak at best. Without certification it is "Buyer Beware".

I tend to Disagree here.. XviD is not a weak playback system in comparison to DivX IMO.. It's just everybody's personal issue.
