Philips 5982 & 624x352 AVI Playback Problem

[gonwk]

Hi folks,

Friend of mine converted one of his DVDs ... I guess XviD ISO MPEG4 with the Resolution of 624X352 (1.773) at 25fps ... and I can not watch it on my Philips 5982-37.

Q1: Do I have to change the Resolution to something different? If so, to what?

Q2: How would I do it gthe easiest way? AviDemux or VirtualDub?
I know how to use "Fast Decompress" ... but where do I choose different resolution?

Q3: I scanned thru the Philips 5982 PDF Guide and all it tells me is the Max Resolution ... so where do I find what combination of "Resolutions" the dvd player can handle? So, I won't waste you guys time!

THANKS,

G!

The 624x352 frame size and 25 fps frame rate shouldn't be a problem with those players. They can handle up to 720x576. Post what MediaInfo says about the video.

Hi Jagabo,

Thanks for the reply. That's what I thought also ... but when I load it up via my Thumbdrive (8GB) ... it attempts to open up but then Nothing ... No Sound or Picture ... per your recommendation ... here is the Tree Version of MediaInfo ...

Q: Can I just run it thru VirtualDub in Fast Recompress format or something? Might clear up whatevefr glitch it might have!!!

It looks like it should play. Yes, I would try a quick remux with VirtualDub. Also, try Mpeg4Modifier and the Unpack option (if it's "packed").

Hi Jagabo & folks,

Just in a case someone else comes across an AVI like this one ...

I tried the Fast Recompress using XviD in VirtualDub and then used the Mpeg4Modifier ... and the darn thing did NOT work.

So, I tried the XviD4PSP (latest version) ... btw I had never used it before and I chose "Xvid HQ Turbo" for the Vidoe and "MP3 CBR 128K" which was the Default for he Audio and I let it do it's conversion. Since the Original AVI's were 2 CDs ... I did both of them and then Combined them using VDub direct stream copy for both Audio & Video ... file size about 1.18GB. Tried it on my Philips 5982 ... played perfectly with the Exception of about half way in the movie I got jittery playback that usually happens with Packed Bitstream ... this happened for about 1 minute or so then is OK.

Today I combined the the two converted portions with AviDemux and will play it back on Philips and post back my result ... may AviDemux does a better job since it asked me to do something with Timing ... so.

Q1: Does anyone know where I can find a User Guide for XviD4PSP that it will tell me the Differences for all the Different Video Conversion Presets? I had to guess at what I want.

Q2: Can I use Xvid4PSP to combine the Converted AVI's at the same time!?!? I am not sure if the Option exists?

Thanks,

G!
