Tried it. It works.

Thanks for the answer No-Worries, I only saw it now.
Do you (or anyone else) happen to know where exactly in the firmware structure the browser is? I would like to try. About the interface of the browser, I can manage well in image programs

It's test CONT-5F OGM subtitles test (MPEG4 ASP + Ogg Vorbis 2.0 48KHz 96Kbps CBR + Multiple subtitles), which is answered as a "No". The test says something about multiple subtitles, so I was wondering whether an .ogm with a single subtitle stream would play or not.

I any case, many thanks for your time to address my question

My check sheet says Partial support, hm have I made a misstake when i did fill out the form. have to check that!

EDIT: The ogm will play but wont show any sub files

The subtitle in the OGM file is visible in the audio menu, not in the subtitle menu, but selecting it doesn't make any difference, the player doesn't show subtitles in the OGM files. I'm talking about subrip (.SRT) subtitles.

Il faut mettre le CD, lorsque "UPGRADE CD DETECTED" ou qqch comme ça va s'afficher, il faut faire PLAY. Après, le CD va s'éjecter, il faut l'enlever du tray et rien faire d'autre : Il faut encore attendre quelques minutes que le firmware finisse de se mettre à jour. Le lecteur va s'éteindre (Et probablement se rallumer, si je me rappèle bien). Donc, si le lecteur est éteint ou affiche l'écran Pioneer, la MàJ est faite.

Pour le mettre à région 0, il faut appuyer sur enter pendant quelques secondes sur l'écran d'intro ou celle qui dit la région. (J'ai pas essayé)

No-worries, crissand: thanks

Hi to all,

I just my brand new 585A yesterday and downgraded it, or better upgraded to 1.09. I didn't even bother looking what was the current firmware.

I had the jurkey problem with the subtitles as subzero originaly posted.

Upgraded to rev4 and everything works perfect. Great job guys.

I have a couple of questions and i was wondering if someone can help me out.

First movies with packed bitsream seem to work fine after unpacking them with mpeg4modifier.

I have a movie though which indicates
GMC: Yes (3 warp points)
I saw in the thread that this must be re-encoded.
Any suggestions how to do this?

Second i am a bit frustrated with video output size.
I have a wide tv (16:9) and when i set the display on the 585 to 16:9 i get a slightly croped image (bottom and top). Subtitles display ok

If i set the display to 4:3 then i have to mess up with display settings of the tv. In order to get a correct output i have to select (14:9LS). This fills up the entire screen with correct aspect ratio but the subtitles are partly on screen and partly off screen.
I tried to use +30 pixels or -30 pixel for the positioning of the subtitles but nothing seems to happen.

If someone has had any simular experience i would appreciate if he can share it with me.

Thank you all once again.

Try AutoGK...
http://www.autogk.me.uk/

I think there was a link to a site that show how to reencode movies a few posts back. Anyway here's the link again

http://www.mpeg-playcenter.com/modules.php...ewtopic&t=3230)

go to no 7 of this guide...good luck

Is the pioneer configured with a tv-system of auto, pal or ntsc? If it's set to auto, then set it to your specific system (ie pal or ntsc), then try again.

Hello everybody. I'd like to revive a post from some time ago. One of us (don't remember the name) compared the "Component" output with the RGB one and (quite surprisingly) found out that the RGB was giving better colors.

I bought a component cable two weeks ago and I was expecting an improvement in the image quality, but I have to confirm what the other mate saw: the colors are much more "alive" with RGB and if I don't change the settings on my tv, when I switch to "component" everything is darker and there is one clearly dominant color. In "Matrix" for example, everything looks "greenish". I could get a bit better results reducing the "Color" control on my tv, but the result is still quite disappointing as the colors seem a bit "dead" and missing contrast.

Anybody else noticed the same? Do you use component, s-video or RGB through SCART?

My configuration is:
TV: Panasonic 26LX50
Pioneer DV-2850
Cable: Belkin Component PureAV Silver

Regards.

