Mediaplayers and DV.avi

[erdna]

Mediaplayers are not compatible with DV.avi files. So I need to convert my DV.avi movies which I made/kept during several years to a mediaplayer compatible format. I want to keep as much as possible the original DV quality. I tried almost all conversion possibilities within VSX3. MOV conversion looks as one of the best, but like I mentioned in another thread I only get progressive mode, which unfortunately results in judder when there is motion, line twitter because of the (poor?) VS deinterlacer, which also cause staircasing on slant structures (linedoubling?). Up to now I keep it on an MPEG2 9800kb/s LFF conversion. Someone has a better idea?

Hello Erda,

Have you tried using WinDVD 2010? If not, you can try and test it by downloading the trial via www.corel.com/trials.

Abiel, sorry my post was confusing. I was talking about HW multimedia players, like RyonHD, Dune, Mede8er. Most of them include a HDD (like my Ryan). Videofiles can be played back e.g.via HDMI.

What files will your media player play, we can choose from the list as to which we think is the best.

My mediaplayer is from AC Ryan (Playon!HD). http://www.playonhd.com/nl/?upn=product ... info=specs As you can read, the player plays about everything, except DV.avi files, just like all other Sigma and Realtec processor based players. It can handle AVI containers like Xvid, Dvix,...but not the DV avi codec.

I think you've got the best possible option in your original post.
