Hey everyone, I baught a philips dvp642 divx player to play Avi's on my tele it works great on AVI's i rip in windozzze but won't when i rip them with acidrip. The picture is excellent but the audio is soo far off it's like watching a foreign film lol. Now the AVI file plays Fine in gmplayer or xine but just not in my home divx player
Another note, when i take the AVI File I ripped with acidrip and run it through avidemux it tells me i need to rebuild the key frames so what's up with that?
I am trying to do all this on FC3.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys!

hmmm, i have the exact same dvd player, and the videos I rip with mencoder (the backend for Acid Rip) work fine. Here are the lines I use (abouts anyways)...
mencoder dvd://1 -ovc frameno -o framno.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128
mencoder dvd://1 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vpass=1:vbitrate=1000 -vop scale=640:480 -o out.avi
mencoder dvd://1 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vpass=2:vbitrate=1000 -vop scale=640:480 -o out.avi
Splitting:
mencoder dvd://1 -oac copy -ovc copy -endpos 3600 -o out_1.avi
mencoder dvd://1 -oac copy -ovc copy -ss 3600 -o out_2.avi

NVM i'm dunce lol it worked gr8!

I converted 1 movie using those lines it worked great on the computer but yet again it doesn't play properly on the divx machine. And this is what is happenening now, I don't know what the problem is but this is really starting to annoy me because it's hours wasted to see this piece is a piece...
Does anyone know how to make this stuff *work* and actually RIP a DVD that doesn't have the voice over like a bad foeign film?

Could be a bug in libavcodec, try getting the latest ffmpeg http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/index.php
or try getting the latest MPlayer and reinstalling it.
I've honestly never had a problem w/ mencoder and my player... It told me to rebuild the frames once when I had accidently burned a file that was like 720mb onto a 700mb CD and it cut off some of the last bit. I could still play it on my computer, but couldn't seek.

I uninstalled ffmpeg and mplayer it's skins every plugin etc. I then did a fresh install of mplayer (without the optimization option because i couldn't find it) I did the cvs install of ffmpeg off the website and it's the same thing, it'll play fine in mplayer or windoze but not the divx machine. I still can't get dvd::rip to install so I don't know what else i can use to do it.
And this is what dvdrip gives me when i try to run it

I did a fresh install of FC3 on my new HD i baught and it still does the same thing. but now When I try to play the file in windoze it says that there may be no video stream, same as when i try to recode the file with Dr Divx it tells me that there may be no video stream. I got both acidrip and dvdrip to work and they both produce the same result so i'm sure it's something to do with the video codecs or something i have no clue, any ideas?
Thanks again!!

Adding "harddup" filter and setting limit ("vrc_maxrate") on max bitrate can help to some extent

but based on my experience, still no 100% guarantee :-(
