Unable to play back encoded files - Web Player
Hello, I am new to video transcoding, and have been trying off and on for a few weeks to create a Divx Plus compatible H.264 MKV file. I am able to create the video files, but the web player keeps giving the following error message:
DivX Web Player: playback error
=================================
The downloaded video file is not a DivX file.
If anyone more experienced than myself can find the problem with my encoded file, I would be very grateful.
NOTE: Please remove .jpg from the file extension.
Thanks,
Wes

Can you install mediainfo and get the file details? Post the details here and we'll see if we can figure it out.
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/Download
Also, what tool(s) are you using to make the file? Maybe we can figure out the exact presets for that tool/GUI to help you along.
Thanks for the quick reply this time! Most of the information for your questions was in my first post before the bump (including a 5 second video attachment of the video in question). I have downloaded MediaInfo and will post the output here. I used a table I found online to map x264 options to ffmpeg using the libx264 encoder and set all necessary options in your "How to encode with x264" tutorial. I have also tried using ffmpeg to output rawyuv to a file and feed that file to x264 with your options without luck. If there is anything missing from my first post let me know and I will respond with any necessary information to help out.

I will check this file on some more of my machines at work on Monday, but the attached file streamed fine from my web host. Where are you trying to host your file at? You can PM the info if you don't want it publicly disclosed.
Bump - Is there any more information I can provide or troubleshooting steps I can take to help with this? I would prefer to use the new H.264 divx and not the old divx codec if possible.
I have even tried ffmpeg outputting 10s of raw video to a file and reading that in to x264 using the parameters included on this website with no luck (muxing the video track with mkvmerge and no audio track).
