Hey all, I really hope someone can help me with this one. I recently downloaded some episodes of Lost and Battlestar Galactica. They are AVIs. When I play them, in [bold]any[/bold] media player (well all the ones I've tried) I have the same problem. At first everything seems fine. After about, 10 seconds, it all goes pear shaped. Usually (depending on the player) there will be a freeze, then a sizable jump past that point (skipping many many frames). Now the weirdness happens. The frame from which the player first froze then bleeds into the frame it has skipped to. I can liken it to texture mapping a image onto a series of moving 3d objects. After about 5-10 seconds the normal frame display returns. This problem re-occurs more frequently after the initial time seemingly exponentially. I just can't seem to figure it out. I have used Gspot and it tells me everything is fine (Xvid codec). Just to be sure I download the latest Xvid codec I can find, no use. I unistall the K-lite codec pack. No avail. Other things I've read suggest that the files could be corrupt, but I'm not so sure about that. It seems much more like a playback problem. Can anyone shed some light on this?
it sounds corrupt but the only but the only things i could suggest are program called avi fixed or use virtual dub to reencode it to an uncompresed avi or a divx if you dont have drive space for an uncompressed avi
I have exactly the same problem as gringer, i have tried atleast 10 avi's some of which have worked previously. The only difference is that I have recently re-installed on to a new hard drive, I must have missed something somewhere when re-installing. System: AMD 64 3500+, Asus A8V Deluxe, 2gb Crucial Balistix, ATI X800XL (Catalyst 6.2) Creative Audigy 4.
Vindi, Your system is similar to mine. I'm running an AMD 64 3.2, ASUS K8n-e deluxe board, Audigy 2 zs, ASUS Geforce 6800 v9999gt 256mb, 1 gig corsaire high speed ram. I'm not sure but perhaps its the audigy software? Anyone know of creative drivers affecting playback? Also, it's a long shot, but I recently moved to Taiwan and the power here is a bit sketchy. The lights pulse often. I was wondering if power supply could be affecting this as well? Cheers.
its worth a try, i'm updating my drivers to see if it helps. *update* Updated to latest sound Drivers & chipset drivers, still no luck AVI's are still having playback issues. Other things I have tried: k-Lite Codec pack Gordian Knot codec pack Video LAN Player
Just had something strange happen, Played an avi from my desktop and it stuttered.... Moved it to my RAID array and it played perfectly :/ The system drive is a new 250GB Maxtor, now i'm confused.
