Divx Players Dvd

[clidge]

hi everyone i use a program called dvd santa cheers mrbilly!! but when the files get converted from the downloaded file ready to be burnt to dvd when i play back the sound and is out from what is on screen and sometime the video feed is slow.. my friend at work said all i need to get is a divx dvd player and simply burn the file without converting straight to dvd and this will then work on the player without anything happening during the convertion is this right what has been said???????????

Yeah you can play it straight on a divx dvd player . Strange why the sounds out of sync though . Is that on all the films you've converted ?

How much ??? divx players are about 30 quid

cough cough bloody hell!!! no mate not all films only a few now and again mostly the dvd santa is fantastic mate and i dont have any problems..but if i could just burn them straight to dvd then it would save alot of time cos dvd santa takes over an hour to convert them...what you think mate will the divx player just instantly play the film or what? how does it appear on the screen like a menu (like you are looking at pics) comes up with a sub folder and you select play...you could put more than one film on each dvd if thats the case?? cheers again guys

Not sure how they play the film tbh . Whether you can skip/ fast forward like you do with chapters on a dvd . It sounds like an audio codec issue .

 

[clidge]

what about xvid, avi mpeg etc etc will these work the same

 

[MRBILLYUK]

^^^ Yep

use a different program or learn the one your using better. sounds like your audio stream isn't compressed in the right way or you just not sync'd it properly.

DIVX/XVID/AVI won't have trackmarks or chapters by default, however when re-encoding them you can place chapters onto the discs if so wished. However if you're playing straight from native format, this isn't possible, most DIVX players have decent skip/seek functions to counter this though.

DIVX player can be bought for £30 www.ebuyer.com (search divx).

As for the Freecom mediaplayer, thats a completely different (and clever device) but you're looking at £85 notes for that, basically that allows you to stream movies directly via a wired/wireless network from your PC. You can also retrofit a HD so you can store movies/mp3 to it too.

Depends what your after, your current hardware and your downloading habits I guess.

My Samsung 5.1 system playing Prison Break in DIVX via a USB key (saves wasting cd's )

Edit - Ignore referance to Star Wars, that's just the dvd player menu background

99% of DIVX/XVID files have worked without a problem on my player. Very occasionally something will refuse to play but it's very rare.
