DivX-DC is out.

Some great usefull reactions finally! The image I created selfboots and you can burn it easily with Disc Juggler, download it at http://www.padus.com .

Ok, I'm getting a little confused right now. Can somebody tell me what versions (or codecs) exist of Divx and wich one does this one support? If i'm right it doesn't support Divx 3.11?

There is Divx 3.x and Divx 4.x
This player currently supports 4.x
which i believe is based off of the
OpenDivx Source.

In the comments section of the first release news post gottahavit posted this info after a few people had said that they had some trouble getting some files playing:

"Sounds like you guys are trying to use Divx;-) 3.x, this is a Divx 4.x player. I may add Divx;-) 3.x support shortly depending on performance. It will not however perform as well as Divx 4.x video nor will it have the same quality at these bitrates.

Hope this helps. "

Um, thats your mistake; just burn it and use it in the DC without using a boot disk; it *is* self - boot, I burned it successfully myself, but I take no credit for making it, I believe its the same file that http://www.consolevision.com are hosting as well made by Sparkiller. It will load up a screen with a 3Dish floor, saying DCDivX "scanning directories" or something; then you just swap in a CD containing DiVX movies.

I don't think the mode settings matter; you *must* make sure that the filenames of the movies you want to watch are a total of no more than 11 characters (ie Fight_Club_DivX.avi will reset your DC, fclub.avi will play). I havent found any problems with any CDs I have tried so far, so I dont think the CD Mode is all that important - obviously make sure your burning prog writes your CDs as 'data' rather than 'audio'

DivX 4.12 encoded stuff at the right res / bitrate plays ok, and I have had partial success with old 3.11 stuff (audio only though which is probably due to the limited support for 3.11 which is included in Open DivX) and am going to have an experiment to see if any other formats like MPEG4 have any kind of support as well

340x240 23.00fps divx4
audio sample rate is 22050hz

ultradude · Post by **ultradude** » Sat Feb 02, 2002 10:35 am

hm...

well...i think all my DivX are larger then 11 charecters..so they all reset..and ya..it dont have 3.x support so when i try playing them.. it has no video..but audio is perfect. gottahavit said he was working on 3.x and mpeg-1 support now. ill ask him to fix the 11 charecter thing too.

You didn't encode to DivX4. You encoded to DivX3. Don't encode to DivX3. Make sure you know exactly which codec is the right one.

Actually Marc is adding 3.11 support as we speak and it should be out in the next release. The problem is the decore is optimized for 4.xx playback. So though it will have 3.xx support... you are better off encoding to 4.xx anyway.

I did as you say, but still nothing, what I did is, BURN the CD image that you gave to us, then I put it in because, as you said, its "self boot" after thisthe screen for the CD played appeared... And I don't think that is what so suppose to do... right?

Could anyone direct me to a decent site with no porn or "pLeAsE vOtE" banners that offers downloads of simpsons/star trek: The next generation, or other quality nerd viewing?

If this post is in violation of the board's policies, I sincerely apologize, and will not make a similar post again.

Yeah it is, no harm done but no asking for episodes anymore, mmmkay?

I've just tried Alpha 2 & it's pretty good, I played a file that I didn't encode & while it paused every now & then for the most part it played great. I can't wait for future releases of the player, it's going to be awesome!

ultradude · Post by **ultradude** » Sat Feb 02, 2002 1:03 pm

in alpha2, did u try to swap a disc? if so, what mode did u burn it in? and any files that worked for u...how many charectors did it have?

ColGraff · Post by **ColGraff** » Sat Feb 02, 2002 1:04 pm

Could anyone direct me to a site that is *legally* distributing some decent divx videos? Homebrew shorts, stuff like that? Not any TV eps or movies. Thanks!

Damn, i just cant get those isos burned, both diskjuggler and nero. Ive burn a lot of isos before, but with this one i get the error "illegally parameter" or maybe "block" im not sure. And with nero i get the error "disc at once dont supported" which is typical to me, but its still weird as with all the other programs im able to do it. Any ideas? anything would be truly apreciated, or could someone post an iso of alpha 2 for DJ, made by himself. Thanx.

DivX-DC is out.

So it works?

Where can I get simpsons/star trek/other?

Where can I get simpsons/star trek/other?

What about legal video downloads?

Could You...

Whoops

Problems with BOTH isos
