How to get Macintosh encoded files to work on LVD-2001?

[Macfixer01]

Hi,
Has anyone successfully encoded divx video ON A MACINTOSH, that will play on a LiteOn LVD-2001? All my attempts fail miserably at the LiteOn but work fine on the Mac and also on my Dell laptop at work. I suspect it's something that Quicktime is doing, but I don't know.

For example: I downloaded the latest Boston Legal episode, which unfortunately has the audio out of sync. The LiteOn plays the original file just fine except for the sync. I fixed the audio problem with QT Sync and the movie plays in-sync on the Macintosh now. I exported it as a self-contained movie and all the pertinent specs are identical in the two files when viewed from Quicktime's Get Movie Properties window. However when I try to play the new file on the LiteOn LVD-2001, it just shows the filename then quits back to the blue page showing the disc directory.

Any ideas? I hate to have to shuffle files over to the Dell and encode them there. Also my company monitors what I install on the Dell, and may object.

Thanks in advance,
Leo

QT sync may have altered the mpeg4 or divx headers.

The file may play fine on mac and pc since they both have the QT codecs to decode the "somewhat" non standard MPEG4/DIVX.
