Hi,
i'v got an avi container with a Xvid video stream and an mp3 VBR audio stream.
This does not even schow up on my standalone Scott DXi590BK player.
(rtfm does not help much, because the crapy manual says only its kompatible to Xvid,DiviX; video: MPEG2, MPEG4; audio: MPEG1 L1+L2+L3; nothing about usable containers)
So i am thinking about remuxing it to a vob container.
The Xvid video stream schould not need any transcoding.
The mp3 VBR autio schould be transcoded to MPEG2 or AV3 (or MPEG3 CBR).
I tried first with AVIdemux (transcoding also the video) but this was very slow and i ended up with wrong aspect ratio.
too slow
Second try:
I tried to transcode the audio with BeSweet (BeSweetGUI) to AC3 and MPEG2. fast, Ok
I tried to extract the raw Xvid stream with Yamb. fast, ok
I tried to build DVD structure with DVDauthor GUI (or was it GUI for DVDauthor). did not work!
I think the problem ist the raw Xvid stream.
Is there a chain of tools which can do the muxing to vob fast, as there is only transcoding for the audio needed?
Is there another way of convertig so the above mentioned avi could be made compatible to stand alone player?
By the way, it would help a lot if there where a big collection of small films in all known as working on a
standalone player combinations of containers, stream types, FourCCs ...
So one could insert a DVD with that in to any standalone player an check what beast of film this player would accept.
Just an Idee. Such collection does not exist, or?
Thanks in advance
Michael
PS: Im relatively new to video processing and am overwelmed by the sheer amount of available tools.
I'v installed allot of them and wasting my whole spare time testing there usefullness on the problem.
My wife is now complaining so i decided to better ask for assistance.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I don't think you will a software that will let you put xvid in vob.
Can you post the full details from the avi, use mediainfo, open avi, change to view->text and paste here.
But I guess it would be easiest to try reconvert using avi recomp if it's just this avi that wont work. -
Welcome haubmi
Vob is for mpeg2 with ac3 / dts / mp2 audio ... avi video streams = no
Try dvdflick to convert the avi to dvd ... less learning and more action.
Some players come with little in their manuals about specifics for avi support.
One player I bought recently said all ok but these files must be encoded to 720 x 576 in order to work. -

PS: I don't understand wich is the best link for downloading "AVInaptic", as i cant read italian.
What is that on "http://fsinapsi.altervista.org/" under "AVInaptic"? -
From what you have posted I can see no reason for it not to play, and even if something was off about the encoding, it should at least appear in the play list, then get rejected.
What type of media did you burn it to, and with what software ?Read my blog here.

It took about 1hour for ImgTool Classic and ImgBurner to get the DVD.
This would be ok for one time but not acceptable as a standard procedure for viewing .AVIs on my Scott DX i590BK standalone player.
But thank you for your sugestion.

It was on a data DVD with subfolders. Type of raw media i will find out.
The burning programm may have be nero, but consolidating is difficult.
I will try to burn it to a new data DVD without subfolders and a data CD as well (if it fits).
I will use my favorite ImgBurn.
I think i also tried to view it from a memory stick.
And, yes this player only shows files it thinks it can do.
On the memory stick there where protable programms as well and the funny thing it only showed
some splash screen .jpg/.bmp actually many subfolders deep down, as only one level down from toplevel.

PS: If found a hidden setup screen naming some numbers that may be chip ids or the type names of real manufacturer.
Are you interestet? Would that help? -

leghorn, please use English on our site so others can better understand your posts.
Moderator redwudz
But I believe that you are suggesting to try AVIDemux and direct copy the video stream and convert the VBR audio to CBR.
Though I dislike MP3 VBR audio, it should work with most players. But still, worth a try. Thanks. -
Ok, for those not capable of German... 8)
As far as I know, some stand-alone players have difficulties playing avi files with vbr audio. You might try he following:
- open the file in AviDemux
- output file format: avi
- video stream: copy
- audio stream: convert from vbr to cbr
Thanks for the language hint, redwudz. Btw, you were absolutely right -
Hello All,
many thanks too all trying to help.
Issue solved.
"guns1inger" pointed me in the right direction.
You may call me an idiot.
- DVDisaster shows that the disc was almost unplayable with lots of unreadable sectors on two computers
- I did'nt understand the operating concept of the standalon player file menue (nothing about that in the crapy manual):
- there are tree icons at the bottom: an note - for music files, a camera - for picture files and
a red 3angle (a film strip would have been much more intuitive) - for film files
- it only shows files of the selected type (you have to press right arrow to move up from top level for getting to the file type
selection, up down arrow for selecting and Enter to select). Picture files are selected by default if you enter a media.
After correcting filenames to 8.3 removing directory structure joning split avis named ...avi.part (VirtualDub), burning this to disc and using the right operating procedure now every film shows on the standalone player.
Thanks to all

maybe you'd like to buy another player, one which is easier to handle
