    i have a number of slightly damaged .avi movies.

    at a couple of points in the movie, the picture will start going very smeary(for want of a better word!), and the sound breaks up until my player quits and says something like 'buffer underun'.

    any ideas anyone?

    thanks very much, tim

    try divfix or avifixed, but make sure to make a backup copy of the file before you use either!

    dixfix works an absolute treat as long as the data is not too corrupted!

    thanks again
