KVCD: why is my DVD player acting up?
 

Hello all before I get started I would like to say that if I have posted this in the wrong place then I am sorry but I really need some help. I stubled on KVCD last night while looking in another forum. I understand what a template is and what it does and everything. I Am using TMPEG 2.58.14.57 Pretty good version I might add. I used it on a movie last night and it played great in my Friends DVD player with a little glitch but that was about it. But when I put it in my DVD player it started to go bonkers. The audio was fast and the video was fast and glitchy. It wasnt playing correctly like it was in my friends DVD player but the picture did show but not like it was supposed to. Evidently I didnt encode it wrong but why is my DVD player acting up. I used the 120 min and the 180 min to see if there was a difference but it wasnt. Is there anything that I can do to my DVD player to make it play correctly.

Here are my specs of my DVD player

Its a Samsung DVD/VCR combo
the model number is DVD-V5000

It pretty much plays all Burned media Please if anyone can help PM me and let me know or send me an Email with a tutorial. Greenguy407[at]Hotmail.com

Hi Greenguy407,

Download the KVCD compatibility CD image, and try it on your player. This way you can verify which resolutions play on your standalone. The image is available here: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2464

OK I burned and tried them parts 1-3 worked but 4-6 had green stuff and glitched up. But parts 1-3 seemed a little faster in a couple of spots is there any way to correct this. Also it looked like those clips were captured from TV. The movie I tried to do was Xvid movie. Does it matter what codec was used to compress the movie or is it all in the Template

It's all in the way you encode. Seems your player is very picky about playing out of standard formats :!:
You're going to have to experiment, first try increasing your MIN bit rate to 600Kbps. See if that fixes the problem. If not, you can try encoding MPEG-2 instead of MPEG-1 :idea:.
That is, just load one of the templates, and change the encoding to MPEG-2. Make a small clip, and try it on your standalone.
Hopefully, someone that has your player can give more information :!:

mpg1 or mpeg2

Could this resolve my problem as well? I am referring to the post in which I was mentioning that at least one my players play CD-RW but only the first three segments of the test (and neither one of players recognizes the CD-R disc).

I will experiment a bit, as soon as I load all of the new software, but my question for the mpg2 change is: Where do you do it? At Tmpgenc? at Movie Stacker? TOK? all of the above? Please remember that I am going to change to avisynth 2.52 as well.

Thank you

How do I change the the MIN bit rate within TMPEG using the TEMPLATE's

Run TMPEG and load your template. Then click on "Settings/Video" and "settings" besides "Rate control mode". There you'll see the minimum bit rate.

I've also had a problem with my brothers player and it was due to the max bit rate being too high. I've read that some players only play CD media at x2 speed and with overheads I have had to drop the max bit rate down to below 2000. Encoding some test clips at various bit rates in CBR mode helped determine the upper limit.
