XviD 720x544 shaking on DVD Player with DivX support

[geodeejay]

Hello Doom9's admins :)

First time: i'm noob here and i have a big problem with XviD files.

I have a camcorder Panasonic NV-GS17 E series.
From DV Camera to computer movie is transferred with Pinnacle Studio 10 from FireWare port.All is working fine after the movie is modified by me and saved as... with new name in miniDV format (1 Hour = 13 GB).Good.
Now that movie is compressed with Auto GK in XviD format at 720x544 in just 1 CD. This is good to me.Quality is HI and i'm very happy.

The problem is that movie not play correctly on DVD Player with DivX support.My image its shakin` in a half of screen.
In DivX format at 720x544 is working fine... but the quality viewed by me on computer is little low in compare with XviD.Some little pixels is see in DivX format...

Please answer me....
I think in XviD format the resolution in compression is too big (720x544) and the DivX Player not support this resolution like DVD format ???

Thx in advance and sorry for my pour english.
Best regards,
Geo

Could be that the bitrate is too big for a CD. Data transfer should be faster with DVD so you could try a DVD±RW. Then again if the DivX encode was the same bitrate and that played ok from CD, then that isn't it.

Ok.I see the properties of my movie and remember this movie is compressed with Auto GK with XviD compression.
The properties of my movie is:

Resolution: 720x544
AUDIO
Duration: 00:44:07
Bit Rate: 113 kbps
Audio Format: Lame MP3
VIDEO:
Framerate: 25 frames/second
Data rate: 270 kbps
Video sample size: 12 Bit
Video compression: XVID

I think is too big the resolution for XviD format and is not tested by me with little resolution on DVD Player with DivX support.
All movies downloaded from Internet in XviD format not have that resolution like my movie resolution, is too little, under 700 (width) and all is played very good.
I try too make a little resolution ....under 720x544.

Please answer me about that properties...

Best regards,
Geo

720x544 is not a problem, most can support up to 720x576
check the manual of your drive, look for thing like

Global Motion Compensation
Quartel Pixel

check whether they are supported

and also

2 consecutive b-frames, that's the default value of XviD
try 1 instead

In manual is not writed the resolution supported.
The movie is shaking at my friends who have DVD Player with different firmware like Panasonic, LG, etc.
I have Samsung, HTP10, Home Theatre Kit.
Tomorrow i test the new little resolution.

I try to enable the Global Motion Compensation and Quartel Pixel.


Thx and any sugestions?

Hardware players usually don't support XviD's GMC -- they only support the useless 1-warppoint-GMC which i.e. DivX provides. Also, QPel is problematic with many standalon players. You shouldn't use it if you're aiming for standalone compatibility.

A short search for "standalone compatibility" would help you finding the "guilty" settings.
