Sorry about that, it's the ffdshow compressor, get it
here.
From the website: ffdshow is DirectShow and VFW codec for decoding/encoding many video and audio formats, including DivX and XviD movies using libavcodec, xvid and other opensourced libraries with a rich set of postprocessing filters.
Clears up choppy and hanging Xvid videos on my machine.
The vids I have of the bikini show were shot on DV, before I had a firewire card. Unfortunately, I no longer have the master tape, just the mpegs I capped thru an outboard Dazzle box in mpeg1. Some of the files are too large to post here in mpeg format, so i have been trying to get them down to size. Divx is OK, but the quality suffers. I'll try Xvid next I guess. But try the ffdshow compressor. After the install, the vid should play just fine. If not, I'll try something else.
