Different Playbacks on Different Players

[darkufo]

Hi All,

I'm fairly experianced with Computers (it's my job ) and DVDs etc... But I have 2 questions that has puzzled me.


I "own" a number of good DivX/XVid Movies. When I play these with the DivX player they all work fine and look terrific. However, if I play them on other Players I get either not able to play messages or the video is green and they contain a LOT of artifacts etc.

This is true on WMP 9, PowerDVD, and others.

I assume this is due to the codec that is being used to display,

So...

Q1) How can I see which codec is ACTUALLY being used by the DivX player to display the Movie.


Ok...

Also, I convert a Lot of DivX/Xvids to DVD for playback on my standalone player. To do this I use TmpGENC.

Most of the time TMPGENC works great, no problems .. perfect...

However, some AVI files come up with the same problem as mentioned earlier ie Green, Artifacts, Scenes merging into the next one...

SO....

Q2) How can I fix this in TMPGENC ? Is there a way to Force TMPGENC to use the same codec as the one that the DivX player uses to play the movie properly.

Many thanks inadvance.

That matter can i help you with:

You can eighter use GSPOT or FILTER GRAPH EDIT.

so much have i figured out, in that short time i have puzzled with Digital Films on my PC.

Hopes that helps you in the right direction.

neither WMP 9 nor PowerDVD is a decent mpeg-4 player

i prefer zoomplayer or bsplayer or media player classic for the job

and having FFDSHOW installed as a universal playbackfilter with superiour quality is a must imho
