My divx AVI wont play on BetaPlayer

I just converted my Family Guy episodes from a divx AVI to a smaller divx avi with res of 640x480 with pocket divx encoder.

I tried playing with beta player, and TCMP and neither work

They say the format is not format is not supported. Betaplayer says it cannot find a plugin for DX50. This is the plugin for divx, so it should work ?

What am i missing

What program did you use to convert the file?

Never had any problems with using that program. Will the files play on your PC? If not you might need to try encoding them again.

I haven't had any problems with PocketDivXEncoder also, however, I rarely encode in that high of a resolution.

They should play fine with BetaPlayer...

If you still can't get them working, reinstall BetaPlayer.

Buck up and get more memory. Recoonverting conversions never works well. Re-Encode your episodes from the DVD with a smaller file size this time. If you don't own the DVD well that's a different story...

What was the origional resolution of the Family Guy episode?

Your post reads as if you reduced them FROM a resolution greater than 640x480. I am just curious as to the origional resolution since it is a waste of bits to encode at a higher resolution than the source material.

Also. What media ( Compact Flash, Secure Digital? ) are the episodes on?

Are you using ActiveSync to transfer them to your PDA?

If the above questions are YES, then this might be your problem.

Using ActiveSync to transfer DivX avi's to your PDA to a flash card COULD corrupt the video. I encode all my DVD's to either 720 x ??? or 640 x ??? ( before cropping ) on my PC. I cannot use ActiveSync to transfer them since they don't play correctly. I have to use my PC and flash card reader to transfer them to the flash card.

My DivX videos are in excess of 700 MB a piece, so I cannot test just a direct transfer to the PDA's main memory.

If you don't have flash media, then I would suggest getting a two gigger and a flash reader for your PC as you will need it for video.
