Hi All

Can i ask a question please

I recentley purchased DvD player with the abilty to upscale to Hdmi TV and also play Divx/Xvid Movies.

I have 3 movies in Divx/Xvid Format but when i play them through my 32 WLT66 Toshiba Lcd TV the PQ isnt as good as i expected.

I am unsure if this is because Lcd TV, or the player or the movies themselves.

When i play normally dvd movies rented or purchased the PQ is sublime.

I am curious are Divx/Xvid movies lesser in PQ than normal dvd's?

Regards

Clint

Depends on the skill of the person/people making them and the source that they use to create the video.

Hollywood videos are made using very expensive equipment and they still make movies that are for the most part really crappy, although video-wise they look good.

Tell us how you made these Divx/Xvid movies and then we can comment. DVD content as said is hand crafted. After that average VBR bit rate is 5-7Mb/s to fit into 8GB. Even so these are still standard def. Are you saying your Divx/Xvid files are greater than 4GB per movie?

Ok thanks Zippy.

No Eddv they are like 750mb per movie.

P.s. I didnt make them someone else did. Not sure what they used.

The best MPeg4 would match commercial MPeg2 at half the bitrate. Your file is about 25% of that (3000Mb/s). If you convert MPeg4 to MPeg2, you lose more quality.

Fair enough that would explain it i guess
