View Full Version : Phillips DVP5960 VobSub Timing (Subs Getting Delayed)...

I use my Phillips DVP5960 to watch foreign dramas with Fan Produced subtitles. I put these in .idx/.sub (VobSub) format to make sure they display correctly. I recently noticed that the subtitles seem to lag near the middle-end. I never really had noticed this before, as I thought it was a problem with the subtitles... but watching on my computer there is not a problem.

Is this a known issue with the Phillips 5960, or chipset it uses (Mediatek 1389)? Perhaps a firmware upgrade would help? I'm still running the original firmware.

There are still some testing I need to do. I typically will burn 6 episodes per DVD (Divx/Xvid). It seems like the player is just not keeping up with the .sub file, which can get to be pretty big.

Added: The file I'm watching is a 640x360 file encoded in Xvid, average bit-rate video 1305 kbps, and 192 kbps AC3 output. Pretty sure that makes a difference.

Anyone else have this experience?

Try at board.softpedia.com

They have a thread dedicated to the 5960 (I own one myself) with many different firmwares.

Hope one of them will help you.

All the best,
