Jerky xvid playback on set top

[Nick Less]

Hi! I have a problem with my Pioneer 575. Namely, recently i've come across some videos that it can't play. The thing is, i can't find out why. It plays xvid and divx without any problem, but on two movies it just shows picture after picture each for abot 10-20 seconds. These files don't seem to be any different from the other xvids that it plays fine. It doesn't even have a problem with Packed bitstream files. How would i go about finding what is causing the problem?

I recommend you run your problem XviD files thru' GSpot 2.52 (beta1) (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/gspot252dl.html) to see if they contain GMC.....

If they do, this will explain why you can't play them. That said, if you encoded these XviD files yourself you'd already know if they contain GMC.... perhaps you forgot ;)

GMC.... Genetically modified Cows? http://www.forum.hr/images/smilies/confused.gif


I know about GSpot, and i've checked the files with it but i can't find anything different about these two files and it's not the medium fault, i've burned it a couple of times and the same thing happens on each cd or dvd.

GMC stands for "Global Motion Compensation". If any of your encodes have been encoded with it, GSpot will identify it here: -

No stand-alone player fully supports XviD's (3-warp-point) GMC implementation.

Another problem! On some videos the picture's fine but the sound is all chopped up! it's normal mp3 audio. It's not the media's fault and it plays fine in the pc. How could i find out what's the problem? Any program like GSpot only for audio out there?
