New DivX Player

[alexander]

Hello, I purchased an Eltax DV-251 from

http://gameloaded.co.uk/UK_Eltax_DV251_Compact_2935.htm

I started it up straight away and burnt some DivX Files onto DVD.

It takes a while for it to read them but it eventually starts.....


Every ten seconds or so the image becomes very, very pixelated and eventually just stops, the DVD player still works as I can still press pause, play etc. but it doesn't have any result on the picture.

It says it can play Divx so what do you think would be the problem?


PS:

I've decided that my current TV isn't up to much atall with huge running of colours and generally a **** picture.
The 19" Dell LCD looks very nice, would anyone recommend that? Or could anyone recommend anything for the £300 price range?

Does it do this for all DiVX files you play? I had this problem on something I was watching and put it down to a dirty disk. I re-burnt it and it was fine

Thanks for the help but I burnt several disks and used a USB key all to no avail.

I have phoned them up and they are going to collect it and replace it with the Yamada MX510, Hopefully this should be better.


Any ideas about the TV?

All DivX players are not created equal......

Could be decoding problem...could be firmware issue....could be the way that particular movie has been encoded.....could be just buggered!

Have a look at the dvdrhelp.com forums and also check the manual / specs to see if it has a MediaTek MT1389EE chipset (they're one of the best).
