slow avi

[gomezdegomera]

I encoded Full metal jacket with VirtualDub divx 4.12 in WIN2000 PRO.
I encoded many divx before with the same program, but this time
the output avi is very slow. It is slow when playing with every player (zoom , microdvd, wmp6.4, wmp7); the length is correct.
the original format is 4/3 PAL. I used this avisynth script:

LoadPlugin("C:\MPEG2DEC.DLL")
mpeg2source("test.d2v")
Crop(8,0,704,576)
BicubicResize(704,528)

I installed WMP7 before encoding (to try it). Can be it the cause?
I don't understand why it should be.
Any idea? Thanks

maybe the mp3 soundtrack ??????????

Yeap, it's the sound track. Very common problem. Use an app called Vob2Audio and there is an option where you can change the riff header in the mp3 file to read as a wav but remain same size. This works for me when I had that problem, only with VBR mp3 though.

Captain :devil:

I set No audio in VirtualDub and the resulting video is slow. I think the prob is the resolution. I encoded with a 640 x 480 res and the result is slow but not so much as before.
Thanks, however

maybe your cpu is to slow ? 704x528 is a really high resolution.

finally to those of you who want to watch high bitrate xvid/divx up to 1000Kbps and not getting slow or choppy,on old computer such as Pentium3,via cyrix III(via c3),AMD k6(without graphic card,just on board graphic card), I got the solution by tial and error:
1.minimum requirements are:memory 128Mb or higher, CPU clock 700Mhz or higher. OS windows98 or windowsME.
2.No running program on the background (such as antivirus or else)
3.Windows media player classic (MPC) original from your OS,you could find it in program files>windows media player>mplayer2.exe
4.install ffdshow-20050822MSVC71.exe(the most lite and stable for old PC)
5.the avi files resolution width must NOT exceed 688 if it's 720 then you must resize the avi file.
6.if the sound from avi is mp3 don't use from ffdshow. you should use the one from windows98 or windowsME MPC (go to ffdshow audio configuration and disable the mp3 codec)
7.if the sound from avi is ac3 just enable it from ffdshow audio configuration.(if there is an error in the ff_liba52.dll, you should use the ff_liba52.dll from ffdshow-20051103.exe) just install it then copy the dll,paste outside ffdshow folder,uninstall ffdshow,install ffdshow-20050822MSVC71.exe and replace the dll. don't use ac3 filter because it's not lite(use much cpu,make the sound slower than picture-out of sync).
here're the specs of my computer:
on board PCchip m755mlr,CPU via cyrix III(via c3) 700Mhz,
ram 256Mb share,can play high bitrate up to 1000Kbps xvid/divx but the resolution width under 688.
