SVCD ok on one dvd player but not another

[peter p]

I just created a svcd from an divx and it plays great on one of my home dvd players and on my pc. But on another one of my home dvd players there is one scene that has some corruption always in the same spot but on my other dvd player there is no corruption at that scene.
Also on the dvd player that shows the corruption, the sound cuts out at the beginning of the movie but doesn't do it on the other dvd player.
Both support svcd.
I use dvd2svcd with cce 2.6 and ds2roba.
Could this be a sound issue? I encode at 48000hz. I don't down sample from 48000 to 44100hz.
Anyone know why this is happening?

Could this be a sound issue? I encode at 48000hz. I don't down sample from 48000 to 44100hz.

The above would explain why you have no sound. Why not make it the SVCD standard of 44.1 KHz?

[peter p]

The sound is good throughout the movie. It's only a couple of spots in the movie where it cuts out for a split second on one of the dvd players.

[ZippyP.]

All I can suggest is to try some good quality disks because it sounds like the one player is finding some glitches.

A large number of players will not accept 48Hkz
as it is outside the specs for SVCD. You are making an XSVCD.

It always better to make a VCD/SVCD/DVD standard compliant disk because the hardware players have more restrictions than a PC. Almost anything will play on a PC while the same thing may not play properly on a player.

In your case you should downsample to 44.1 Khz

[peter p]

I redid the movie, downsampling the sound to 44100 but the one dvd player still does it. It shows corruption at a certain spot and the sound cuts out at a certain spot but on my other player it plays fine.
Can it be the dvd player or some setting in my encoding program?

[ZippyP.]

Is their corruption when you play the mpeg on your PC? If so then the player is not to blame and I suspect bad frames in your avi are the cause.

Could be a bitrate spike, a problem with encoders where for a split second, the bitrate exceeds the standard. It also could be a marginal GOP or bad buffer setting which the hardware decoder can't cope with.

[sanjayk]

Use a diff encode like TMPGEnc. Its better than others.

[peter p]

It plays fine on my PC.
I used TMPGEnc and it doesn't do it anymore but now while it's playing in the dvd player, it wont go forward when you press next on the remote (to go to next chapter) it will go previous but not forward.
Is there a setting for this?

[peter p]

Well the bad spots are gone from the svcd and it plays fine except for the problem of the movie will kinda skip, fast forward, jerk,(whatever you want to call it) at least once on a 800 meg svcd movie. The quality is excellent but I have that one problem.
I just leave the GOP settings alone, should I be adjusting the settings?
