![]() Among all of these movies there’s at least 2 dozen kid-friendly shows, so I’ve got plenty of road trip entertainment ready for the kids. Now I have nearly 100 movies/TV shows that can be viewed on the rear monitors in my car (since SD will cannot be viewed on the rear monitors, and looks bad anyway). They worked perfectly, and looked as good as a DVD on the small screens (7” for Z110BT and 8.8” for the rear monitors). They were already burned onto DVD (I have several dozen of these DVDs, with 3-5 movies on each of them), so I had nothing to lose. These files have a FourCC that identifies them as Xvid (I think it’s virtually the same profile as generic divx), so I really did not think they would work. ![]() Now, knowing that these files worked, I tried some video files I had encoded with CloneDVD Mobile some time ago at ~1400kbps and 720x400 for an old Archos video player (that I no longer have, left under a seat on a plane over 2 years ago). In SD mode, 4:3 video was stretched to fill the screens, which was rather irritating. ![]() Quality was better, because, in Disc mode, the aspect ratio was correct (4:3 displayed without stretching on both main and rear monitors, as did 16:9. It was recognized as DivX and worked flawlessly. It only takes a second to change the FourCC to whatever you want using ABCavi, as no recoding is required (though, the wrong FourCC could make the video unplayable).Īfter confirming that playback worked on my PC with the changed FourCC, I burned them to DVD and checked them in the Z110BT. to be on the safe side, I changed the FourCC to DIVX/DX50, which is correct for the commercial DivX 5.0 codec. Next, I wanted to test the same files to see if they'd play as DivX via the DVD drive. I also tried a video at 1280 kbps and 852 x 480 this gave a bitrate error when I tried to play it via SD. I then confirmed that these would play via the SD drive without any issues. The software output these files with a FourCC identifying it a Xvid (FourCC = DIVX/DIVX). I encoded some of my kids' shows into a generic divx format with CloneDVD Mobile at 768kbps and 480 x 360. I focused in on the mpg4 video w/mp3 audio formats because they appeared to be the same standard. Updated as of See post 3 for more detailsīLUF = ClonedDVD Mobile Generic divx format works on both SD and DVD-based DivX, with bitrate limitations for SD.Īfter installing my Z110BT this weekend, I started some experimentation on compatible video formats. Note: There are some changes in the numbers below since I posted earlier, I was posting from memory, and got some of the resolutions wrong.
