DivX Help plz

sonicfoot · December 7th, 2002

I am having trouble with a DivX video Movie file I downloaded. It plays well untill about a quarter way througth the video, the audio and video get out of sync, ( the audio plays ahead of the video).
I put all the settings in divX to the lowest quality, and the same happens.Is this cause my computer isnt powerfull enougth to play the clip or is it just the way the video clip was produced?

**Demigod** · December 7th, 2002

I think it was just the way the movie was encoded. Some movies do that, they slowly go out of sync.

Instal the Nimo Codec Pack it usually fixes these problems , got to :

www.divx-digest.com

The to software-codecs&filters and dl it.
If this doesn't work ask it in the Divx Digest forum as they might know.

I have the Nimo pack and I still have this same problem. I sometimes just close the program and seek to where I left off

I also have the same problem with a video file that I have.

I checked the video file for any freeze frames or corrupted frames with Koala Video player and no errors were found.

The problem keeps occuring in the same places where the audio would be out of sync with the video.

this usually happens if the bitrate of the divx is higher than necessary for that resolution. in short: the guy who encoded sucks :P
you can try re-encoding, or using ffdshow, which is a very optimized divx decoder (it encodes a lot of other stuff too).

I had that problem with an anime movie I downloaded. I solved it by defragging

I ao have this problem with Card Captor Sakura 13, but I have been as yet unable to solve this problem.

Kazuya Mishima · December 8th, 2002

same happens to me. But i guess its the guy who encoded the movies because it happen with 3 or 4 of my movies but i have others that never have done it.

What do u mean by defragging, Kane??

**Kane** · December 9th, 2002

I defragged my HDD, as it turned out that the file was in aroung 1500 fragments accross the HDD.

campi · December 9th, 2002

well I had these problems with some divx, and it's just that the guy who encoded the divx didn't sync the video and the sound in that place correctly

TalkingANUS · December 10th, 2002

What version of DivX are u using?
Cos I had this problem before, when I updated to divX 5. it was solved by using an older version(DivX 3.1 alpha).
I find that 3.1 alpha version is best with older movies, cos they were all encoded using this codec.

Kazuya Mishima · December 10th, 2002

I would try lowering the version but the movies i have are divx5. I tried to install ffdirectshow but the only thing it did was make my video choppy. I unistalled it and the movie is smooth but the problem its still there.

sonicfoot · December 10th, 2002

Well Im using DivX 5 right now, I also tried DivX 4, but that never worked either. I also have defragmented my HD quite a few time already, that never worked too. Ill try out DivX 3.11.

sonicfoot · December 10th, 2002

DivX 3.11 didnt solve the problem either

jegHegy · December 10th, 2002

i haven't heard of ANYONE who got here movies slower because of ffdshow...you need to mess with the settings, you probably had postprocessing on or sharpening or whatever.

nyaa

Kazuya Mishima · December 10th, 2002

Yeah, i checked it again. I had deactivated the postprocesing but precisely the sharpening was making my movie choppy. The rare thing is that it ocurred with the default value for the sharpening. Well, i guess i'll mess with it a little more and see what more i can get

jegHegy · December 10th, 2002

ffdshow is HIGHLY optimized, and supports a lot of codecs. current alpha version has (still crappy) experimental MPEG1 support, which would really r0x0r with postprocessing and all.
i'm glad i could help ^^

nyaa

TalkingANUS · December 10th, 2002

Maybe its your audio codec..? .. Try using the latest version of Fraunhofer MPEG layer-3 (..i think) codec.

Kazuya Mishima · December 11th, 2002

Where can i find that codec? i tried but never found it
