Xvid won't play on my DVD

    Hey,
    I have a DVD which is able to play DivX and XviD files (tested many times). Recently, I have encountered several XviD files which my DVD was unable to play.
    At first I thought it was because the bitrate it too high, as it was 1887 kbps, so I recompressed it using VirtualDubMod into a XviD 860 and 1000 kbps to no avail.
    My DVD is able to play XviD with much higher bitrate (1100 e.g.) I tested it myself.

    Does anyone have any suggestion where to look for an answer? things to try?

    Thanks.

    Most players only support avi/.divx as a container. What container is your file?
    Some other specs might help, but if re-encoding didn't fix it then my guess is that the resoltion is too high.

    Thanks dude, I saw your post on videohelp and thanked you there as well :)
    you are right in your guess, it's 960x528.
    How do I change the resolution?

    Well you have to re-encode. Easiest way is probably to use something like AutoGK. Could also do it manually. Just resize to 720x400 or lower.
