elta 8883... Compatability report

[plazz2000]

I'm been using an elta 8883 player for a few days now (with the 17/12 firmware). I've had a few problems with playback. Most are audio desync related.

I have a number of AVI's, encoded with XviD (no bframes, no QpeL and no GMC) with 128k VBR MP3. The video on all of these is 23.976fps, about 1000kbps.

When I open them in Gspot, in the "I/L" (interlacing) field, some say:

1 vid frame (42 ms), p=480 Split: No

These videos play perfectly on the player.

But 3 of the videos say something different in the "I/L" field, they say:

1 vid frame (42 ms) NG=1128 Split: Yes
1 vid frame (42 ms) NG=600 Split: Yes
1 vid frame (42 ms) NG=648 Split: Yes

When I play these on the elta 8883, the audio is about a second ahead of the video.

Can someone tell me what "p=480", NG=... and Split mean?

A post in another thread here also reports problems with "Split: Yes" files on the Medion 7457 player.

I have tried to run the problem AVIs through VDubMod and Nandub, but the resulting files have the same sync problems.

Does anyone know of another method to rebuild these AVIs?

"I have a number of AVI's which I have downloaded"

forum rule 6 better you read that first ;)

[oddball]

Since when has downloading AVI's been against the rules?

Hi-

Downloading .avi's isn't against the rules. We can't tell you what to do in the privacy of your own home (the MPAA notwithstanding). But discussing them, or providing help for them, is definitely against the rules here. For more information, please see Rule 6 (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm). And if your comeback is "How do we know his .avi's were made from copyrighted material?", then please read this Announcement (http://forum.doom9.org/announcement.php?s=&forumid=6). CruNcher was perfectly right.

If they were naming titles of the stuff they were downloading I'd tend to agree with the rule.

No one much cares what you think. Those are the rules, the same ones you agreed to respect when you registered.

@oddball: you do realize that this confession could get the MPAA police on your trail. If they ever come to me and ask for your personal data, then I'll have no choice but to hand it all out. You're making yourself a target this way.

You can do whatever you please in your own 4 walls, but please don't bring it here. As long as it stays in your own house, whatever you do that is against the law is a matter between you and lawmakers and don't concerns me, but if you bring it here, it concerns me too and I don't need people to bring unwanted attention here. We'll gladly remove any r6 strikes if the person can prove beyond reasonable doubt that the files in question are legit. But since that is hard, you better don't get yourself in a situation that needs explaining. And now don't whine about free speech because protecting this community requires a certain amount of censorhip for the good of every single member.

I hope you wouldn't give out personal information unless they have concrete evidence of wrongdoing. Downloading AVI files is no more criminal than downloading anything else off the internet. I don't see why it should attract attention unless there was some indication the files are copyrighted. Banning any general talk of downloading video/audio files seems like overkill to me.

I'm interested in seeing some response to the prob he encountered... perhaps someone should re-post in another thread with the offending words taken out.

Done. Sorry, I didn't realise I was breaking the rules.

Another question about the Mediatek chipset, what is the highest bitrate MPEG4 video that it can decode? I've had trouble with a 2.5MBit Divx5 clip, but that might be related to my original problem.

So basically, I'm wondering if there is another AVI muxer apart from Vdub/Nandub and AVIMuxGUI.

[Zhnujm]

I have no problem playing an average 10MBit clip from DVD with the elta.
If you use CDs the limit is much lower.
Some test encodings with 4MBit seem to work, but 6MBit fails.
Maybe your peak bitrate is to high ? Or the elta did not like the cd ?

[plazz2000]

The problem with the 2MBit video was the file itself I think. There are sync problems even on playing it on a PC.

have in mind that CD-R/RW media normally have a penalty on read speed... do not know the elta's dvd drive speed for CD's (I've just bought one, no time to deeply try it). although, 2.5mbps on DVD media should be no prob at all
