Philips DVP630 slows down while playing XviD

[Eruendil]

Hi!

My DVP630 has the following problem :confused: :

It noticeably slows down the video playback (XviD) and the sound stops for a short moment (supposedly to stay synchonized with the video).

This only occurs during fast-motion-scenes, especially, if there is bright light.

Now, I know that high-bitrate-scenes can be a problem. But I encode with max. bitrate of 4000 kbps! The player should be able to handle this, shouldn't it? :angry:

I have studied the forum, but this bitrate thing does not seem to be a known issue. Does anybody know, if there might be a solution? Or is the player broken?

Has anybody experienced something similar? :confused:

THX for reading!

I just converted some movies with AutoGK (ESS-option on).

Although it generally got better, I detected at least one scene that provoked that stuttering of the player. The stuttering in that scene is exactly reproduceable, so it is no "random buffer problem", which does only show once in a while.

Is my player the only one with that problem?

With the best will in the world it's difficult to say for sure what the problems are with any of the Philips DVP6xx range of players!

Although they've been a very popular players (quite a few forum members have them), they've got more than it's fair share of quirks. Some of which are chip-set related, some of which are firmware related.

Personally speaking.... If you are able to replace/swap/return the player.... I would do so!

I have the same player, from my point of view, it is an excelent one... but not 100% compatible with Xvid... I've tried many times to make Xvid backups and the result was all the time jerky.
That's why I use DivX! :sly:
Not the best solution either! :rolleyes:

In one scene XviD with VBV-control works good and in the other scene my 4000-max-bitrate encodes work better (that means not jerky). So much for modern technique :sly: . Perhaps going back to VHS is a solution :D, on the other hand ... no!

I think it's the player's problem.

@ SeeMoreDigital:
Which one do you use (supposedly Mediatek-Chipset...)?
