Cayne: I believe that it does. If I use CCE to encode a regular avi file it can run at nearly 100% cpu on both. I have had a look in Task manager under performance and the only process running is cctsp.exe at 98% (both cpus). It is only when I use Avisynth the performance drops.

Toshiba SD-210E
Guys,
there's a hell of a discussion thread on http://www.dvdboard.de - unfortunately, it's completely german. Let me summarize what we have learnt from several german users and the german Toshiba support: a) FW combinations of up to 1.4/1.6 are able to flawlessly play SVCDs; rumours have been told that the latest FW of 1.4/2.1 plays SVCDs without A/V delays, but this needs to be tested in detail. b) The player is sensitive to the quality of the CD Writer - best results have been found using Teac CD-W512EB at max. 8x speed on CD-R! If you burn at higher speeds, the playback will be stuttering... (due to bad drive error correction) c) For up-/downgrading the FW of the 210E, it has to be shipped to Toshiba service - FW update is not possible via CD, but only by using some special cables (JTAG suspected). d) Decoder board is available in two different hardware versions, which can be shown by the letter after the TB: text. So, if you can get some player with FW below or equal 1.4/1.6, you're lucky (like I am ;-)) - otherwise: don't waste any time, return to dealer. |

Thanks Kryzzle, Any change you can let us know exactly how you burn your SVCDs. BBMPEG setting etc... Do you use nero , do you downsample the 48-~>44.1 sound. And the make of the disks you use.
I have tried everything, but if your player is the same as mine and yours works, then I must be doing something wrong. Just can't figure out what it is. Cheers, Rocket. |

First, give me your firmware revisions.
Turn on player, press Zoom, 6, 0, 6, Zoom on remote control. The device will display the boot and main fw revision numbers. Please post them so I can tell you whether or not it's worth to further evaluate your problem... |

Sorry pal, but there's no solution to this other than muxing the stream with an extra time offset - this is a problem of your specific fw revision only.
Since the SD210E in general is a really good device (good sound, very good picture), you should try to convince your dealer to provide you with a downgrade to 1.3/1.4 or upgrade to 1.4/2.1, which is told to be working fine. |

Thanks again, I don't suppose you know what is so special about a TEAC cd writer. As I would prefer to shop around and get one with the same feature. I have never had any trouble in the past with my writer. Also what make TEAC writer should I get any, any one in particular?

Ruben, What cd writer do you have? TEAC?
Has anyone else had any problems because of the make of their cd writer? It just seems a bit odd. It probably is the source of the problem, but why? I have a yamaha SCSI CDR4416SX. Cheers to eveyone so far. |

@rocket_robot:
Looks like the error correction of the SD210E's DVD drive is not one of the best... I guess there are a lot of parameters that could have impact on the readability of a CD-R during the burning process of the disc - like laser pulse timing, rotation speed stability, laser pulse power etc. Have you tried using a Teac drive yet? |

Hi Nasdero,
thanx for updating all the old Toshiba related threads with your info about the new firmware that is supposed to solve the sync-issue. I and sure all the others that are impacted by this problem really appreciate this. Thanx a lot, Gerti

Hi Nasdero,
first, good luck with the hospital thing. And a second one, I heard from the german dvdboard that this firmware does not fix the sync issues. It is said from Toshiba support that there will be another version (2.3) at the end of march that should definitively fix this issue and that the 2.2 FW is only for compatibility issues with some DVDs. That's the reason I did not send in my player yet - I think I will wait till the end of march then. But if you're back on track it would be nice to hear from you again with a report on that - as they didn't say anything about using D2S on the dvdboard. So, perhaps still a little chance that it might work. Greetings, Gerti

Yo I'm still alive
So the palyer is also still alive, but I guess the Sync is better, but not ok, I'm writing an Email to Toshiba right now, I did spend some money for the shipping and 1.5 weeks without my SD210E and the problem is still there, I'll inform you what they will answer. Greetings, Nasdero |

Sehr geehrter Herr *****,
Nach Rücksprache mit dem zuständigen Productmanager habe ich nun erfahren das, das Problem bereits nach Japan weitergeleitet wurde und man sich dort darum kümmert. Vorraussichtlich Ende März wird eine neue Firmware (V2.3) für den SD210E erhältlich sein. Wir bedauern die Umstände und Probleme die Sie mit diesem DVD-Player haben sehr und hoffen Sie haben noch etwas Geduld. Um wieder Probleme und Verärgerungen zu vermeiden wird die neue Firmware wenn Sie denn erhältlich ist erst einmal genau auf die SVCD-tauglichkeit überprüft. Bitte haben Sie noch etwas Geduld, ich schreibe Sie wieder an sobald ich mehr zu diesem Thema weiß. Mit freundlichen Grüssen SB Konzept GmbH Oliver Eigenbrodt --------------------------------- That's means, that the guys in Japan are working on that problem, they wanna test the compatibility with the SVCDs if the new Firmware 2.3 is out and then they wanna inform me by mail. And that means also, that I'll inform you guys. Greetings, ****** oh sorry, Nasdero |

Audio/Video desync
I have found that some DVD players have problems with MPEG PS muxed with bbMPEG.
I noticed the same desyncs you write about on Philips DVD710. I have worked on it and there are my conclusions: 1) It does not make sense to mux audio and video files with audio delay increased for specific player, 'cause there will be desync on another player (try with WinDVD - isn't it?) 2) The best you can do having player with some issues (maybe Toshiba that you write) is to demux bbMPEG_Muxed_FileXX using bbdmux or TMPGEnc MPEG Tools' demuxer and mux again using TMPGEnc muxer. Since then audio and video will be synced. VCDXImager needs some changes in XML script files, but on my players without these changes chapters work OK. |
