I have recently bought a Panasonic DMR-EH50 (DVD recorder with 80Gig HDD). When I playback DVDs that I have burnt that contain footage based on DivX/Xvid converted back to DVD using 'DivXtoDVD', the playback is not 100%. During action sequences, areas containing the most amount of movement have pixelated green patches (bright green). The same discs playback perfectly (without the green flashes) on other DVD players, including a PS2.

For background purposes, I use TY or RiData discs, I have burnt using both Nero and SonicMyDVD, and all files were converted from Divx/Xvid to DVD format using 'VSO DivxToDVD'. I have a Pioneer DVR-110 built into my computer, and I select 4x burning speed.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Are there any ways to combat it?

You may have had better luck with the Home Theatre section where they have discussion sections on Standalone DVD Players, and Recorders.

I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but DivX conversions are usually a lower quality source than a DVD. Actions scenes are higher bitrate and the area most likely to show a problem. Maybe the Panasonic is just more picky about the input source. What does Panasonic support say?

Thanks BroBear.

I also posted this thread in the 'Playback' section, however decided to also post here as it seems to be monitored by the guys who have been around the longest and tend to be best qualified to answer the query.

I understand the quality issues of going from MP4 back to MP2, just curious about the Panasonic refusing to play to the standard that the other players will play the same disc. I was also wondering if it is some sought of security device aimed at curbing the conversion of MP4 to MP2.

I haven't contacted Panasonic support. It is a public holiday in Australia today.

Thanks again for your quick response.

Without knowing the equipment personally, I suspect just the quality of the source. That I have run into with different hardware. I've not heard of any security measures to prevent conversion. The big kick from the movie industry is to prevent backups of the DVD releases using updated copyright protection on the discs.

Problem Solved.
I have discovered that by converting my MP4 titles to DVD using Nero for the entire process (rather than DivXtoDVD and then Nero to burn) has defeated whatever issue the Panasonic had.

The process is considerably longer (3hrs for conversion instead of 20 minutes or so in DivXtoDVD) however the resulting playback quality is worth the wait.

To all those suffering from this problem, if you have Nero, try using it for the entire conversion and burning process.
