About the subtitles,I'm not sure if there's a way to have them separated and still play.You could call their support,and ask about it,or e-mail them. |

Curious. Why don't you just use
DVD -format? I see no reason to
use a DVD player to playback a
video designed for PC?
Strange. Or maybe I'm just stupid
and don't get the point.

What one person can watch with a PC in the captain's chair,
many can watch comfortably in a living room on a couch with
a stand-alone DVD Player. Plus, it's much more portable. |

Philips DVP720SA can do all that, including the subs.
The only thing it has a problem with is that DivX/Xvid with Packed Bitstream does not play smooth, a limitation of the mediatek chip used. . But you can take those out without re-encoding.
There is a very active modding scene for firmwares too. |

That's what I mean. Why not clean up
the video, and encoded it to DVD?
Or better yet - get the original DVD?
____
ex.
My friend asked "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds"
-movie as a Christmas -present.
I found the movie, but it was in really bad shape (probably
encoded by a blind monkey). I cleaned and mastered
the film (only slight improvement, but still improvement) to
DVD.
We watched the DivX -version (432 x 240 / 29.97) on the
player and projected it on screen with a projector.
Horrible.
Then we took the remaster, that had all kinds of low-pass
filters and nr's and such - and the difference was noticable.
... so that's why I asked.
Hih, sorry to butt in.

This is a good practice, and currently the most feasible and desirable end result of video processing.
On the other hand, with home videos I'll sometimes make VCDs because it's cheaper (CDs are about a quarter of the cost of DVDs), faster, and in some instances simpler, especially if quality is not my first priorty.
Of course, when I'm out for quality first, I always follow the method you prescribe. |

I think the reason some want a divx player is for convenience.If you got alot of divx files already on CDs,better to just get a player,than re-encode 100s or 1000s of files to DVD(could take forever).Also,you can store more than 2-3 hours of vids on DVD in divx format,and at high quality. |
