Philips DVP 630, jumping a few seconds of a film.

[castellanos]

Hi there!
I don’t know where to put this; I guess it’s a problem with my standalone, so here I go.
I’ve made long ago a backup with my own subtitles of “Back To The Future” trilogy; all 3 of them were made with DivX 3.11 / Ac3 under AVI, 2CDs each.
So, in order to save time and not to encode the DVDs again, I rejoined the avis using VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.1.
It works perfectly on my computer, but when I look the movie on my standalone (Philips DVP 630), just in the place where the avis were joined, the player jumps like 8 seconds of the film.
Any idea why is that happening?

Greetings! :)

Hmmm...

Some player and chip-set manufacturers seem to be providing very limited support for DivX3.xx these-days. And given DivX3 does not actually conform to the official ISO/IEC 14496 specification, their actions are not really that surprising.

Hi!

As an experiment, try loading one of the joined .AVIs from your DVD into VirtualDubMOD (with both "Video" and "Audio" set to "Direct Stream Copy") and save with a new name - and burn to DVD...

Hi,

Have you tried not joining the avis part; just renaming and burning on DVD(+-RW) like BTF_00.avi BTF_01.avi etc... to see if you have that 8s break?

Nice ideas...
I will try them and report back.
Thanks! :)

I'm back... and not from the future :D
Well, I've tried your suggestion setarip_old, but the result was the same.
I don't remember which program I used to cut the avi into 2CDs, the thing is that a few frames were repeted at the begining of the second part (from the first part), I cutted them and I join the avis
exactly as the film is. Is that may be the problem?
As I said before it works perfectly on my computer and it looks very good on the standalone, except of those seconds.
Well, may be I'll have to re-encode everything again... something positive: The codec is much better now. :)

There's nothing that you've posted in this thread about a codec...

Hi,

I suppose/believe that Castellanos wants to point out that the actuals codecs (Divx6/Xvid 1.2) are compressing/encoding much better than what the DivX 3.11 have done in the past . ..

Exactly!

Sounds like you originally didn't cut on a keyframe.
I don't remember the program I used before, but I think almost all of them cut the avis on a keyframe and as well as I know, VirtualDubMod doesn't let you cut the avi if is not on a keyframe... or am I wrong?

As I said before it works perfectly on my computer and it looks very good on the standalone, except of those seconds. Please remember, the Philips DVP630 is a CE (Consumer Electronic) device, not a computer. Computers can do a LOT more than a CE device. Just because a file plays on your computer in a "software" player does not automatically qualify it to play back in a "hardware" player.

Of course...:rolleyes:
