Divx Ultra .divx files on philips DVP5140

[marioval]

I can watch AVI Divx files on this player with no problem that are burned to cd or dvd. The file list browser interface is ugly but it works. I recently created a .divx file with divxmediabuilder that included a menu, chapters and subtitles. My resulting .divx file played fine on my PC using Divx Player 7, the menus, subs, and chapters all work as well. However when I burned this .divx file to a dvd and popped it in the 5140 I just see the .divx file in the standard file list, the same as when i just burn the avi to a disk, no menus. I can play the file but none of the "Divx Ultra" stuff seems to be working and this is a Divx Ultra Certified Player? Any thoughts? Thanks

Yes. I told you in another thread that DivxMediaBuilder (which is freeware) probably doesn't generate the correct format for Divx Ultra. Why do you refuse to believe that this could be the reason?

I have another thought. Why don't you contact the folks at Divx.com about this? Since this player is supposedly certified by them, ask them why it's not working as you expect. Maybe they can officially confirm what I already said. Or maybe they will tell you that what they certified that the player could do is not exactly what you think it means. I hope that's not the case but I can't rule it out offhand.

My original post was in the "Authoring Forum". I posted here in the Hardware forum to see if anyone else who has this player may have had the same problem and found a solution. It may have nothing to do with divxmediabuilder.

I have a Philips DVP5990 and the program generates working Title and Chapter menus that play ok.

per jman98's suggestion, I have posted this question at the divx.com forums.
