Portable VCD/CD player question......

[imdanwhou]

I come to realize that my Apac LV210 that has some protection against playing copyrighted DVD rips. Does anyone have or know of a portable player without this problem?

If you demacrosvision during rip I don't see how it would be able to tell. More likely, there is something about the template you are using that it doesn't like....

I did some experimenting. I did find that vcd's worked when using DVD2AVI to convert vob's directly to AVI's/wav -> mpeg worked as opposed to m2v/wav -> mpeg. I think I will try your suggestion but my problem now is that I have a collection of VCD's that won't play in my portable player.

I would assume get another portable player before I bother rebuilding my collection with disks are that compatible.

I looked up the specs on your VCD player and they weren't very specific. Have you gotten any VCDs to work on your player? Have you gotten any homemade VCDs to work on your player? Are you using the TMPGenc templates? Are you using Nero to burn them?

I have gotten home made VCD's to work in this portable player. (note: My normal pioneer dvd player has no trouble with all of these)

Here are the results when using tmpgenc beta i to encode and NTI 2000 to burn from different sources:
VCR -> Capture card : Works
DVD -> vob -> avi/wav : Works
DVD -> vob -> m2v/wav: Playback is horrible

verdict: not using demacrovision was the problem. thanks
