Jerky video on Cyberhome - frequent problem?

[musor2000]

I've just got a brand new Cyberhome CH-DVD 300 (an extremely compact unit), but my homemade DVD+RW and VCD (on CDR and CDRW) result in very jerky playback - the video freezes for a moment every several seconds. These discs play just fine in my last century's Sony DVP-S550.
Most probably none of you has had an experience with this unit (google couldn't find anything), but I thought I saw similar problems mentioned with regard to other Cyberhome models - 402 and 500. Have they fixed it via BIOS update?

Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

have you tried your discs that worked on your sony on your cyber ?.

What are the results ?

I have a Cyberhome 528 DVD player and it is fussy about what VCD encodes it will accept. It doesn't like TMPGenc and will jump and stutter every few seconds (same with CCE) but VCD's made with the Panasonic encoder work fine. However for MPEG2 files I've had no problems with jerky pictures from any encoder.

I have the cyberhome 402. The playback is great with mine on cd-r and dvd-r, vcd, and svcd.

THe only thing i've noticed on my dvd-r's is there is a slight picture contrast that fades in and out once in awhile...but only for a quick second.

I havnt played the dvd-r's on other players yet so i dont know if its the dvd-r or the player's fault. I've used instant copy for all of them.

I have also had problems with this brand (can't remember the model) and TMPGEnc. I found that I could still use TMPGEnc and avoid these problems if I encoded to elementary streams and then muxed these with BBMPEG.

Any files you have already encoded I would recommend a simple demutiplex in TMPGEnc and then REMUX in BBMPEG. The .mpg file from BBMPEG should hopefully play OK when you burn it as a VCD.

Thanks everybody for suggestions! I'll try some other encoder and see what happens. Indeed, a copy of a manufactured VCD plays fine; I just need to find a way to encode my data in a similar way.
To hardcoreruss: yes, the stuttering occurs with the discs that play flawlessly on my Sony.

No, I tried that and it didn't work either! It must be something to do with the GOPs. Also note that the Cyberhome won't play DVDRs authored with Nero.

I made some more experiments. I turned out that the same MPEG2 video created in tmpgenc stutters when recorded on Sony DVD+RW media, but plays fine on Verbatim DVD+RW! Sony DVD player reads both just fine...

As for demuxing, I couldn't make bbMpeg eat the audio track. Besides, bbMpeg looks like an MPEG2 tool, not MPEG1. Any other demux suggestions?

Is there any other good MPEG1 encoder besides tmpgenc? I wouldn't want to descrease the quality (which isn't stellar already)...

Thanks!

For muxing in BBMPEG, you don't open the video/audio from the main screen, you click start and then settings. Have a look at this guide

It is for an mpeg2 but you can apply it to mpeg1
