DivX Skipping?

[optical]

Hey,

Im using DivX 5.03 Pro..

And it skips, but it only skips in Counter-Strike movies......I can watch cartoons movies etc fine........but CS movies it skips and is out of time etc...

Any ideas?

For someone who's been banned three times your realy pressing your luck.
So could you tell me what the codecs are in the videos that skip.
(if you have no idea how to, go to www.doom9.org and get gspot 2.1)

How am i pushing for luck? I'm asking for help. I'll check the codecs now.

[optical]

Here are the codecs the movie is using.
Also someones probably going to ask about my CPU

Its a Socket 370, Celeron 400mhz.
But runs all other divx's fine, even newer codecs etc, its just cs movies..

then compare the frame size and rate....
are all your cs movies 30fps?

i know that slow celerys like that can run video fine....watched The Matrix (my divx 4 rip) on a 233 before....

You'll need to rurn quality settings right down to get the divx4+ avis to run properly, divx3.11 requires a less beefy system to run, thats why you can play it fine

[optical]

Yeh ok thats true, but how come i can run DivX 5 rips of movies.........like 500-700mb fine on half or higher quality?

could be wrong but this is why I think..........

the audio has been interleaved wrong and why..... some of it is dispersed throughout the movie the bulk of it has been placed at the end of the file therefore your optical drive will be doing a lot of seeking and cant keep up with both the audio + video streams...... seen it happen before.....
try running it off the HD and see if it makes any difference and report back......

unfortunately a lot of divx guides do this to the audio ie interleave every 500ms when it really needs to be at 100ms for all the audio to be dispersed evenly throughout the file......

anyway try it off the hdrive and see.......

[Binky Stunt Cat]

ok, for starters, look at the fps of the first 4
30 fps....
this is TOO HIGH
especialy for your system.
so the reason they are running badly is because some dumbarse didnt compress them correctly.

Ok cool, i'll try some off them off my hdd :/ lol but im busy streaming atm woohoo 6 listeners at this time of the morning
