Hi everyone! This is my first post as a registered user on this website and I'd like to say that I love this place, I've lurked for the past year or so but now I have a question of my own. I have a Philips DVP642 which usually plays DivX files fine but I know it'll get chirpy if there's something wrong with the audio bitrate. The thing is the files I'm trying to watch were in OGM format, it came with two streams (one in english, one in japanese). As the DVP642 won't play OGM files I demuxed and reassembled the files with OGM2AVI (http://www.digital56k.com/tools/OGM2AVI.exe) and it works fine except for the random chopiness when it's playing on the DVP642. It first converts the OGG sound to WAV and then MP3 (112kbs bitrate initially) and I've tried it with 128 and 192 bitrates. The sound is just choppy at random points (explosions, some dialogue). Can anyone explain what's going or help? Thanks!
Could be the video that is the issue. There might be bitrate spikes. Also you might want to checkout mencoder. It can remux an ogm to avi whilst re-encoding the audio in one go.
Well PC's don't really care about bitrate spikes. Standalones do and the DVP642 I think is especially bad. dll error? You shouldn't get that for a DivX ogm with vorbis audio. Only time that mencoder should require dll's is for decoding stuff like real video.
Well I get a DLL crash error with msvcrt.dll when I try to encode with Mencoder. I'm running on a Pentium 3 801mghz machine with Windows XP Pro. How would I correct bitrate spikes?
What build of mencoder? Is it mine? Because the last couple of builds I enabled SSE/SSE2. I couldn't get it to crash here though. Re-encode to XviD or DivX using the HT profile.

This in theory could cause mencoder to crash (reason it was disabled in the first place). However I ran several tests and couldn't get it to crash, so I released builds with SSE/2 enabled. That said I don't have a P3, plus there are that many different options in mencoder. I did test audio re-encoding though.
Your build seems to be working! I'll test it out on the DVP642 after it's done converting and get back to you. Edit: It's working perfectly now! Thanks a lot celtic_d.
