KISS DP-450 + New DivX 5.03

[jmc_uk]

I have encoded a movie into the new DivX Codec


AND MY KISS PLAYER WONT PLAY IT!!!!

I love this player it is amazing but if it doesnt play the latest versions of DivX im gonna chuck it away!

Can anyone shed any light on this problem.

Thanx

Did you use any of the advanced funtions when encoding like Global Motion Compensation or Quarter Pixel?
I know that films encoded with 5.02 wouldn't play if either of these functions were used so I assume the same applies to 5.03.

I think you might need to update the player to a new firmware, because of the new DivX version. I read this in a FAQ from the manufacturer:

1:
Q: What codecs are supported by KiSS DP-450 ?
A: All codecs that comply with the specifications of ISO-MPEG4 – Advanced, Simple Profile, are supported by the DP-450. DivX 4.x and 5.x comply with this standard, exept DivX 5.02 features- GMC (Global Motion Compensation) and QP (Quarter Pexel) which are Advanced, Advanced Profile features.
Xvid 2.10 and Realmagic’s RPM4 also complies with the supported standard.

2:
Q: DP-450 is able to play DivX 4.x and 5.x, but what will happen when a new version of DivX is released? Is it possible to upgrade the software to support newer codecs ?
A: If a newer DivX codec is released, e.g. DivX 6.x, DP-450 will be able to play it if the codec is ISO-MPEG4 – Advanced, Simple Profile compliant. A codec needs to be made from the principles and specifications of ISO-MPEG4 Advanced, Simple Profile to function properly on the DP-450.

I'm not sure, but I think you may need to update the firmware
