[dvd::rip] File Will Not Play On Car DVD Player

I wanted to follow up and let everyone know there is a work around for to get files created with DVD:RIP to play on the jensen and panasonic head units that have DivX capabilities.

I did some digging and found another VM9021TS user that said he was able to play avi files created with ffmpeg. I called Jensen and their tech support said they only officially support MPEG4.

If the codec selected is set to ffmpeg/MPEG4 the files play on the head unit. Unfortunately numerous titles were transcoded using XVID. As an added benefit the FPS while encoding using ffmpeg/MPEG jumped from 32 to 43 on the first pass.

I have an interesting issue with my files created using DVD::RIP. I have a Jensen VM9021TS DVD player in my car. It has an SD card reader that will play AVI files. I know for sure it plays avi files created with another tool. However, it did not play files created with DVD::RIP. I have included the avitype informatio showing the metadata for each file. Is there an avi or other tool (mencoder) that can correct this?
