Every so often I get a AVI file that takes 30 to 60 seconds to start on my Philips 5982. Anybody know why this is happening. Does anybody have any ideas on how this can be fixed to speed them up.
Here's Gspot log of a file that doesn't start quickly. --- File Information --- File Name: The Lady Is Willing (1942).avi File Name (with full path): C:\Movie (Whole to DVD's)\The Lady Is Willing (1942)\The Lady Is Willing (1942).avi File Size (in bytes): 759,170,766 --- Container Information --- Base Type (e.g "AVI"): AVI(.AVI) Subtype (e.g "OpenDML"): OpenDML (AVI v2.0), Interleave (in ms): 33 Preload (in ms): 522 Audio alignment("split across interleaves"): Split Total System Bitrate (kbps): 0 Bytes Missing (if any): 0 Number of Audio Streams: 1 --- Video Information --- Video Codec Type(e.g. "DIV3"): XVID Video Codec Name(e.g. "DivX 3, Low-Motion"): XviD ISO MPEG-4 Video Codec Status(e.g. "Codec Is Installed"): n.a.

You could try running it thru this (no rencoding done). It oftem fixes AVI that don't play at all. http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/ 1. Add all source files you need 2. select video source file (or files, if you want to concatenate several AVI files to one) and click "generate data source" 3. select all audio streams you want to include 4. start
