After burning divx files to a dvd+ disc. video and audio play great on any pc using media player.When I play the disc in a philips dvp5990 the video plays but seems very jumpy and choppy whether I use the disc or the usb2 with a flash drive. What is the problem? Thanks in advance. Brad
Dave, What programs are used to correct frame rate mismatch? I am quite a newbie when it comes to divx movies downloaded and burnt to disk Are there any programs you would recommend using on downloaded divx files before burning to disc to play in a divx dvd player? Thanks, Brad
I see it on mine. Frankly, I've got used to it. But if you want to try it, use something like this. The general method is achieved by slowing down/speeding up the frame rate (25 > 23.976 or vice versa) to natch your preferred rate and adjusting the audio to match.

Hi again,Dave I opened the choppy avi's with Gspot and noticed any avi with a FPS rate of 25 causes the choppy video. Any avi with a FPS rate of 23.97 play great on my stand alone dvd player. What is the best program to change the FPS rate to the 23.97 rate my divx dvd seems to want? Thanks again for your time. Brad
I tend to use Virtualdub for this, because I'm used to it. Open the file in virtualdub and set audio to "no audio" Video - fast recompress Video frame rate - change to 23.976 video compression - choose divx on the left. Hit configure - restore defaults - choose encoding type/one pass quality based - Target quantizer = 4 Dual core cpu ? if so, hit the codec tab at the top and select enhanced multithreading. OK out File / save as avi. See the URL I mentioned earlier re: the audio.
The choppy video may have nothing to do with the framerate. Perhaps your divx player cannot play video with a high bitrate, many cannot go above a certain level resulting in choppy video/loss of frames. Did converting your videos to 23 fps solve your problem?
Davexnet, Thanks for your help. i followed your step by step procedure,using virtual dub and the video is now perfect.By following your procedure,setting file to no audio,of course the re-encode had no audio.so I again re-encoded using source audio and direct stream copy for the audio.Will let you know how it came out. Again Thanks for all your help. And to afterdrk, Frame rate has everything to do with the choppy video.In answer to your question,Yes,convertig from 25 to 23.97 fps did indeed solve my problem.. Brad
Dave, re-encoded using 23.97 fps rate and source audio and direct stream copy for the audio.Will let you know how it came out. Now when I play this dub in my stand alone player the audio is about 30 seconds ahead of the video. I know you told me in your procedure to use the no audio option,but if I do that how do I get the audio on it????/ Thanks again, Brad
I think it's all in the link I pointed out earlier. Here's a summary: Open the original file in virtualdub. Audio/full processing files/save wave Download Besweet and follow the instructions to do a 25>23.976 audio time stretch - it will create a new Wave file. Install Lame ACM if you don't have it installed aleady. Open the 23.976 avi without any audio in Virtualdub and select audio/from other file > point it to the stretched Wave. video /direct stream copy Audio/full processing Audio/ compression (select LAME ACM on the left. On the right pick CBR 160 (or similar) OK Out. File / sav as avi.
