Gemmill 34780 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Reet, I've now got a DVD player that plays DivX files. But how do I record things on a DVD as DivX files? They download as avi so what do I do from there? Help please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4ever 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Simply burn the avi file(s) onto a CD/DVD as data files. If they play all jerky and shit though your player doesn't handle packed bitstreams and you need to alter them before you burn. To fix this, you need mpeg4modifier: http://www.moitah.net/download/latest/MPEG4Modifier.zip Load the executable, load the avi file, tick the box by 'unpack' and save the file somewhere. Then burn the new file. Hopefully your player won't require you to do this, but plenty do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34780 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks Dave. And Laz, you dirty twat, I don't know how you dare! I can assure you though that I'm looking for this info so I can watch Entourage, Heroes and Nip Tuck. Not porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikko 20 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Additonally with these hardware players, they will only play the divX files. Not xvids or other encoded ones. They also tend to only play one or 2 audio codecs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34780 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Class. 8 minutes to put 12 episodes on a DVD and it appears to be working fine. In the past it would have taken about 12 hours with all the encoding etc. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 One of the best purchases I've made in years that, a DVD/DivX player. Plus they are pretty cheap these days. Plus most of them play almost everything... must have the same kind of software as VLC in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I've never had a problem with xvid on them Rikko, and it's used much more than DivX anyway. Agree on the audio though, some just aren't supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigo 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've never had a problem with xvid on them Rikko, and it's used much more than DivX anyway. Agree on the audio though, some just aren't supported. Me neither, the only thing I've had hassle with is soft subs. Often they're positioned too high on the screen and, if they're too long, sometimes I'm left with remnants of the words on the screen for a while, which is really annoying. It might be possible to find a firmware upgrade to make an old one play x-vids and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