Also tried to change the subtitle positions and then turned the player off? When it goes on again, it will load your new settings (otherwise it won't work).
Good luck

Thanks for the modified firmware. I think the firmware can be better in future. Will be waiting for it.

Are there any chances to overclock the player? Some of my videos are choppy, probably a little too high bitrate.

Maybe priority can be put in the ogm compatibility as it only needs to be able to display subtitles.

How about mkv? None of my mkv works.

Nice work though.

Where can I get the original 1.20 firmware??
Can I flash it using the same way as guifak modified firmware??

BTW, instead of burning the firmware into a CD-R, can I use CD-RW(can be erased) since the firmware size is quite small ??

Another thing is I dun have Nero burning software. If I'm using software provided with the burner: Sonic RecordNow! 7 , wat do i have to do to make the firmware burning sucessful??

Thx.

At www.pioneer.wassberg.info you can get 1.20

yes you flash it the same way as you do gufiak and all firmwares.

yes a CD-RW will work just fine.

make sure your lable the disc PIONEER and that the file name is in capital letters aswell.

Hi No-Worries,

Is there any diffrences between the Gufiak's 1.09.02 firmware on your site (updated 3 Apr 2006) and the one posted last october ?

By the way, nice work on your site!

I having some problem playing .avi files. I'm using DV-383.
I'm having some minor delay in video frame. Here's the file info:


For another video file, I can play it nicely. Here's the file info for the non-problematic file:


BTW, which chipset is the DV-383s using??
Does it support QPEL and GMC ??

We are waiting for new firmware cause of RGB bug and maybe something more...I can not wait :-)

note: this is not a solution to your particular problem but can be considered

Recently, after finished downloading a popular anime, I had to reencode almost all of the 26 episodes. I tried unpacking the bitstream, then
resave them in virtualdub (hoping to rebuild the index) but to no avail. Sometimes reencode can be the only option but as I said, it may
not necessarily apply to you!

You can refer on how to reencode few posts back...

This file has a number of things that might trip up your player - Packed bitstream and audio frames split across interleaves. Since it plays at all, I'm assuming it's a DivX rather than XviD encode, or else the GMC would make the playback look *very* jerky. Your best bet is to re-interleave the file with VirtualDub or similar.

FYI, GMC is not a problem with DivX files, only with XviD due to a different implementation of the feature.

The Pioneer DV-383 is based on the MT 1389FE chipset, which supports GMC (on DivX files only) and QPEL.

Cheers,
BAC

Found a bug in he modded firmware when uses on a DV-588A-S:

Although you can turn virtual surround on/off by going through the menu, you cannot by simply hitting the SURROUND button on the remote. You can when using the unmodded firmware.

Thanks.

Of course you can Gufiak has swapped the 1st and 2nd function for this key, respectively, he has coded
new primary function for this key - Shuffle, and original function - Surround - is the secondary. This means, you have to hold this key bit longer to access the 2nd function (Surround) with Gufiak's modified firmware.

Hi all !

I have been out of modded firmwares for my DV585A for a while ..

What is the very latest modded firmware for this player ? I use a 1.09.02 from Gufiak ... Is there any 1.20 modded somewhere ?

I have to admit that i'm a bit lazy to scroll the 22 pages to find the link if there is one ... Please provide it if it exists ...

Thanks in advance !

I'm planning on changing my firmware because my player is crashing when I play .avi movies with x-ogg sound tracks, or if I play .ogm files ...

Any ideas to fix this if there is no newer firmware than 1.09.02 modded by Gufiak ??

LEPouSAT

Oops, sorry, must've missed that. Thanks!

Hi, no newer version of modified firmware is available.

Thx for these important info.
BTW, is .mp4 file extension supported by the player??

Well I finally fully test the Home Theater Pioneer HTZ-131 and i can tell that is a fully clone of divx performance like the DV-380 (a.k.a. DV-383). Even it can play the Ogm files good.
The only point disadvantage, is the firm update... at the time, no mod or official firm available. And from factory it no multiregion set.

