[BUG] 1.7.2.0/1: Divx created cannot be read

[pr2]

Hello,

I start this morning to convert one per one the TV Series Earl with cloneDVD mobile, everything was running fine then I was prompt to update.

I update to the latest version and continue my conversion... unfortunatelly the DivX generated with this version 1.7.2.0/1 cannot be played back on my PC, nor on my Azbox HD (STB + Mediaplayer).

So I am really disappointed because I spent the whole to convert my TV series and it doesn't work.

All the episode that I convert with the old version were playing fine, not the one created with this very last version.

My PC refuse to play them back complaining about a not installed codec and the Azbox show the very first image and start play the sound and immediately stop.

So the process is indeed really faster with this version but the generated files are not usable.

i guess that the header is wrong, here is the result with mediainfo with the newly created files.

I have much more information in a working file created with the old version.

unfortunatelly the DivX generated with this version 1.7.2.0/1 cannot be played back on my PC

No problems with Generic DivX here (with 1.7.2.1).

Hello,

You didn't state what "the old version" of CloneDVD mobile was, so I can't address that.
All I can say is that there was no change concerning DivX for quite some time, now.

I just checked DivX - also with "My Name is Earl".
Zero problems here.
Works on Archos as well.

Same error

I get the same error - file not readable with the latest version (1.7.2.1).

As standard I always output to divX, max resolution and I do 3 passes.

I installed on my other machine and tried it out and it worked on that machine. I went back to my normal machine and tried with only 1 pass. The file worked fine.

I am currently trying it on 2 passes, if that does not work then for the time being I will stick to 1 pass.

For me though the file cannot even be read, no thumbnail appears (if viewing the folder in such a manner) and windows/vlc both say there is an error with the file.

EDIT: 2 passes did not work. The DVDs the new version which did not work (on multiple passes) are 300, A History Of Violence and The Abyss

Same on here - since I updated to 1.7.2.1, I can not create playable divx files anymore.
I choose Generic divx in 640x480 with deinterlace and 2-pass encoding to convert some old dvd series episodes. The resulting file is not playable with my players (vlc, wdlive) and freezes after few seconds.

This worked fine with the last version 1.7.1.0 but not anymore with the new version. So I downgraded and all works again.

I can not create playable divx files anymore.

You could try updating the DivX codec.

I don't have any divx codec installed and not planning to install one. I use vlc player (1.1.8) and also some standalone players which also are not really updatable easily.
