Jerky movies/picture (on DV-444) after burning bin. & cu

[jvd]

OK, i didnt know where 2 put this thread so... I hope U dont mind.
OK, my roblem is tha I cant watch many of my movies that I have made from .bin & .cue-files. Many (not all) movies runs fine at the beginning but efter a while (often in the midle or in the end of cd) the picture gets bad "pixels", jerky and stutter (picture). Some times its hard 2 get pass these parts of the movie (cd) and sometimes the DVD (Pioneer DV-444). locks up and stop the film.
HELP! What is the problem. I have tried burning the .bin & .cue-files direkt in NERO, copying the mounted movie using Deamontool. The problem doesnt seem 2 happen on the exact same place from time to time when I try it over again. I have tried to burn at 4x speed, no diff. What is the problem. Is it the CDRW? Is it the medium? Is it the apps? Or is it ME? HELP!
I would REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate U uys if U could help me out since I got A hole bunch of great movies lying here as bin. & .cue-files.

The bitrate is too high for you player. It's a common occurance for the Pioneer 440/444 models. You can get around this though.

1. Extract the MPEG files from the bin.

2. Reencode the files using minimum 900 (padded) and maximum 2450.
For the average bitrate, enter the length of the MPEG clip into the bitrate calculator.

3. For sound encoding, try 160-192 kbps. Also, you can just simple demux and use the original sound if the sound doesn't stutter. Just make sure to account for the correct sound bitrate in the bitrate calculator.

4. Mux your newly encoded MPEG video file and your mp2 audio file.

5. Make a new bin and cue file with VCDImager.

6. Reburn. I prefer Fireburner as opposed to Nero for VCDs/CVDs/SVCDs.

*Next time do some test clips (30sec - a couple minutes) to find out if it works. That way you won't end up with so many bin and cue files that you have to reencode.

OK, thanks! So there is no easy way out of this. There are no program thar can reencode with new bitrates direct without demus- and muxing. Sound complicated av timedemanding. Its about 10 movies (20-26 CDs) that I have D/L-ed. I havent ripped and encoded the myselves.

On thing, IF I burn them several times the "hitches" doesnt seems to be on the same place from time to time. Is it REALY a bitrate-question?

Theese red-green-yellow square shaped artefacts drives me crazy, especially when it comes in the end of the film where the murder is suposed to be cought ;-)

Hi,

I also own a DV-444 and experience the same problems. I have done lots of research on it and it seems it's not that the bitrate is too high... but rather too LOW.

The dv-444 is said to have problems with bitrates below 1200.

All in all it's fair to say that the 444 is picky with svcd's. I am thinking about trading mine in for a 454 that is hopefully not so picky?
