Several months ago I got a Philips DVP-642. I want to convert my
saved programs to a mpeg4 format that is playable on the Philips.
I figured out settings that gave good quality on the computer but
so far anything I try using xvid is not playable on the Philips.
It seems other people have this problem as well. I burned a movie trailer from the divx site and it played okay.
Most of the How-to information about xvid seems geared to windows users. I recently discovered the xvid4conf program for linux. I am getting stuff together slowly and may even write it down to help others. There are several pieces that need to be setup for it to work.
NUVExport is a very useful program. My main usage is when I archive shows I use it to get show information so I know what files to move. I want to use it for converting files to MPEG4 format.
Hello,
After some more reading on the web I got xvid to produce a file that the Philips can play. I had to turn off packed, B Frames, and added an "export_par 1" parameter to transcode.
I wanted to try and do a divx encode but it is broken in transcode. I also tried FFMpeg to create a MPEG4 stream, which played but had some A/V sync problems.
