HACHA R280s VIDEO HELP PLEASE!!!
 

hello, i recently purchased a hacha r280s player from house of dap. The problem is that using the bundled encoder 'aviconverter 3.0' i can only encode xvid at 20fps. Thomas @ houseofdap said that hacha informed him that 24fps was possible. I have encoded a file useing the settings which are xvid with mp2 audio but I boosted the framerate to 23.98fps. The files play back smoothly however the audio and video is out of sync or is in sync but goes out after scrolling thorugh. Can anyone help, I notice others have had similar problems but i can't make sense of any of the threads. I'm going mad trying to sort this out, can anyone help me please???? (screen res is 320X240)

I use aviconverter v3.0 and it converts to 24fps.

Get it here

Then I use IMTOO GP3 video converter on the video I converted with Aviconverter (for those few movies that get out of sync) and it works perfect. The howto for the IMTOO or Xilisoft video (they are clones) converter is here

thankyou very much for your help dave, much appreciated. i do have aviconverter 3.0 but it seems to only do 20fps. Am I missing some settings? i will try with xillisoft, Do you own a hacha yourself?

If you need the ImToo 3gp converter w/keygen let me know i'll upload it.
Also there is a program thats called "tell me about divx" and it will decipher your avi files and tell give you all the info about it. (This movie was done using aviconverter 3.0)

thanks again dave, i have tried the version of xillisoft you originally posted and it works great with only one problem. On All the files I have encoded the audio sounds terrible its in sync but just very tinny with a lot of high pitched background noise as compared with the original is this normal? If you could post the registered version with keygen that would be great

right, i managed to get a hold of the full version of xilisoft converter in the end, but now I have a different problem. I converted a few episodes of family guy at 320X240 24fps 600kb data rate with 96kbps mp2. All these files work perfectly. However when I encode widescreen content such as a dvd rip or an hdtv episode of Entourage at exactly the same settings (apart from the aspect ratio which I changed to 1.777 or 16:9) the videos are in sync when you play them (even when you scroll through) but after about 1 minute the audio and video start to go out of sync, what could tyhe problem be do you think?

I've had a similar problem on occasion. Not with your specific software and conversion but with AMV conversions.

One particular episode of a TV series wouldn't convert from VOB to MPEG1 using SUPER converter (pre VDub processing) without the audio becoming unsynched as the episode played. The other 8 episodes on the DVD converted fine but this particular one wouldn't convert properly.

I tried all sorts of approaches including changing the settings in SUPER and converting to various formats using several codecs. Nothing worked.

I finally cut the episode into 4 five minute segments and adjusted the audio track postiion in VDub, for each of the 4 segments. That worked somewhat but took a lot of time as the shift got progressively worse in the original SUPER conversion, as the episode played. When I was done, the audio was still slightly out of synch by the end of each segment.

Recently had a similar audio synch problem with an animated full length movie. Both DVDs were original ones that I had purchased so the source was good. One was animated content and the other wasn't.

What I've ended up doing to resolve this has been to change my approach in capturing the original source. Even if things go smoothly, it takes a long time to rip a DVD, convert the VOB files to MPEG1 to feed into VDub, process with VDub then finally to AMV. Processing from VOB to MPEG1 using SUPER takes about as long as playing the piece, never mind the other stuff and this is if there is no additional fiddling required.

What I do now is to connect my DVD player to my computer via a Hauppauge input/caputure device that I have. Play the content and record it using the MPEG1 VCD recording option in the Hauppauge software.

I can open this file directly with VDub as it is recorded in MPEG1, do my image adjustments, audio adjustment and splitting (5 minute chunks usually) using VDub and then convert to AMV. It takes much less time over all and the results are predictable.

This approach can be used to input direct TV feeds, VCR tapes, digital camera videos, ... . Also, the Hauppauge software seems stable and processor efficient so my computer is usable while the initial capture and MPEG1 recording process is occurring. I expect this approach would work with capture devices in general.

Hope this helps.

thanx for the help. I did try some other settings and I appear to have had some much better results. Originally, using xilisoft I encoded some episodes of family guy @ 320X240 (24fps) 600kb data rate and 128kbps mp2 sound. These files play back perfectly on my hacha r280s (2.83" screen). I then tried to encode a dvd rip and hdtv entourage episode using the same settings. Both these files had A/V sync problems after about 1 or 2 minutes of playback. So I dropped the data rate to around 400kps on the entourage episode and it played back well (I think this could be boosted to about 425 as I tried at 450 and this played back almost perfect but did desync once and I had to scroll on a bit then it played fine for the rest) . I have yet to try a full dvd rip but I am hoping this will provide some optimal settings.

Try using yasa video converter to encode avi /xvid video.
