Hey guys, I have a Sony Hi-Fi system(MHC GNZ-8D)which plays DivX as well.
It will play any movie encoded with the Divx codec without any problem.
It also plays Xvid encoded movies (If people are familiar with aXXo's movies from TorrentSpy)with out problems. However not all of them.
Here 's the thing ,is there any way to check if the Xvid encoded movie is playable in the player without having to burn it on an RW and test it manually:@ .
Is there some restricton to the bitrate or resolution or something.
Because some Xvid's play fine but others dont.Then I have to re-encode which loses some quality. Any ideas on this one guys:huh:
 
May be firmware upgrade can help. Few player have issue with packed xvid bitstrem, you might want to check for it, in that case, get unpacker - search google
 
Run your XviDs through GSpot to determine XviD file details. Might just help you to determine which XviDs are playing and which are not.
 
Thanks guys .I'll try these out.Also what did you mean by update firmware.I mean its a Hi-Fi system not a computer component.
