Noticed an issue with XviD latest and possibly AC3 too. I have two recent movies encoded in what I believe to have been done with the latest XviD (How can I tell?). One by Brutus and one by Diamond. No GMC or QPEL was used. Just B-VOP (Dunno about packed stream). Player is an Elta 8883 with latest firmware. Compatability appears to be an issue with the latest builds of XviD on this particular chipset. Of course I am waiting for an updated firmware that will 'hopefully' fix this.
But I would appreciate some feedback on if and why XviD is straying from specs perhaps? I believe it's the latest builds alongside AC3 that are the issue and not high bitrates as some believe. I've tried some high bitrate encodes of other XviD with AC3 titles that were encoded using older builds of XviD and they playback perfectly (Like a 3 CD backup of The Two Towers with full bitrate AC3 which plays fine).
What changed that makes it jerky now?
EDIT: It's not audio interleave or preload. They don't make any difference.
EDIT EDIT: REQUEST: How about a 'Maximum compatibility' option in the XviD encoder? Something that lets you stick with DiVX spec. :)
