I have the Panasonic DVD-RP62 dvd player. I can play vcd's just fine. However, no matter what I've tried it always plays back slow/choppy. I've tried decreasing the bitrate from 2500 to 1600. Someone said in another thread changing the headers to mpeg-1 might work...tried that. I've tried burning at 4x. Anyone know anythign else I can try? Btw...This is an divx/xvid file I encoded to mpeg-2 with tmpgenc and I used the wizard.
What standard did you encode to Ntsc or Pal, this will make a difference in the playback of your encoded mpeg. your machine might not be compatible for both. there is a way to check though at this website http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers
I checked the website above for your machine and it says your machine is not compatible to play svcd's, unless the vcd header trick work, which you said it didnt i dont think there is any way for you to watch svcd's on your machine Check out the specs for you machine hehttp://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDname=panasonic+dvd+rp-62&Submit=Search&Search=Searchre
