The problem with the Apex machines is that the internal MPEG decoders used are very strict to standards. The Apex's will play fine standard formats, but when you deviate from the standards like KVCD, problems arise. The only solutions have been demux/remux and change VBV values. Some models work with these hacks, others don't. So the Apex issues can't be solved with a template. kwag |
APEX AD-660
I earlier reported that this player was funky until KVCDx2 beta. Now I tried,
KVCD 352x240 - fine - video quality poor (blurred) KVCD 352x480 - OK - better video but skips slightly after 5seconds. KVCD 352x480 - OK - better video but skips slightly after 5seconds. All with CladDVD, DVD2AVI, FitCD, VDub, TMPGENc256 and no template changes, EasyVCD. 23fps. Interestingly, EasyVCD reported NTSC FILM 24FPS for KVCD 352x240 but NTSC UNRECOGNISED 23.9fps for other two. This could be the reason why I have video skips. GOD such a good template but still silly problems for me. I still wonder this time it worked only becuase this movie is 4:3 NTSC FILM 29fps Interlaced and not 16:9 NTSC FILM 29fps Interlaced. Thanks Team. |
Have you tried changing it to a 29fps setting? It works for me. Files are larger though. Also try CENTER KEEP ASPECT Ratio.

Apex 1100w
I also have a Apex 1100w. I have a question, if I change the template to 29.97 and not the 23.9 in the templates what do I lose. Is the file only bigger or do I lose quality. If it just makes the size bigger, I'm okay with that. But I would like to know if I lose any quality.
Thanks, Moat |

blah, who cares about that? I would rather have player that supports everything with no problems then it be hackable. |
Just a side note. Apex has dropped VCD support on ALL their new DVD players. No DVD players manufactured by Apex will play (X)VCD. Only SVCD's and DVD's. I think this was a very bad move by Apex. Specially for all the thousands doing VCD's, XVCD, and of course KVCD's.
So if anyone plans to buy a new Apex :roll: , think twice :!: You can verify this at their site www.apexdigitalinc.com . Just check every product and manual and see if you can find the word "VCD". -kwag |
