Is there any kind of device i could buy to chnage the size of the video before it gets to the tv? to fix the overscan problme
Hi all! So I have an AVI file and it works fine on my PC, but when I watch it on my Philips DivX player, the picture is not the same at all. The picture is changed beyond recognition. The file's info is as found in AviCheck AUDIO: 0 - AC3(0x2000) Average bitrate Per Sec: 448 kb/s Samples Rate: 48000 Hz Video: XviD B-VOP: Yes S(GMC)-VOP: No QuarterPixel: No Frame Size: 560 x 432 Frame Rate: 25.000 If somebody could point out to the source of this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi their..patcan..what do u mean by pic not the same at all..no pic, smaller pic,pixalated,,what hows the sound this is not standard for TV..Frame Size: 560 x 432,this will be a little smaller [TV Standard 720x480]..although it will show full screen on computer
Well, what I mean is that a picture is unrecognazible at all. The sound is okay though. In the movie I can only see the outline of the characters but nothing is smooth. That's what I meant.
Press the System Menu twice at the start of the movie and see if that fixes it.... Some Xvids don't like the dvp/642
Hello I currently have this DVd player the philips dvp642 and say I am very happy with. There is only one problemo, when i burn stuff to a cd-r they play great in avi format. Now I have south park the season 1, and ripped it all so that it can fit into one whole DVD+R. Now I was able to fit all of them and burn them as Data using nero. Now when I put it on the DVd it Does seems to recognize it, but some how it starts then it says scene index and starts all over. It just keeps replaying over and over again. Like it only plays the first couple of seconds then it skeeps to the next chapoter or next video. Then plays again a few seconds. Can anyone please help me on this. All files are in .avi format in mp3 bitrate. thanx
Hi everyone! I have a bit of a problem. I watch many avi's on my DivX player and many of them work fine. However, sometimes I play an avi file and the sound is very low and I have to turn it up to maximum just to be able to hear a thing. Anybody has any idea as to why this could be!?!? Also, sometimes when I watch an avi file, I see squares appering on the screen as if somebody is pressing the FF button ( rewinding forward) and it skips a little piece and then goes back to normal. After some time, it will do the same thing again. If anybody has any idea, any input would be appreciated. Thank you all for your help!!!
Hi there. I have the dvp642 almost a year now, and every more often it can't play what I'm trying to see, what makes me really disappointed. Both incorrectly decoded films or not read at all films are becoming a real problem, making my reader almost obsolete. Is there any new up-date that could widen the spectre of encodings that my reader reads? I haven't been able to find anything at all at philips.com. Thank you very much, Marjancek.
My kids broke the battery pannel off the remote control, and now it is lost. I don't like the remote, and never have. Is there a good replacement for the 642 remote? Are there universal remotes that work better????
Hey. I was wondering is this idea was at all possible. I like the idea of burning divxs to DVD but I like the menu setup of a traditional dvd. Would it be possible to create a standard dvd menu structure (.vob, etc.) which links to the divx movies on the disc (.avi or whatever)? So for instance would it be possible to have a motion/picture menu showing the covers of a few dvds, and when one is clicked the philips player plays the cooresponding divx file?
watersfx, no, sorry. On a PC, you can get DVD-style menus with MPEG4 video by using either ratDVD or DivX 6.0, but the DVP 642 doesn't support either one. (It'll play DivX 6 videos, but not the menus.)
Hi can anyone help me im having a hard time with subtitle files they work smetimes and other times they wont all are SRT format some i have converted from other types but are SRTs now the dvd player shows them being on the disc and a subtitle file but wont let me select them with the subtitle buttion on the remote any ideas?
Can someone tell me if there is a fix for the "VERTICAL LINE" problem? I can't seem to find much info on it. Will a firmware update do the trick? If so then what version. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am so annoyed by the lines. Thanks!
I gave up on the need to constantly reset the color part of the picture menu to get rid of the vertical bars and got another divx capable dvd player and am much happier now. Let's face it-the DVP642 is yesterday's news.
