Pioneer DV-414 / SVCD / XVCD

[dancoe]

Oh, I'm sorry you were not informed correctly. The Pioneer DV-414 has great difficulty reading SVCD and XVCD. It is possible but it takes quite a skill to achieve. Too much information for me to post, but you are welcome to email me for specs.

I got a Pioneer 414 too. It only play DVD and VCD. Anything else won't play (XVCD, SVCD, XSVCD).
That's why I bought another Pioneer 333 (for half of the 414 price !)

geez, now you're digging up posts from 5 months ago to try and flame me? grow up.

and if you have any real information what's the harm in posting it? it's irrelevant to me anyway, since i sold that player a while back to get the progressive scan one. and actually the 414 can read XVCD as long as you keep the bitrates under 1150, which is pretty lousy quality.

according to a few reports, the 414 and 525 will even read miniDVD if authored properly, but the professional level program required to do that, Scenarist 2.0, runs around $40k US.

You're right. I was acting like little kid and your acting like an adult. You're not making this fun. I concede.

Hi pal,

I've got an DV-414 which I use to play DVDs and VCDs with no problem at all.
But when I try SVCDs ou XVCDs it's not possible, the first one doesn't even
play (the player identify as "CD&quot and the XVCDs plays with very poor
quality at high bitrates.

Can you help me with tips to set that equipment to play those formats?

Tks in advance.

It's a hardware problem.

if it can't play SVCD, XVCD... then it can't play it. there's no fix.

get a new dvd player that will play.
