Troubleshooting Playback

With decoders installed, ffdshow, and koepi's latest XviD codec, some avi xvid video files still play without video (audio ok, no video). Yet the same files will play successfully in vlan player.

This seems to be an issue with XviD encoded on Linux with MEncoder.

Software

• MPlayer will render both video and sound for an xvid with this particular encoding glitch.

Troubleshooting

Ever notice an Xvid or Divx video that played just slightly too fast? "The speed difference is so slight that you really can't tell until you watch the original and hear that the theme song is in a lower key and the voices are lower." See Video Playback Slightly Too Fast.
