KVCD: Pioneer DV-440 player issues
 

Anyone here have a Pioneer DV-440 and if so do you have problems with audio being slightly choppy?

Try muxing and burning as SVCD. Works on my DV-343 like a charm.

thanks ill give that a try on my next project

Boulder, do you mean muxing as SVCD like in Bbmpeg? Then maybe you'd advise skipping making the burn image in VCD Easy and burning the mpeg in Nero, as SVCD though?

I usually encode as mpeg1 (either 544x480 or 704x480), use BBmpeg, VCD Easy and then burn the image in Nero. Sometimes I get audio pop/chop on my Pioneer 533.

Yes, mux in bbMPEG and use the SVCD settings. I also put '0' in the forced mux rate box. Then make an SVCD image in VCDEasy and burn the image with any program you like.

i use TMPGenc to MUX as an SVCD, and just burn with nero (dont make an image with VCD Easy first) and it works fine now.

i'm having a new problem with this player, i tried to make a KVCD out of a video that was 16:9 and the player didnt seem to like it, garbled the picture for about a minute and then picture froze alltogether (sound was fine). when i use 4:3 videos i have no problems. Any idea on how i can fix this?

KVCDs should be 4:3 so you'll have to add borders and encode as 4:3.

i dont know how to do that is there a tutorial somewhere?

Well, this forum has a couple of guides at the top of the page, see if they help you.

i converted to 4:3 and it still dosent work.
