[chits007]

Hello Friends,

I have Philips 5982 and has Seagate 500 GB and using HDMI connection for Display (Samsung 32") ..
I am trying this Digital Video Essential DVD 6 GB or so from HDD...I see stutter when playing back from HDD..

Can anyone please help on how to fix that ?


Thanks

Do other files play from the HDD without problems ?
Have you defragmented the HDD recently ?

[chits007]

Yes other AVI/DVD files plays fine ...
oonly some time I see when the camera pans in the scene it does for few second...
but in this particular file it constantly keeps stutering..

NoI havent defragment should I tried with that ?

NTSC or PAL DVD ?
When you say stuttering, do you mean jerkiness, or image problems ? i.e. does it just appear not to be smooth, or does the image actually freeze, then start again ?

Its a PAL DVD (720*576)
slow means picture quality and pixel are all fine just that it slow along with audio ( audio also break) ..the video frames moves slow like 5/10 FPS...
a scenario you match to a slow CPU....

The bitrate from a std dvd is too high to play from an external HDD.. unfortunately the usb port is only 1.1 not usb2.0.
If you have very high bitrate avi files you will find that they stutter as well. You could try "shrinking" your DVD and maybe keeping only DD2.0 sound, all this to try and lower the bitrate, but I doubt it will be enough. Just for a laugh you could shrink it till it plays.
try new firmware .. see if that makes any difference?

Exactly. Get a 5990 or 5992 if you want to play high bitrate files (they have a USB 2.0 ports).

I checked bitrate its 9800 kbps (122.5 kbytes/s) I guess its too high ..?

any other way may be If I burn to DVD it may work ?

Yes, 9800 kbps is too high from the USB port (~4000 is the limit). Should be OK from a DVD.

Actually I would suspect anything much over 1000-1500 avg bitrate will have problems. (on a usb1.1 port). Those files should play fine if burned as a DVD.
You could also get philips 5520 recorder with usb2.0 port. I have this and 5982, (frustratingly only one spare scart and one spare power socket.) It copes well with an external hard drive (another power socket!).

He appears to have DVD MPEG2 files: "Digital Video Essential DVD 6 GB". Burning to DVD should be no problem. The 9800 kbps report is probably just the peak bitrate anyway.

In my experiments with a Philips DVP 5960 I was able to play close to 4000 kbps CBR (combined XVID video and AC3 audio) from the USB port. Obviously, peak bitrates in VBR files may exceed that depending on how they were encoded.
