went to my GF and converted & burned video from MKV to AVI using winavi (havent tried to burn mkv and see if that works) . plays well on pc, but when placed in the dvd player it just wont recognize. isnt avi divx format? it says it plays divx files. I also did a dvd video compilation (ifo/bup/vob) and that didnt work.
my other question is the movie is a HD movie and the is not a BD player so im guessing no HD movies. is this a problem? must I change the resolution when converting from mkv to avi or will the dvd play the file at the max resolution it can?
should I use the mp4 format instead? which of these formats I have available should I use to convert the mkv files in winavi?
MPEG-4
ZJMEDIA MP4
XVID
H.264/AVC
MPEG-4 MS variant3
H.263
Any help appreciated

Yes, DVD players almost never support HD Divx. I don't know of any that do but I suppose there might be one somewhere in the world that does.
You need to keep the resolution below 720x576 or you'll likely have problems. I've heard of a few weird cases where 800-something x 200-something worked, but generally speaking if you go above 720 in the horizontal or 576 in the vertical it won't play. Since you live in the US you might want to stick to 720x480 as your resolution limit.
NO, you absolutely should NOT use MP4. That is even less likely to play. You want to use Xvid. And for audio I'd recommend using CBR MP3 for best results. -
some great info. thank will try xvid and see how that goes and will limit my rez to the 480p.
what should a 480p vid in xvid weigh since I have the option to input the size I want.
I dont have cbr mp3. just regular mp3.
thanks again for the help. cheers -
480p = 720x480
With regards to MP3, CBR= Constant Bit Rate. VBR (Variable Bit Rate) doesn't really save much space over CBR and it can introduce synch problems on some players, so that's why I suggest using CBR when possible. If WinAVI doesn't allow you to set that, then there's nothing you can do but hope for the best. -
OK converted the movie to xvid and went to her house to play it but it didnt do a thing. I used a rez of 700x376 which I got from using this website:
http://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/aspect_ratio/ to give me the proper proportions.
it recognized it in the menu but didnt play it at all. in fact it locked up the dvd player to the point I had to unplug it to get any reaction from it. I did burn another movie which played well (IFO/BUP/VOB)
it has divx kodak MP4 logos on the akai player. Should I try to convert it to MP4 and see if that goes?
