    Hello everybode,

    I'm new here so i try to explain my problem at best as i can.
    I have an Samsung DVD home cinema system with a USB connector at the front.
    I can connect my external Harddisk drive to play movies from this disk.
    It can play MPEG, VOB, DivX (avi), MP3, JPEG and a lot more.
    I converted some DVD's to AVI (DivX) and they play well.
    However, some AVI's doens't play!
    Can someone explain to me why the one AVI will play and the other not.
    I did search for differences in the files, like audio and video encoding and some of them are different from file to file and will play, but like i said before, some does not.
    I find it very strange, or better said unexplainable.
    When starting a movie the player (Samsung) gives an notification on the tv screen (Samsung widscreen HD-ready tv):
    "Reading Index" and the movie starts.
    However with other AVI files (also Divx converted)it doesn;t show the message and another movie somewher on the harddisk will begin to play!

    Well, beats me!

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Luke

    Use MediaInfo and see the difference between the AVI hat does play and the one that doesn't play.

    Well, thanks for your help.

    I did use this program.
    But i couldn't figure out what was wrong.
    Then iremembered having a program called virtualdub.
    I used the program and there where some things wrong.
    After using the program and saved it as an AVI (full processing) they do play now!

    Thanks

    greetz,
