Samples work fine with portable Mintek DVD-1710.

I'm happy to inform that the SONY DVP NS315 and the SONY DVP NS400D played a movie made with the KVCDx2 NTSC(without changes) for one cd template perfectly! i mean there was no visible blocks, the colors where great and the audio was just awsome! I tried too a PIONEER 535 and it had audio issues, tried a panasonic wich is a stereo too(with radio am/fm sorry i dont remember the model) and it played pretty fine, almost like the sony's, not so great image quality but it hadn't any audio or video issues. By the way my KONKA 1800U doesn't played at all just a green big square in al the TV, so sad :cry:

So for KVCDx2:

SONY NS315: Rocks!
SONY NS400D: Rocks!
PIONEER 535: Audio Issues
KONKA 1800U: Doesn't work

Congrats to all of you who have a sony!

After following the topics on using 352x480 vs 352x240, I tried a couple of encodes using 352x480 and the video was great, but in all of the examples I tried, the audio was choppy. The sound would play for a couple of seconds, then there would be silence, then sound again, then silence, etc. Encoding the exact same clip with 352x240 cause the sound problem to go away.

Page of compatible players
 

This is a good thread to share successes of players with different templates but doesn't really display the information very easily.

Is there going to be any move towards having a dedicated page listing players and if they are compatible with the various templates? Something similar to the VCD Help compatible players page would be ideal.

Hi DazJWood:

Eventually, when I get more time, I'll start reading through this thread and make a "Read-Only" list of players and post a link in the main page.

Meanwhile, for KVCD (original without changes) template:

SONY DVP NS315S: Perfect!
SONY DVP NS400D: Doesnt liked it!
KONKA 1800U: Perfect!

So, for those who doesn't want to reencode again movies made with past templates and want to enjoy the quality of the new ones, the NS315S or NS315B is the choice, this beauty plays, cd-r, cd-rw, dvd-r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw, mp3, vcd and of course KVCD's!!

Good Luck!

After I updated my Yamakawa 715 to the newest firmware(openfirmware miniDVD Version to be precise) it plays all samples without a hitch ... bevore that it was sort of vomiting pixels all over the screen :wink:

Does anyone have info on the Sony NS500V if you do let me know :lol: Thx..

Grundig GDV-130 FW2.36 :D

PAL 352x288, 352x576, 480x576, 704x576, 720x576 as MPEG1 CBR or VBR, MPEG2 CBR or VBR
burnt as VCD, SVCD or ISO (using the built-in file explorer)

MPEG-1 muxed as non-standard VCD (= timedisplay is wrong)
MPEG-1 muxed as SVCD (= timedisplay is correct)

This machine even can handle MPEG1 Layer III audiostrems inside VCD, SVCD.

GE 5803p 3 disk changer

plays all templates BUT you have to change the fps to 30.which makes the file size bigger.

Both the JVCV-521BK and the Pioneer DV-343 were able to use Kwags KDVD template at both Full and Half D1 resolutions.

Full D1 - 5000 kb max bitrate
Half D1 - 2500 kb max bitrate

Otherwise all params at default.

Discs were burned onto DVD+R from a HP200i using ULead DVD Moviefactory or DVD Workshop.

Only the Pioneer would play same using DVD+RW.

:D :lol: :P

That's great news MoovyGuy :lol:
Now we wait until the DVD(X)R media becomes cheaper, which shouldn't be too long!.

the SONY DVP-NC600 plays kvcdx2 perfectly!

Done.

The Toshiba SD-210E works with all your templates pal and ntsc
Kwag. :)

RCA 5240P
 

The new 352x240 template has the exact same tweaks I made to get it to play just right on my 5240P! I thought I was reckless lowering the upper bitrate that low..

Works well.

What's the difference between the 5220P and the 5240P, anyways?

Hi blackbird666:

Is this an NTSC or PAL model?. I have mixed reports from this player. Mostly are that it doesn't work with any KVCD template.

Sylvania
 

Finally got round to determining what plays properly on my DVD player.

Sylvania DV2000:

KVCD-CQ-352x240-(NTSCFilm)-1CD.mcf - Works fine.
KVCD-CQ-352x480-(NTSCFilm)-1CD.mcf - No Luck, even SVCD Remux.
KVCDx2-CQ-704x480-(NTSCFilm)-1CD.mcf - Works with SVCD Remux, but picture choppy. I can't find the correct VBV Buffer value to fix this.

Spyglass.

Toshiba
 

Toshiba SD - 2800 works just fine. Thank you

its the pal version and will play almost anything