So, Gufiak... I have a theory. It posible load it your mod firm, set the region to "0" and return the firm to one compatible for this model (htz-131) for fully performance of all stuff of this model (radio tunning, speakers volume control, equalization, etc.)?
In theory sound posible, but in practice i duno.

Gufiak, can I made a request on the new firmware u r working on??

I think u should include a Zoom-out function to resolve the overscanning issue while playing MPEG-4 files.

No ideas for this problem ?

A bug with Gufiak's :

One day I was playing a disc, and after FFing I pressed play, but the P/B speed was faster than normal. The only way to get it working again was to power the player off and on again.

I don't know why it has done this and it happened only once.

Seems to me you accidentally pressed the right arrow button and changed the pitch. Read the modifications log included with gufiak's firmware.

?? Can't find anything in the log?

hello!
i got this message from yesterday
"OSD MEMORY FULL " on the right of my Tv.Anyone know what is means???
thz in advance

This bug is cause the 5.1 ogg tracks. The player can't manage good this kind of audio tracks, and then crash itself.
This won't happend with 2.0 ogg audio tracks, that play normally and the player didn't crash.
Sorry, but the bug still appear in the new firm version 1.21

Thanks a lot for the reply ROAR !!!

I'm gonna check if my .OGM files are 5.1 ogg sound tracks ...

See ya all !!

LePouSAT

Sorry, it wasn´t in the log but actually in the KEYS.txt file
so basicly if you keep pressed right arrow you'll increase the pitch. Wich is probably what happened to you.

KEYS.txt

Here is a list of keys with secondary functions:
* 1 - Volume+
* 4 - volume-
* 5 - switch the picture format (Letter box, Pan&Scan, 16:9)
* 7 - mute on/off
* 0 - VFD dimmer
* ENTER - set region 0 (region free) - you will be able to play any DVD-Video movie
* CLEAR - set default region - it will bring back the default region which was set before
making the player region free
* SURROUND - "SURROUD" is now the secondary function, primary function of this key is "Shuffle"
- used for mp3/wma playback
* > (right arrow) - faster music/movie playback, increases the pitch
* < (left arrow) - slower music/movie playback, decreases the pitch

Since the player only support divx with resolution up to DVD resolution,
Does the player support high-res(1024x768) jpeg images??

The maximum resolution is:
3072 x 2048 (6 Mpixel)

It's clearer now, thanks!

Hello all,
I have tested the latest gufiak's firmware and I found an incorect behaviour when I tried to navigate into the main dvd menu of "Matrix". This dvd is region 1 (1999 edition), my default region is 2 (original firmware) or 0 (Gufiak's release).

In fact, when the menu appears on the screen I have a green square cursor to select my choice (movie, language, bonus...) but If I want to go on the next line the cursor jump too far.. when I want to acces to the third line the cursor is out of the tv screen!

I upgrade the dvd player with "1.20 original firmware" and the behaviour is correct now.

Have you any idea about this?

Thanks by advance and follow the white rabit!

I noticed that some menus were completely whacko with Gufiak's. Even if it's too far, you selected the good option!

This issue have already been discussed in this subject (I know, it is kind of long to read all the posts...).

Maybe it will be corrected in the next firmware.

ok, thanks for your replies!

Roar, have you got 1.21 extracted to file? I'm looking for it.

Hi All,

This firmware can be solve the packed bitstream problem?

Hello all!

Please tell me, where can I download original 1.20 firmware? I would like to keep it as backup before I try differend custom firmwares...

Tnx..

Cheers, Kris.

It's available for download here:

hi there

i upgraded my pio 380 with gufiak's fw

now my player is region free and has tons of additional options

but when i play divx such as my favorite japanese animes, subtitles are cut by the edges of my TV or the position is very very low (very bottom of the TV)

even if i made some changes ie +30 pixels in the options, it doesn't change anything

is it coming from this firmware and the characteristics of the sub fonts ?

thanks

Thank you very much! That was fast..
