hi everybody,
I have red something about using standalone DVD player JVC XV-N5 for SVCD´s made using the software DVD2SVCD. I hope that this is the right forum for information and discussion of that kind (if not, sorry).
I would like to buy standalone DVD player JVC XV-N5, but ...I will describe my experiences: I have prepared few SVCD´s, every with antoher settings (first CD was CVD subtitles, VCDXBuild, two audio streams, second CD was SVCD subtitles, VCDImager .. and so on) and I have gone to the shop. There I tried to play all CD´s here is the result:
1) none of all CD´s show subtitles, although the player sometimes indicates them (in the left upper corner appears an subtitle icon in the start of the playing) and sometimes not.
2) all CD´s correctly play the sound and in all CD´s I was able to switch between two audio strems (and both played correctly).
3) photo CD (format VCD 2.0) with menu and photos worked fine, but I noticed, that colors of all shown photos turned a little bit to green, even if the photos did not include any green parts.
3) the picture of a video was always sharp, perfect visible quality BUT ... THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I NOTICED WAS ... during playback of all CD´s there was always DARK AND LIGHTGREEN COLOR in grey and black areas of video on the sreen. In other words - when the scene on the screen was for example night, night battle or even darker corner of the room, I saw always the mixture of gray-black-GREEN color. I was not able to change the video settings of player to correct this mismatch color reproducing (JVC XV-N5SL has a video-fine-processor with severel modes of video to change the picture - saturation, hue, tint, and so on). No success. In PC I use WinDVD, PowerDVD, I play on my DVD-ROM and CD-R/RW drive, I tried another PC with another graphic card, another CD-ROM ... and I noticed none of the green-color-problem mentioned above. During of my visit in the shop I tried another DVD playd PROLink ... when using this player, the green color was also visible in the dark areas on screen, but not so much. Does this problem appear to somebody else?
Under those circumstances I realized not to buy neither this JVC player, nor the PROLing player. Could somebody help me - what standalone DVD player will work and show correct video and subtitles? Could you give me an advice?
Thank you very much. Johny5
