Handbrake does not copy my entire movie. The movie is in the NTSC format. Can someone tell me what’s wrong.

Philip, you are of course correct. Ctrl-C is a standard escape sequence for command line tools. I just stated it awkwardly. One should press the Control key and C key simultaneously to quit.

Hi, thanks for this, but to quit it’s pressing ctrl-c and not typing it. At least that worked for me…

If you’re asking about an MP4 file for the DVP642, the article does mention that the player doesn’t support the format. AVIs only I’m afraid.

But if asking about MP4 vs AVI in general, Handbrake’s ffmpeg AVI and MPEG-4 MP4 look about the same to me. Colors are a little more saturated on the MP4, but the compression artifacting is about the equal (with a slight edge to the AVI).

Has anyone tried creating an mp4 file using handbrake and playing it? Is it better quality than the .avi file?

I spent about a year fiddling with setting and hanging out in the videohelp.com Mac forums trying to get AVIs to work. The scarcity of information is one of the reasons I started writing these. I’m glad it’s of use.

Excellent guide … I’ve been wracking my brain and burning up coasters that are unable to burn on the player. Hopefully we’ll get some good results with this info in hand!

Sweet … thanks! Got this player the other day but it kept bombing on my AVI’s. It’s amazing that no one had written a quick How-To guide on making this thing work for us Mac users.

In any case, thanks for the quick tip!
