DivX/XviD file on DVD player

[Bizouman]

Hi group

I have some questions that I can't find anwsers....

I'm in Canada and I use a Pioneer DVR540 with DivX 5 and 6 built in and a Sony KTF55 TV

I download many .AVI files and most of them are DivX/XviD or DVD with PAL format
I want to play them using the DixV decoder of my Pioneer, So I don't have to convert all of them to a DVD (I can put 4x 700MB AVI movie file on a DVD)

The problem is when play on PC everything is fine, when burn as ISO on a DVD, probvlem start.

File with 23.976 fps when play sound is out of sync and picture look fuzzy
file with 25fps don't work (that I understand)
file that I convert with SUPER from 25fps to 29.97 sound is out of sync

But all of them, when burn into a DVD format using ConvertXtoDVD work like a charm....

Question: How can I convert AVI 23.97/25fps to AVI 29.97 and they will work fine on my DVD player ? Or what is the perfect setup to convert with SUPER ?? or other free converter

Why AVI play on PC work all the time and not when played on DVD (why is the DivX codec of the unit not doing the same thing as the PC ??)

Link me to a "Dummy free" way to rip DVD PAL to AVI NTSC that WORK !!

Or tell me, what the heck, burn them all on DVD, it will be easyer !

Thank you

They say that Canada is the world leading in CAM SCREENER, so why all the movie that I found is in PAL 25fps format !! Don't believe what you hear on the news !!

VirtualDub can easily do a frame rate conversion.

You'll have to ask Pioneer. The Divx/DVD players I've had played AVI files of just about any frame rate. Philips DVP-5960 currently, DVP-642, Liteon LDV-2002.

Is the audio of your DivXs VBR-encoded? AFAIK, some SAPs,
and even some programs(e.g. VirtualDub and old versions of Nero)
do not like variable-bitrate MP3. Try to demux your .avis, reencode
the audio in CBR, then remux. HTH.

I agree, frame rate shouldn't be an issue. Most likely bit rate or audio related. Try checking all of the file specs in the latest gSpot. You are especially looking for QPEL or GMC in the video section (most players can't handle those) and/or VBR audio.

I have a 540H. It will happily play 23.976, 25 and 29.97 fps video (Divx/Xvid) and convert the format to match your TV (consult your manual for details). It also handles packed bitstreams and VBR audio.

What it does not like is Qpel or GMC in the encoding. That is why I keep my LG in play as well.

AVI Recomp is probably the simplest solution if you need to re-encode to remove qpel or GMC. G-spot or mpeg4modifier can tell you if either are present in your file.
