Hi everyone,
I purchased a Lite-On DD-A110 from a high street supermarket recently. I have been very impressed with it given its £60 price tag, its recording is perfectly simple to use (even my grandparents with a combined age of 155 odd have worked it all out in under a day!)
As a DVD player and recorder its impecabble, one of the best menu's ive seen (though ive only ever seen low end recorders) the player is on the latest firmware.
My problem is that MPEG-4 files generally play slightly jerkily and the sound is almost never in synch. Feature wise it seems fine, ive played through the DivXtest 2.0 CD, it seemed to support everything it could throw at it BUT the sound was slightly behind the video... on my personal media files I am finding that say 1 in 10 is more or less ok but most are slightly jerky and the sound is nearly always de-synched, sometimes worse than others. I have also found that if I have more than one AVI on a disk then even if the first is in synch, if I move onto the next file it will definately be wayy off (around 2 seconds or so usually.)
We bought 2 of these units and both do exactly the same. I have tried 4 different types of media, all burned at the slowest speed. None of the files have a compressed bitstream although some vary in FPS (some 23.967 some 25.00) and of course their audio varies between MP3 and AC3.
I'm hoping this is an issue lite-on will simply fix with a firmware fairly soon, I have emailed them. In the meantime though, what are the key things to look out for on media files being played in a MPEG-4 DVD player? Clearly *something* causes it as otherwise the odd file wouldnt be perfect...
Any help that anyone can offer would be much appreciated
