Has anyone managed to make an SVCD disk that works properly on a Philips 711DVD?
By properly, I mean no jerky or jagged pictures.
If so - how?
Hi,
I have a Philips 751 which I think is basically the same as yours but with a Dolby Digital encoder built in. My SVCD's work fine, I use a DV500 to capture into Premiere 6 and then export to TMPGEnc and use the default PAL SVCD template with only a slight tweak to the quality settings, I can e-mail it to you if you want. I did find that some CD-R brands sometimes plays up on the Player (especially BASF).
I use CD-Rs from www.cdr-by-mail.com and burn them using WinOnCD 3.8 at 12x speed on a Sony CDRW drive and have had not a single problem disk
I hope that is of help
Regards
Lui
I have a Philips DVD 711 player and it plays my SVCDs with excellent quality, no jitter or breakup, text scrolling (from right to left)is perfect. 50% better than VHS tape.
I do not use authoring software.
I use the TMPGEnc v12i with SVCD template set to Highest Quality and burn the mpg file onto Dixons CD-RW 74min disks using WinOnCD 3.8PE software.
My only disapointment with the DVD711 is that the fast-forward buttons do not always work properly.
If your mpg files play OK on your computer screen they should play on your Philips player.

I have a DVD711 which is fine with SVCD.
The only real problem is that you have to be very carefull not to exceed the SVCD spec bitrate - with TMPGEnc I use 2450 video bitrate (CBR mode), 128 audio bitrate.
Also make sure your field ordering is correct.

I think I am getting there now.
It is just a shame versions above 12A have the 3 minute SVCD limit.
err, what 3 minute SVCD limit?
Tony
Yes - sorry - as soon as I posted I realised my mistake.
I used 12A last night - created a SVCD using 2450 and 48000hz audio - brilliant.
Thanks - bye bye VCD.
