philips 5982 divx usb problems

[fredwilson]

The philips 5982 (after exchanging the first one) has been flawless, but i have noticed that playing divx over usb can only play 104 minutes of a movie then stops and moves on to the next movie or back to the directory I am extreme newbie looking for the right direction (movie "MIRACLE" muxed into one file is where i first noticed it) help would be appreciated as my whole movie collection is on WD MYBOOK

Is it just that one file that is giving you a problem? If so it's probably just a bad file. How big is the file?

[fredwilson]

no it is any file that runs over 104 min


out of memory i would say file sizes range from 1.2 to 1.5 gb

Quick note: files run flawless until counter reaches 1:44:** hr:m

Same file(s) on dvd plays fine?
What are the specs of your drive.. maybe powersaving kicking in?
How did you format Wd mybook ? (fats32, fat16) using what program?
How is the file created?
Have your parents set 104mins as your maximum view time then you have to go to bed? (joke)
My parents let me stay up and watch any length.
I would send it back and get the counter replaced!

Weird. If you fast forward through them can you get past 104 minutes? Do the same files play all the way to the end on DVD? I haven't had any problems on my DVP-5960 -- though I've only used flash drives via USB.

never tried dvd

have 3yr and 1yr old sons who love to scratch discs so it would defeat the purpose that i bought the player for
WD MYBOOK is fat32 out of the box as far as power saving it just goes to the next file in the directory and auto plays i used a program called avi joiner on the files that were split as two cds note i have never ripped my own disc as i wanted the copy to hold quality

is there anything that i can look for in that joining program

[fredwilson]

correction the program might be better known as AVIMux_GUI
