Hello everyone, i recently purchased a Phillips DVP3140 DivX certified DvD player. When i download video files i try to get them in the smaller formats mostly .rmvb and .mkv. I then convert them with WinAVI Video Converter usually using the xvid codect to convert them to .AVI. I then burn it to a data dvd using nero express. Now Heres my problem when i put it in the dvd player and play a file that was originally mkv and converted to avi using xvid the audio skips if more then one audio sound is being played i.e. music+characters voice talking they will both skip, or when just music is playing it skips. and then if i play the original mkv file on VLC theres no audio trouble so my question is is this problem happening because i convert using xvid or it is because the source file was mkv?

P.S. this same thing happens when i convert rmvb video files using xvid codec.

So if someone could tell my y this is happening it would be great i did some research online and i found this article Content visible to registered users only.

I'm going to go out on the lim here and say that maybe your problem lies in the fact your trying to make Xvid play on a Divx DVD player hey are different formats try converting with Divx it is better than Xvid now anyway.

Edit: Forget what I said I just re read your post still think it is a good idea to convert MKV's and RMVB to Divx though.

Well even if i convert to divx hd using winavi video converter the audio still skips on .mkv files i think that it might be the converter...

Have you tried Dr.Divx if it takes MKV's?

what resolution are the xvid files you converted to? also it is a good idea to change the fourcc's to divx, nero express can do this on the fly when u add avi files to a data dvd or cd. it is usually in the advanced options (arrow on left side of the window).

no ive never tried doctor divx ive always used winavi and toxic when i convert i just use like the first xvid option i dont mess around with the resolution or anything ill try the nero thing when im done downloading a couple movies but its only the audio because the video plays and doesnt skip and is perfectly fine.
