I recently purchased an LG LHT854 5.1 Home Theater with up to Divx 5 playback. I had been using a PC and then a Philips Home Theater prior to that.
My Problem: When I try to playback Xvid videos via USB (TV shows primarily), the shows are squished vertically so that there are black bars at the top and bottom and the people look short and slightly fat, though the picture is clear and smooth and the sound is synced. These videos have played via my Laptop connected via HDMI and my old Philips system with no issues...I made sure to test an old video I had. This makes me believe the LG HTIB hardware is not recognizing the video properly as DIVX and not reading the video headers properly or something similar.
Is there something I can do to the video to make it more compatible with the player or recognized and read as a Divx 5.0(or lower) avi?
* Changing the FourCC with AVIC to DIVX or DX50 does nothing.
* Using MPEG4 Modifier to change the display AR to 16:9 does nothing
