Sony plays 23.976, but Apexs (2) won't...huh?

[therick]

OK, I did my first DVD rips last week (Young Frankenstein and American Movie)...and it being my first time, I did not run pulldown.exe on any of the mpegs (which were 23.976 fps). I now know that pulldown tells the DVD Player to display the stream at 29.97 fps...but when I put the SVCDs made with this stream into my Sony 560D...they play wonderfully. When I play them on my grandmother or sister's Apex players (different model #s that I can't remember) they skip and the audio gets out of sync. Now why would my Sony play them and the Apexs won't? Really kind of a technical question, but I truly am interested to find the reason behind this...ormaybe I have the wrong idea somewhere? Thanks in advance...

Apex 600A CANNOT (depending on firmware) exceed 1,700 k BPS without lots of problems. 1,650 and below is fine. This is a very real issue, and other (later) Apex don't have the problem. At 1,750 you get blocks in the picture, at 2,100 you get only a few full frames per second, with lots of sound problems. When I first saw this, I blamed the software, but the SVCD's played fine on other boxes.
