help, i am having some odd playback problems with xvid. In one case, the sound and video are out of sync. In the other case, the video and sound stutters really bad to the point its unwatchable. All my xvid movies have either one of these problems.
I first used Nic's decoder and then I uninstalled that and tried ffdshow as well. In both cases, the same problem exists. I selected ffdshow to support Xvid and the MPeg4. It only occurs when the video is encoded with xvid as I am having no problems with divx.
Incidentally, in one case I had a Xvid encoded SVCD of LOTR: Two Towers. When I played it with PowerDVD 5 it stuttered. However, when I played it with PowerDVD 4 it played perfectly. Having found this new discovery, I attempted to play all my other Xvid files with PowerDVD 4 but no luck. They were still way out of sync on audio/video or they just stuttered as before.
I run WinXP with 256MB of ram and I use WMP 6.4 to play my files. May I ask you guys what are you configurations and if you have ever encountered this same problem? I heard WinXP may have some configuration problems and it would be best to switch to Win2k? Any help would be much appreciated.
