    Problem with AVI File

    Hi there,
    I've got a problem with a downloaded AVI. The audio plays back at the proper speed, however the video plays back VERY slowly... moving the slider will re-synch the audio and video, but it takes only a few seconds for the video to be WAY behind the audio again. Here are the details for the file from GSpot:

    Filesize: 163 MB - Status: File Length Correct
    Video Format:
    4CC: div3
    Name: DivX 3 Low-Motion
    Codec IS Installed (using ffdshow)
    Aspect: 624 x 472 (1.322:1)
    Bitrate: 471 kb/s
    Framerate: 29.970 FPS
    Duration: 00h 42m 16s
    Stream Type and A/V Interleave:
    Type: OpenDML AVI
    I/L: Not Supported
    IMRR: n.s.
    Audio Format:
    Name: divx (same as wma) (0x0161) DivX Networks
    Codec IS Installed (using Windows Media Audio)
    Bitrate: 64 kb/s (32/ch x 2ch)
    Fs: 44100 Hz
    DirectShow Render:
    Source: MEDIASUBTYPE_Avi
    Video Media: 4cc: DIV3
    Audio Media: WMMEDIASUBTYPE_WMAudioV7
    Splitter/Other: AVI Splitter
    Video Codec: ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder
    Audio Codec: ACM Wrapper -> Windows Media Audio V2

    Seems to me that the Aspect has GOT to be wrong... I can't imagine that the video is actually that large.

    I attempted to split and re-merge the audio and video streams using TMPGEnc, but encountered the same problem. Playing the video stream only played back at the same, wrong speed.

    So, my guess is that I need to correct the header information... which leads me to my problem. I haven't the slightest clue how to do that. I know that I've seen tools that you can use to change header info, but I still have no idea what the correct numbers would be for this file.

    Or I could be completely wrong, which would really just be par for the course...

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I've had the same problem before but it was before i upgraded my computer. It happened with avi files that had a very high bitrate. my video card simply could not keep up. Upgraded to a Geforce 4 MX440 and problem solved. What seems to help is knocking the quality slider down to minimum that gives worse looking video but it may help with the sync problem. Of course you may have the latest greatest hardware i don't know.

      Oh, yeah, I forgot to include system specs

      I think my system should be capable of keeping up. Specs are:

      Athlon 1900+
      1 GB DDR 400
      2x 40GB ATA/133 @ RAID 0
      ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB

      Thanks!
