Problems with .AVI files.

-=Ambush=- · Jul 29, 2004

For some unknown reason. Whenever I start a .AVI file in Windows media, it goes for about 3-4 seconds and then freezes. The sound still goes but the screen is frozen at the last frame.

Tried using quicktime but it wont convert. I have a Xp codec pack...so what's going on here? Any ideas?

Do you know if the file is encoded with something like xvid or something like that? The extention would still be .avi but funky things can happen with files encoded in funkey things without the proper codec for it installed.

Did this just start happening or has it always? And is it ANY avi that you can find or just some?

You may have bad frames in the AVI file, have you checked it?
If not you can use VirtualDUB ot DivFix for that purpose.

first you need to know the decoder... then you have to figure out if the file is intact or not. If it's corrupted then you'll either have to fix it or encode it again. Generally you should upgrade to the newest xvid and divx codecs as often as possible.

Check out Video Lan if it is a codec issue. Their vid player can play any thing I through at it. Plus it is free and not M$.

I had the same problem not to long ago. All I did was reinstall my codec pack and restarted. Solved the problem. Hope it works for you.
