Does liteon's LVD2002 play xivd files?

[whiskeyness]

I was scrolling through other users posts and some said they had no problems playing xvid files. I can't get mine to play xvid so I was wondering if lvd2002 was compatiable with that type of avi

I have no problems playing xvid files on mine.

It could be that the file you're having problems with has an mp3 audio track with too low a bitrate. That's the one thing I've seen cause problems.

Or the audio track could simply be in a in a codec which the player doesn't handle.

oooo is that why whenever I open one of these xvid files with vdub it says the audio has an improper vpr. Thank you for your reply, I think I know how to fix it without reencoding it

if u change the fourcc part from xvid to divx sometimes this will let the player play the file. this worked for some new tv episode xvid releases that i was having trouble with. you'll need avic.exe and just change the description code.

I have a LVD-1001.

Whenever I get a quirky file that has some issues that Vddub tells about, it rarely works. That is XVID or DIVX.

What I do that ALWAYS works for me is I take the file and re-incode it in Dr. Divx, which I happen to be doing at this moment. Usually I do a one-pass, sometimes a two-pass if the file has a high resolution.

It also gives me an opporotunity to change some file charactoristics.
then I have a Divx 5.1.1 file which will work on the Lite-on. I have to tell you, my wish BEFORE I got the Lite-on player was that noneone ever used Xvid or used that bootleg group of codecs or the nimo codec packs. Especially the Nimo, something gets updated and then it can cause a lot of problems with compatibility issues.

Especially if this stuff is done to save $15 or something, I really believe that they slow down the development of legitimate, standardized video compression. The cost is so small, upgrades are always free and you know that as more and more stand alone DVD players come out with compression formats, Xvid will be hit or miss.

I also don't mind developers earning a living. Now if they were charging some outrageous pricing or being *ickheads like Microsoft or Sony (the king of propriatary formats and crappy tech support), that is different.
