    Hi.

    File is avi-file, and needs div3 and ac3 codecs.
    First I didn't get sound at all. Installing NIMO codec pack helped that. But when playing with windows mediaplayer the picture does not run smoothly, but it makes little breaks about in every 4 seconds. And video and audio are not synchronized. I've tries almost everything.

    Now, if I play same file with Divx Player 2.0 Alpha version, I get smooth picture, yes, but no sound.

    Only way I have figured out to watch the movie is to play same file with two players same time. Mediaplayer gives the sound and Divx player gives the video. But now you can't pause or rewind because then you lose synchronizing.

    I think those players use different codecs, can you help.

    Use WinDVD because that plays ac3 perfectly and also plays divx perfectly. On another note, you shouldn't have installed the NIMO codec pack, you should just rely on individual codecs instead of codec packs. Codec Packs just cause problems!

    I uninstalled all codecs installed before, and then I installed WinDVD. Now the same problem exists, that sound is good, picture is clear, but picture stops every 3-5 seconds, then keeps 1 second pause, and jumps ahead then. And sound and picture are not synchronized.
