    Hmm, nothing unusually. You can see that they are pbs and you have said you have m4modded them, so no problems there.

    Do they peak at very high bitrates? Are they being read off a CD-R, CDRW, DVD-R or DVD-RW?

    A stopping and starting avi sounds like a xvid with gmc, which these are not. You've seen what the stuttering effect pbs has, so not that then. You are reading from DVD-R so that's better to cope with high bit rate.

    Hmmm

    Try different media with the unpacked pbs. Or. Try your disk in a friend's divx player.

    Is your player having trouble with other disk? Pre-pressed DVDs?

    I'm stumped.

    Yeah Markus I have installed it,,, It plays the naruto (DB) episodes that I could not play before and has a better looking interface. Dfinatley worth upgrading for me.

    FishKing,,, do you know of a stand alone player like the Yamada or the Kiss,, Phillips etc. that can play .MKV or .OGM movies and all the other wierd formats? I want to buy a new Divx player and really want the best and the latest with possibly .mkv support. Any suggestions.

    ooops... i was being thick. They're the same thing but at a different URL right?

    :$

    Also, while i'm here. I just burn that to a CD and put it into my Yamada 6600 and follow the onscreen steps yes? no?

    Cheers :)

    Yeah BigM,,

    Burn a CD-RW,,, Close the session ,,, pop it in your DVD player,,, it will start automatically,, then press PLAY/OK and follow the steps.

    I used this link though to DL my Firmware.

    http://home.planet.nl/~feer0011/yamadaV15+...sub+TXT+SUB.rar

    Unzipped and burned the ISO with Nero Burner.

    I still feel there is a lot they can imporve on with the packed bitstream playback as it can slow down during play,, stick or have sound ever so slightly out of sysnc,, sometimes it starts the AVI without sound,,, but overall,, just restart the episode/file again and it plays perfectly fine. Props to Temi and his team for suporting Packed Bitstream. :)

    Sorry to ask loadsa questions but I have downloaded the firmware from my first link and it came in a .zip file.

    I have extracted it and i am left with a folder with a .bin file inside. What do i burn to disk? The .bin file, the whole folder, the .zip file?

    Or do i have to Acohol 120 the .bin file ?

    If u use the Firmware from the link I gave u above (its the same version as what u have got. Then Unzip the Frimware and u will see a File called yamada,, it should be in winRar format.

    Then just open Nero Burner,, say "Burn Disc Image",
    broswe to your image, (select show "All Files")
    Select the yamada.rar and burn away, remember to close the session (finalise the CD).

    Or otherwise,, yes just open Nero Burner or Alcohol and select the .bin file that u have there. And burn it. If u have a .cue file then u could also just open that and burn it.

    I have a 6600 in my home. I'm not able to play dual layer DVD (both + and -) burned with my LG GSA-4167. Do you know about some declared limitation about this media format or a way to solve this matter? FW upgrade? To which version?

    Thanks,
    Enrico.

    Hey there!

    I just bought this dvd-divx player today and I was just wondering whether it is normal that it emits a fairly loud whizzing noise when a dvd is inside the player.

    Irritating.

    I thought the 6600 was discontinued a long time ago. Are you sure you just bought a 6600 and not something else?

    Yes it is a dvx6600. It is a second hand guarantee "repaired" version.
    There goes my faith in guarantee "repaired" versions.

    It works quite badly anyways. Not recognizing normal dvd's at times and hanging in mid film.

    Luckily I got a 6 month guarantee on it.

    The infamous 'Disc Error' finally hit me! Just over a year of working okay, apart from the same niggles the other folks here have been having, then it hit.

    Thankfully having been reading the thread here the ol' remove ribbon cable, clean and re-insert worked fine.

    So a big THANK YOU to all who have contributed here.

    My own divX problems (earlier in this thread) were solved with just getting rid of the player divX6600 player I had.

    You who wanted to know about firmware updates to the 6600 I suggest you look into ProCasters since I think Yamada is these days is manufacturing their divx players under that name. My ProCaster model looks identical to the Yamada 6600 model apart from the name.

    Hope that helps,

    Lauri
