avi playback on dvd players iv got a dvd player that plays avi and divx but the avi's i am creating with DVDFab wont play in it... when i try to play from a usb stick it says "HD not compatable" and they just say bad disc when i have them on cd/dvd it just says bad disc i am just using the first format dvdfab comes up with i am not changing anything
On mine, it will only read images from a usb stick.. As for the disks, though, try changing the codec used. Goto Conversion Settings, and what does it say in the boxes at the top? Mine is: The profile is used to create avi(xvid + mp3) file, which can be played on PC or supported device. I set that as my default. You'll want to set the frame rate to 25fps too as that's the Pal standard. If those are the settings you're using, what codec pack do you have installed on your pc? And what are you using to burn to a disk?
OOh, you don't want to be using h.264. Use the drop down list and choose generic.avi.xvid.mp3 then click the 'set as default' button. That will create avi files that use the xvid codec, and mp3 audio, which are both widely compatible with players.
Right thats sorted it cheers now is there a prog to convert all my h264's in xdiv's? or will i lose quality doing it this way
Nah you won't lose quality. I'm sure when I first recommended this to you, I told you about this stuff You can use SUPER, or Total Video Converter, or AVS Video Converter to convert the files. I've used all three and they're all fine, no noticeable quality loss.
i think u did but i didnt realise just using the .avi format it starts up with would not be the most common
It's becoming popular, and generally allows for better quality results, but compatibility with older equipment obviously goes out the window..
