Ever heard of a DiVX that only plays in one player?

That's right. I have this movie out of hundreds of movies I have downloaded that will ONLY playback correctly in Vidomi player.

All the other players including BSPlayer, PowerDiVX, Zoom Player and WMP don't like it much. The video either speeds up and loses sync with the audio or slows down thus losing sync with the audio again.

Tried remuxing in Nandub. Tried re-encoding the MP3->WAV->MP3 again because I thought that might be the issue. No joy. Trying a re-index and rekey at the moment to see if that works. But it's taking a while. If that does not work it looks like I will just have to view it in Vidomi although it's not my player of choice.

Weird. Says it's a DiVX3 encoded movie. The MP3 is CBR. If you try to forward to a point in the movie in any player but Vidomi the audio goes COMPLETELY out of sync.

Hmmm...

Re-encode the video to XviD or Div4.:D

a rather odd solution, re-encoding an already heavily compressed video will give quite appaling results

Bad idea indeed. It's very odd. It's only some Japanese anime DiVX files I have a problem with. They must be using some strange codec variant to encode with. But why only Vidomi plays them beats me. Unless. Vidomi is also an encoder as well as a player thus my logic says that perhaps they were encoded in Vidomi. :)

the audio gets out of sync in vidomi player because of a bug in vidomi itself. if you use 4.10 downgrade to 4.05 and seeking should work.
the problem with your file could be that the audio and video streams are different length. try demuxing the streams with virtualdub to an avi file without audio and a wave file. then edit the audio with any audio tool you have and make it the same length as the video. then mux both parts.

Nope. None of that is right. I found out through trial and error that this particular file was being mis-reported as an incorrect framerate. I tried fiddling with uninstall/reinstall of codecs and it then started playing back in ALL players including Vidomi as half the framerate and kept sticking and going out of sync. Funnily enough all the other DiVX files that had exhibited the same symptoms with spedup video and normal audio playback causing sync issues suddenly worked again. All except this one file. I opened it in Nandub and it reported it as 7.500FPS whereas it had previously reported it as 14.999FPS. Hmmm. So I then changed it to force the audio and framerate to match and set audio delay to minus 150. Saved it direct stream copy and it now plays back fine. Along with all the other files.

It's definitely a mixed bag of codecs that cause the problems.
