Playing DVB on Philips 642--problem

[gilberto]

I have authored a few DVDs using DVB captures, native resolution 528x480. These play fine on my Sony & Mitsubishi DVD players (and look superb). Unfortunately, the video is completely garbed on my Philips 642. It plays SVCD-resolution mpgs burned onto DVDs just fine, but not the DVB resolution. Is there a way to make non-standard DVD resolutions viewable? Is there a header that can be tweaked or something?

Also, what is the upper limit on Divx resolutions that the 642 will play? I have an HDTV-sourced Divx at 1280x720 that will not play. Thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem, although I'm in North America so my vertical resolutions are all 480.

Any how, I have this player for MPEG4 and such, but it wont play DVB files captured and burned onto an ISO dvd or CD.

It WILL play these files if I go through the process of authoring them though.

Some of the captures have to be DVDPatched to DVD reslolution before the authoring program will accept them.

I'm looking for a quick and dirty way to make these mpeg2 streams playable as well.

Kremb, we the opposite problem on the same DVD player. Weird. I am able to play DVB-captured MPGs on ISO cds or DVDs but there is no sound because of the ac3 audio. When I author MPGs to DVDs, the sound plays but video is garbled.
