video is not fluid... some lags

[muzik]

Hello...

After finally working Gordian Knot and encoding, the results of the video looks perfect... No problems with sounds syncro and everything... However, with the 2 videos i encoded (using Xvid), it seems that the video playback is lagging, thus not playing like a normal video (just like a good game on a slow computer... IT LAGS... lol

Thank you for helping me out with this...

You may want to update ffdshow (which took over playback most likely) to a version from end 2004 or this year. Very old ffdshow builds have issues with packed b-frames.
