divx on player

[dude112]

i have some divx files that plays fine on the computer using divx player 2.5.5. but when i try to play the files on my dvd player the video is very shocky and in slow motion but the sound works well.

i was wondering if i can reencode it with virtualdub or a different program.
i tried virtualdub but i dont really know how.

p.s. i have a LG DV-8700H, not that that's important in this topic

To answer your other question, recompressing an XviD as DivX should fix it if the player only plays DivX, but that would create a large loss of quality in the conversion process, which is something you want to avoid by getting an MPEG-4 capable player. If you have to recompress everything, you might as well just convert everything to DVD/SVCD.

Is the reply I got for a very simillar question. I have not actualy tried yet so cannot comment.

I think that the bottom line is - yes it can be done but not really worth it.

Hope this helps, Hakamtzan
