That’s pretty difficult to diagnose. Here are some things to try though
- go to your start menu and find the decoder configuration utility under divx. fiddle with some of the settings, especially those under quality settings
- try momentarily disabling directdraw -if you have windows media player 9 click on tools, options, then performance, and pull the video acceleration bar all the way to the left (be sure to put it back to the right after you’re done testing) - if you don’t have wmv9 you can try to disable it globally (get back to me on the board to try that)
- you could try viewing the video file with avipreview, media player classic, or virtualdub. gspot is good at detecting corrupt avi’s too.
