Philips DVP 630, jumping a few seconds of a film.

castellanos · 22nd April 2007, 18:47

Hi there!
I don’t know where to put this; I guess it’s a problem with my standalone, so here I go.
I’ve made long ago a backup with my own subtitles of “Back To The Future” trilogy; all 3 of them were made with DivX 3.11 / Ac3 under AVI, 2CDs each.
So, in order to save time and not to encode the DVDs again, I rejoined the avis using VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.1.
It works perfectly on my computer, but when I look the movie on my standalone (Philips DVP 630), just in the place where the avis were joined, the player jumps like 8 seconds of the film.
Any idea why is that happening?

Greetings!

Hmmm...

Some player and chip-set manufacturers seem to be providing very limited support for DivX3.xx these-days. And given DivX3 does not actually conform to the official ISO/IEC 14496 specification, their actions are not really that surprising.

Cheers

@castellanos

Hi!

As an experiment, try loading one of the joined .AVIs from your DVD into VirtualDubMOD (with both "Video" and "Audio" set to "Direct Stream Copy") and save with a new name - and burn to DVD...

Hi,

Have you tried not joining the avis part; just renaming and burning on DVD(+-RW) like BTF_00.avi BTF_01.avi etc... to see if you have that 8s break?

Nice ideas...
I will try them and report back.
Thanks!

I'm back... and not from the future

Well, I've tried your suggestion setarip_old, but the result was the same.
I don't remember which program I used to cut the avi into 2CDs, the thing is that a few frames were repeted at the begining of the second part (from the first part), I cutted them and I join the avis
exactly as the film is. Is that may be the problem?
As I said before it works perfectly on my computer and it looks very good on the standalone, except of those seconds.
Well, may be I'll have to re-encode everything again... something positive: The codec is much better now.

Greetings!

Sounds like you originally didn't cut on a keyframe.

What do you mean?

There's nothing that you've posted in this thread about a codec...

Hi,

I suppose/believe that Castellanos wants to point out that the actuals codecs (Divx6/Xvid 1.2) are compressing/encoding much better than what the DivX 3.11 have done in the past . ..

Exactly!

I don't remember the program I used before, but I think almost all of them cut the avis on a keyframe and as well as I know, VirtualDubMod doesn't let you cut the avi if is not on a keyframe... or am I wrong?

Please remember, the Philips DVP630 is a CE (Consumer Electronic) device, not a computer. Computers can do a LOT more than a CE device. Just because a file plays on your computer in a "software" player does not automatically qualify it to play back in a "hardware" player.

Of course...
