gpborges Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi folks, I would like to start this topic so that we can help each other to get our F series units playing videos off of SD/USB card. I have some Divx (xvid) in .avi format I've downloaded from the web and some of them works. However, they're not optimized to the Pioneer AVIC F series resolution, etc and I would like to find out the 'best video codec setup' in order to convert my videos. I'm planning to use Handbrake once it's available for all main platforms (Mac, Win and Linux) and it's a very flexible tool for encoding/decoding videos. I've read the specs in the operation manual and tried to match them using Handbrake for encoding some sample videos. Here is one of the videos which works: General Complete name : /media/9016-4EF8/Videos/Shows/Capital.Inicial.MTV.Ao.Vivo.avi Format : AVI Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave File size : 805 MiB Duration : 1h 28mn Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 1 270 Kbps Writing application : VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.2 (build 2540/release) Writing library : VirtualDubMod build 2540/release Video ID : 0 Format : MPEG-4 Visual Format profile : Advanced Simple@L5 Format settings, BVOP : 2 Format settings, QPel : No Format settings, GMC : No warppoints Format settings, Matrix : Default (H.263) Muxing mode : Packed bitstream Codec ID : XVID Codec ID/Hint : XviD Duration : 1h 28mn Bit rate : 1 136 Kbps Width : 640 pixels Height : 352 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate : 23.976 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.210 Stream size : 720 MiB (89%) Writing library : XviD 1.0.3 (UTC 2004-12-20) Audio ID : 1 Format : MPEG Audio Format version : Version 1 Format profile : Layer 3 Mode : Joint stereo Mode extension : MS Stereo Codec ID : 55 Codec ID/Hint : MP3 Duration : 1h 28mn Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 121 Kbps Nominal bit rate : 128 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 77.0 MiB (10%) Alignment : Aligned on interleaves Interleave, duration : 24 ms (0.58 video frame) Interleave, preload duration : 458 ms Writing library : LAME3.90. Encoding settings : -m j -V 4 -q 2 -lowpass 17.6 --abr 128 And here is a video which I converted from a mkv file I have, where I tried to match the settings with no success: General Complete name : /home/gpborges/Videos/Pioneer_AVIC_F90BT/Madonna.Sticky.and.Sweet.Tour.2009.avi Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media / Version 2 Codec ID : mp42 File size : 1.04 GiB Duration : 2h 5mn Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 1 195 Kbps Encoded date : UTC 2012-07-04 05:33:54 Tagged date : UTC 2012-07-04 07:40:45 Writing application : HandBrake 4602svn 2012042301 Video ID : 1 Format : MPEG-4 Visual Format profile : Simple@L1 Format settings, BVOP : No Format settings, QPel : No Format settings, GMC : No warppoints Format settings, Matrix : Default (H.263) Codec ID : 20 Duration : 2h 5mn Source duration : 2h 5mn Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 999 Kbps Maximum bit rate : 3 607 Kbps Width : 640 pixels Height : 360 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 23.976 fps Minimum frame rate : 23.810 fps Maximum frame rate : 24.390 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.181 Stream size : 895 MiB (84%) Source stream size : 895 MiB (84%) Writing library : Lavc53.15.0 Encoded date : UTC 2012-07-04 05:33:54 Tagged date : UTC 2012-07-04 07:40:45 Color primaries : BT.709-2, SMPTE 274M, SMPTE 296M Transfer characteristics : BT.709-2, SMPTE 170M, SMPTE 274M, SMPTE 293M, SMPTE 296M Matrix coefficients : BT.709-2, SMPTE 274M, SMPTE 296M Audio ID : 2 Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format profile : LC Codec ID : 40 Duration : 2h 5mn Source duration : 2h 5mn Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 192 Kbps Maximum bit rate : 298 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 172 MiB (16%) Source stream size : 172 MiB (16%) Language : English Encoded date : UTC 2012-07-04 05:33:54 Tagged date : UTC 2012-07-04 07:40:45 I'm trying various settings and couldn't get anyone yet to work. Lets join forces here and find out a "perfect video codec setup" and then I can share a Handbrake preset with everybody here. Looking forward your feedback! Gabriel.
