RE: RAIDERS,STARWARS,EPISODE 2 ALL AVAILIABLE ON DVD NOW ?????

You`ll probably find that these are dvd`s that contain the vcd image -- ie transferred the vcd contents of both discs onto a dvd = poor quality

RE: Aiwa370 and SVCD

Jimbo

Can send you SVCD movie if you like

Aiwa370 and SVCD

Can anybody tell me for sure if there is anyway to get the 370 to play svcd`s since there are loads of films "on line " .
Is anybody working on a hack or should i just forget about SVCD`s and play the poorer vcd`s.

ps

No slagging please - this is a great forum and we don`t need the pages and pages full of spite - we just want good reliable info on all aspects of DVD`s /hacks /bargains /reviews etc etc. :o))

RE: VCD & SVCD for LG3350 & AIWA 370

jimbo

RE: AIWA MP3 problem

i use easy cd creator 4.02 - close the session and they play like a dream - file names are bollox but i can`t be bothered re typing being a lazy git.Do make sure that the file extensions are mp3 and not some other extension as some programs will modify them on the fly when you install their program.

RE: Techtronics` response on LG 3350E Macrovision query

Jimbo - let me know which chip is used for the macrovision -- and i`ll try and get the data sheet since most of these chips can be disabled by shorting a pin to ground .

RE: Problems with Aiwa

Just to add fuel to the Comet salesperson are tossers -- i went to 3 Comet shops and each one gave me the same speech that the Tosh was the one to buy but when i phoned other TV/audio retails i was told by a staff that the Aiwa is a great machine -- Comet plug the Tosh probably due to get more commision

RE: Aiwa 370 playing R1 black&white

try connecting your 370 straight to the Tv with the switch set to PAL - works on mine ok

RE: Is the AIWA Spec on the COMET website correct??

Go to Jimbo`s web page and you`ll see the outputs on the Aiwa -

Digital and Coax dts -- not 5 speaker output

RE: Dixv conversion

Have you tried converting a Divx file back to avi -- Tmpenc does the job but you need some processing power ( i just need a 900 mhz Duron and motherboard )
Can Clad convert the above :-))

RE: Watching Reigon 1 on Aiwa 370 and general picture qulality issues

Buy a decent scart lead ( not a B&Q £2.99 special ) and if your TV has 2 scart sockets try swapping the scart lead into the other socket .

RE: Watching Reigon 1 on Aiwa 370 and general picture qulality issues

My 370 setup is as follows

switch set to PAL
from the menu video set to composite
use a scart cable

However i did set it to s video from the remote and connected via the scart cable and did get screen break up ( the manual says no to do this - had to give it a go any way )
When i used the s video cable all was ok - the picture quality through scart cable with the correct setting is great as well

Have used a few region 1 dvd`s and the picture is s*** hot and if i ever meet Jimbo i`ll buy him a few pints for the great advice .

RE: Dixv conversion

Martin

Thanx for the site`s i`ll give them a try - the only film i converted had the mpg file extension and i used Easy cd creator from adaptec . I just dragged and dropped the file within their video menu and it converted it to vcd format ( i.e 2 tracks ).Nice and easy and although it was ntsc it played great on the Aiwa 370.The problem i have is movies encoded with Divx ( mpeg4 ) since easy cd creator doesn`t recongise the file as valid -- look like i`ll have to de compress the suckers ; split them then convert the files :o((

RE: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!everyone + Jimbo

stick the bugger underneath the video and you won`t see the top just the front and that`s silver -- problem solved -- get ROCKING man

Dixv conversion

Has anybody converted a cd with the Divx ( mpeg 4 ) codec on the pc so that it becomes VCD format and is playable on a dvd player -

any info would be welcome

ps

Aiwa Rocks !!!!!! thanx to Jimbo for the great site and making my choice of dvd player a simple one although Comet salesmen suck
