Looking for optimal AVI specs for some devices I own

[Shilar]

Needless to say, thanks to iriver and the freeware iriverter, I'm a big fan of AVI. What I need to know, for scripting purposes, are the most optimal specs for these devices:

1> Gamepark's GP-32
2> Gamepark's GP-2X
3> Phillips DVP-642 DVD/Divx player

I know on the 642, some of my videos play fine, others play with the top and bottom cut, and others tend to make the player puke. Specific optimal specs I'd like. So far as general specs, I have what you don't want for the Phillips:

1) Packed bitstream.
2) QPel (Quarter pixel)
3) GMC
4) Video bitrates higher than 2000 Kbps
5) Resolutions greater than 720x576

So, please optimals?

Try this: https://www.videohelp.com/tools/AVI_ReComp

Works great for fixing avi files that don't playback properly.

As for videos that playback with the screen cut off, check the resolution. It's likely those aren't in a standard resolution (PAL videos output to NTSC TV for instance...or vice versa).

Actually, they are NTSC, just didn't like them. I just need the technical specs.

Phillips DVP-642 DVD/Divx player

Best maximum resolution for 16x9 AVI is 640x352. Anything larger gets squeezed up to full screen. Always had best results with Xvid at 1600-1800kbs and MP3 audio at 224k.

Thank you. I'll save that part (cause I use a 16x9 TV). Would 640x480 be good for normal viewing, ala 4:3?

So far, I found the GP2X can handle 640x480 using the same video/audio encodings of the DVP presented. Baiscally, for Iriverter fans, here you go:

For DVP-642 SD (4:3), and GP2X:

maxVideoBitrate=1800
maxAudioBitrate=224
dimensions=640x480
maxFrameRate=30
wrapperFormat=avi
audioFormat=mp3

For DVP 642 WS (16:9):

maxVideoBitrate=1800
maxAudioBitrate=224
dimensions=640x352
maxFrameRate=30
wrapperFormat=avi
audioFormat=mp3

As far as GP2X goes, no trial on 320x240 (another rumored item). Hey, think maybe this should be a sticky?
