Movie plays like still pictures. Please help.

[cheekymonkey]

Hello everybody,

Could you please help a newbie with the following? I read through the archives but could not find a fix.

A friend of mine has made me “avi” copy of a DVD disk. The copy plays good on my PC but when I try to play it on my standalone (Philips DVD player that reads virtually everything) the movie does not play smoothly but rather runs by frames. It looks like more pictures are being shown one after another.

Besides, I see a bright (mostly red color) vertical bar on the right side of the TV screen.

I tried to run the copy through VirtualDub but it does not show any video error. Can I do something to fix the copy? What too should I use?

The copy is made on Taiyo Uden DVD disk. If any additional information is required, I am ready to provide it.

Thank you!

A friend of mine has made me “avi” copy of a DVD disk.Discussion of such activity is likely a violation of Rule #6 of these forums - and has been reported.

I'm just curious to know why your friend didn't simply make a true DVD backup?

Thank you! Your assitance is invaluable.

BTW, I did not discuss any "activity". I just asked how to fix an AVI file.
