Hello,
I bought a portable DVD player, a Takara DIV110R, for my boys in the car. I don't use DVDs because they're not practical to transport. I had tons of cartoons on a hard drive that play very well when I use a USB stick. I then ripped the DVDs I had at home and that's where the problem lies. None of them work. I understood it was a codec issue. When I use my software, Freemake Video Converter, to rip the DVDs to avi, it encodes them in H264, whereas apparently, Xvid is needed for my player. So I thought it didn't matter and, since I have Format Factory, I transformed the H264 to Xvid and it still doesn't work... I assume it's not the right Xvid. But now I'm out of ideas.
What should I do, doctor?

hi
if you have a divx that plays, use mediainfo to learn its characteristics.
to know video codec
audio codec etc.
for your player it's (maybe)
avi(xvid+mp3)
for freemake
click on DVD+ to import your source
click at the bottom on avi
on profile click on the dropdown menu then choose "tv quality"
you will have xvid+mp3
below click on the gear icon.
there you have the configuration.
image size
click then 640x480
video codec click then choose xvid or mpeg4 (depending on the result of mediainfo)
framerate (frame frequency, the same as your dvd)
for bitrate either auto or custom (to make a test) depending on the desired output size, for example 700mb
under audio mp3 bitrate 128.
do not use h264 as codec.
finally refer to the player manual.
cheers

Codec: MPEG4 for Takara DIV110R.

Uh... I don't know much about it, but MPEG4 uses several video codecs, so Xvid or H264, right? So why do my Xvid videos that I already have play, while the ones I create myself don't?
re
there is also this on ccm
http://www.commentcamarche.net/guide/2764066-takara-div110r
the codec specified is mpeg4 as stated by atlas
so in freemake use mpeg4 first (gear icon, video codec, then mpeg4
freemake has a cutting tool, so test it on a 10-minute file
for example.

another question ;)
I'm ripping DVDs thanks to your advice and there's one that has a sound issue. The audio is out of sync. The others are fine, but when I rip this one it shifts the sound by at least a second and a half. I've set it to mp3 128 kbps.
Any idea what it could be?

Hi
is the delay happening at the beginning or gradually?
if it's gradual, it might be due to the frame rate not being right.
if it’s at the beginning
open your avi file with vlc, it has an audio synchronization tool. Try to determine the delay.
right now I'm not on my PC, so I don't have Freemake.
It's possible to realign once you determine the duration using VirtualDub or
another tool.
I'll give you a site called videohelp.com, there you'll find a bunch of software
that might be useful to you someday.

Honestly, you’re really great ;)
The delay is direct and is the same all the way through. Thanks to your option on VLC (which I didn’t know about), I randomly typed in 1 second to test in synchronization and it’s almost perfect right away!
What causes this delay? I mean, why on this DVD and not the ten I did yesterday?

Hi
in theory, there is no delay or fast forward on a DVD, it is always 0. There may be a delay
on a TNT recording. It's possible that your initial images freeze, meaning they are stuck
for a very short period of time. This happens. You can notice it on virtualdub for example.
or use dgindex which demuxes the video and audio into a rm2v file (for video) and ac3 (for audio); if there’s a delay, it will be indicated in the audio file. But that is just information I'm giving you. That’s why it’s very useful to use mediainfo. Now you’re starting with DVDs in avi
I think your curiosity will drive you to go further. You’ll encounter other problems :-)
vlc allows you to determine the delay or advance precisely. But this is only temporary
you will need to repeat the operation each time.
you can try re-encoding it; it might be a bug. or use software like virtualdub
(also install the xvid codec) or play with a muxer like avimux gui or use other encoding software
that offers the function to insert a delay.
I'm going to do a demo with avimux gui. It aligns but does not re-encode the video, it's quick.

For avimux gui if you want to use it (it provides good services)
or type avimux gui video help.com on Google and download it from there.
or
http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/
Open avimux gui.
1) drag the video into the top window.
2) double click on the name of your video (still in the top window)
it will turn blue, then it will appear in the bottom window "video and audio"
3) double click on "audio" then to the right "delay (ms)" will appear
you report your value determined with vlc be careful a positive value gives advance
a negative value gives delay (-1000).
4) click at the bottom on start.
if the software is in English.
put your cursor next to "open files (add files via drag ...) at the top.
right click then under "language" choose French.
the adjustment will be definitive. this avoids re-encoding.
so here is one quick method for avi(xvid+mp3)

for virtualdub, always useful.

maybe just one last thing.
image size 640x480 you've also customized. you can perhaps reduce it given the small screen size (not too much though) while still keeping values that are multiples of 2.
under adjustment leave "original" as it's the ratio.
"codec" so xvid
frame rate either "original" or specify that of your source.
type of bitrate. important, if you leave it on auto you will have a high value. so an output file size will be high. you can set it to 1000 for a 1h30 video. if you lower it too much the size will be reduced at the expense of quality. it's up to you to test (if you really want to decrease the output size)
for audio mp3 at 128 kbps.
also be careful with resolution, stay within a range below 720x576.
you finally have the option to save your profile.
you just have to test and find a good compromise between size/quality
