I just downloaded the second part of the Enterprise season 4 opener. There seems to be something up with the file.
1. It is an avi file 2. It only plays sound in Windows Media Player, Cyberlink Powerdvd and Realplayer 3. I played it using DivX player 4. When it plays in DivX player - it is jumpy... i.e. not a smooth picture...
The jumping is not TOO severe but it's like it's missing every 1/16th of a second or something - it's quite annoying. It's like a jump every half a second. Little jumps.
Hard to explain. The sound is OK.
It doesn't matter whether you play it in a very small window or full screen.
Do i need some special type of CODEC? It says it's from a HDTV source - but I've played downloaded taken from HDTV sources before and they've been fine.
Is it a crappy encoding?
I don't think it's my computer - I closed every 'open' program except for like Norton.
My Computer is an AMD Athalon XP 2000+ 1682 MHz CPU NVIDIA GeForce 4MX 440 64MB 256MB RAM 1024x768x85Hz screen

What's the full filename? Usually the codec required is in the filename, at least in my experience.

'Tis all cool - needed to download the Xvid codec.
Noice and toight now.
BTW the filename was: enterprise.s04e02.proper.hdtv-lol

If MP/RP won't decode the videostream, but DP will, it is a codec issue. So find your file's G-Spot, and pleasure you shall receive.

I had the same problem - it was very jumpy in PowerDVD. Mostly OK in WMP. I know I have the Xvid codec, perhaps I need a newer version?
