Hi all,
we bought this dvd player as a present for my grandfather to make him possible to play old videos archived on DVD and also to play some documentary films from internet 
Unfortunately as I performed some short test I found these problems:
1) home videos grabbed from VHS and other analog sources (25 fps, PAL 720x576) to DIVX5 with Plextor ConvertX PX-M402U and cut in Virtualdub on key frames (Direct Stream Copy)
- on PC it seems to be OK, but the DVD player plays sometimes only the sound
Is there any way to find "problem videos" with some tool? I have many videos and do not want to recompress all of them if not necessary.
2)"Resolution not supported"
- I have series of documentary films, all XVID, first part (704 x 416) 780 HX refuses to play, second (672 x 400) plays without problem
This is strange because it is not more than 720x576, so I have no idea why it does not work.
PS: I attached GSPOT dumps for both files (videos separated by stars, because I cannot attach more than one file here)

If they wont play on your hardware then the only real option you have is to re-encode them. re-encode first ones to the same spec as the second ones . The error message may not be telling the truth. Get a two minute sample and try encoding it at various levels .. many things need to be multiple of 8 or 16 in avi files. Cutting in Virtualdub is probably a bad thing, you are buggerring up the index file. Editing should be done on the source(mpeg2) THEN encode to divx/xvid.

That is a little bit problem, when there is no source mpeg2 file (movies from internet - downloading movies/music from *share is legal in our country) and in other case also no more source analog media (VHS, VHS-C tapes).
OK, for those DIVX5 files, I finally converted them into XVID via Avidemux with settings "Same quantizer as source" which seems to have the same profile as files which the DVD player successfully played.

VirtualDub creates a new keyframe index. There's nothing wrong with using VirtualDub for this.
