Burning on to Disk or DVD

After months of struggling and being no genius, I was advised abouth the Divx player download. I've been using it now for months and burning straight to a normal CD and playing movies on a Standalone DVD/Divx player (now easy accessible). The problem occurs when some movies don't play on the standalone but you can hear the audio.

I suppose what im asking for is a paragraph on other methods used to burn on to a standalone Divx player. DVD take too long to burn and i rather stick to this method.

SO without people being rude or negative your replies will be much appreciated

Do the bad files play on your pc ?

Have you tried burning at a lower speed ?

i dont know what model of xvid compatable standalone player you have, but mine will not play everything I throw at it, it WILL play every scene rls properly, but the problem comes in when its done by individuals who dont know shit about compatability, then it either wont play, or will have just sound... im not sure if this is your problem though, are you having trouble with scene rls, or just random stuff from torrents or sumthing? some players arent compatable with all codecs used is basically what im sayin...

I really do not think it is a CD/DVD problem though...

Use something like Gspot to see which particular codec is needed for the files. See if you can find a common theme between the ones that play and the ones that don't, then don't burn the ones that don't. You don't want to burn the ones that don't play because they don't play and this is not good.

I agree, i dont think its a cd problem, most likley your dvd standalone doesnt support the codec they used to compress it.

it is indeed a codec problem not the disks you are using. i have a toshiba SD-260ESB2 and sometimes like you i have audio but no video. this only happens when i put tv rips onto discs not films. check out what rips dont work like for instance pukka ect as the group normally uses the the same codecs for compression for all there rls and steer clear of them or use g-spot to find out what codecs are not supported on your standalone. or convert em to vobs you lazy git.

this isn't really the right forum to find out sadly
(no disrespect to vcdq...it's just a fact)

if it isn't smartass replies it will be less than informed replies

...it's a quality review site after all


if you want good solid advice

less advanced:
VIDEOHELP

more advanced:
DOOM9

good luck
it ain't that hard


no vid would imply the chipset on that player cannot handle the particular codec used

try running it through AUTOGK if yer lazy
if not look on VIDEOHELP for dif encoders

or:
resample the audio...believe it or not that can cause the same result

if its some weird VBR
use virtualdub go to streams save as wav
re encode wave as a CBR just incase


anyhow the forums i suggested are far better equipped to help
