HD Playback issues

First, check to make sure your file is complete by running it through RapidCRC or checking it with a torrent. If it's incomplete, the torrent will fill in the broken parts.

Don't use Quicktime, Realmedia, or WMP to play our files. Basically, they suck, and you're going to have a bad time.

Use VLC, Gom Player, or Media Player Classic with some codec packs installed.

Rowen-Kei Kindly die in a fire.


Also please don't post just to advise that PS3 works. After plenty of people telling us that PS3 works we've got the message.

Please report only issues and error messages with playing the files so that we can better keep track to figure it out without scrolling through a lot of posts.

Thanks.

Since you guys changed the HD source for Shinkenger, i started getting some sort of video distortion with a few players (particulary WMP/Classic), but it works fine on VLC.

Az, I also noticed that since shinken 44 you havn't been including a chapter file in the mp4 anymore, also a fault of the switched encoding program?

Too busy trying to inverse telecine the file to 23.976 when it has already been deinterlaced craply in the first place (field blending, which further complicates the IVTC since you don't have the original interlaced source anymore) to remember XD?

Using Media Center and Windows Media Player I can't get any of the HD files for any of our shows or movies to play on XBOX360. SD shows up (subs get cut off though) and will work but HD does not.

Also I was PM'd with the following:

I tried stuff from other groups that don't use XviD and it seems none of their stuff will show either... apparently xbox doesn't like other formats?

That wouldn't make any sense, unless there's some signal that are encoded in BluRay that is undetectable on any format but the Xbox. If they could prevent piracy so easily, why wouldn't they just make it so nothing could be played when HD ripped? Your friend probably just doesn't know what he's talking about

Has anyone who used their 360 to watch releases using the Optional Media Update on the XBOX Marketplace? Maybe that's why the sudden errors are coming up?

Well takenoko it seems to be the truth. None of the HD releases will work on my 360 what so ever, but SD works.

And gunzy I haven't done that.

You're talking about something totally different than the claim since we've only encoded one Blu-Ray so far.

Plus other people seem to be able to play our HD releases fine, with the exception of recent releases

<there was a post here indicating that Kabuto doesn't play on my PS3 (via TVersity as the media server/auto-converter-when-"necessary") but after typing it all out and even proudly previewing it and even submitting it, only THEN did I notice the specific interest was with HD encodes. So...nothing to see here, move along, sorry for taking up space in the thread...>

(although if anybody knows more than nothing [my knowledge levels, approx.] about all of this and can help figure out why K won't play, I'm all about being helped out :wink: )

well I have found the cause of the issue anyway,

I had a slight error in the settings that the AVC level was at 4.2, seems XboX cant handle 4.2 where as the PS3 can

I have tweaked a few other settings to try and balance out the compatibility of the encodes on the devices

Hey, I thought I was the only one! I tried Shinkenger 46 and 47 HD and they didn't work. Just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, I tried the Goseiger HD Promo, and that worked. Will there be re-releases of these episodes fixing these problems? Also, will future encodes be fixed as well?

future eps should be compliant, back eps for 45-47 wont, 41-44 if a new raw source appears, but no guraentees on anything

I might release a sample clip to see if my new settings work on the 360 tonight just to make sure before i encode a full ep of something
