ACK...Movie keeps stalling!!!!

[X-Nemesis]

I've encoded pitch black various times and it always ends up stalling at the exact same spot whilst the audio continues on. I'm lost. Here is my script I'm encoding using Avisynth 2.5, Virtualdubmod and Divx5enc.

I hope someone can shed some light on this issue...I'm gonna go and search myself for another person sharing this issue in the forums.

Thanks:angry:

In case you didn't know, every line with an # in front of it is a comment, so you can leave all those lines away when posting your avs script.

Are you using the Smooth Playback option during decoding? This can make your video freeze, and it usually happens at the exact same spot. Just keep it always disabled.

You can 1) try setting all post-processing options to minimum or off, or 2) try using the ffdshow (http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Filters/ffdshow-20021213.exe) playback filter instead of the DivX codec for playback.

I'll try turning those options of in the decoder settings...I've read this before in other threads...DOH!!! Forgot about that. Are those settings ONLY good for very powerful computers or are they just not completely tuned yet for playback...Maybe it has something to do with me using MediaPlayer 9...always lots of possible scenarios. Anyhoo, thanks for the replies...will give it a try and see where it leads me.

Cheers:rolleyes:
