ok, couple of questions and comments on this player.

first of, great machine, has played damn near everything i have thrown at it,so far about 4-5 no plays out of about 100, 3 due to qpel and two unknown reasons.

has anyone had a prob with memorex dvd-r 4x, i had 6 discs burnt of that media, two played fine, and the other 4 sounded like they were scraping in the maching during load, then 90% of the time those 4 would just have the cd tray re-open without loading. i burnt those 4 movies onto a different dvd-r media and they worked perfectly. so maybe a prob with memorex dvd-r?

also i found that divx files joined with project divx, did not play sound, the unmerged files played fine, and after just doing a quick save as avi in virtual dub, they worked fine

having a few problems trying re-encode the qpel files, when i tried dr divx, they loaded and played, audio was good, but the video was very choppy, like it was misssing every other frame

so i tried virtual dub, but when i load the avi i get error loading frame 0 and then it wont let me do anything.

i searched for days on these forums trying to find a solution that seems to work and have yet to find one, so if anyone has a proven method, please help.

also what causes audio to keep cutting in and out and getting out of sync i have two videos that do this.

i suppose thats all for now

thanks for any help anyone has

only one I can answer is about the memorex media. Memorex dvd-r 4x discs work fine on my player. Memorex uses different manufactures though. The ones I got were prodisc s03's. They work in the xbox too, but my daewoo 5800 won't read 'em so i guess i'm back to riteks or maxells next time around.

whats the media code on your memorex discs.. if its CMC its not working just because they're crappy discs. heh. I think i'm going to avoid memorex next time, cause you never know what you're gonna get with them.

not sure what the media code is or how to check for it
