Guest pbl Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I have downloaded several HDTV XviD files and to varying degrees I have a terrible sound/picture synchronisation. It starts out poor and worsens over time to the point that the movie becomes unwatchable. I am playing these files through Windows Media Player 11.x. Playing through Nero Showtime shows an even worse synchronisation problem. CPU usage hovers between 50-60 %. My system is WinXPPro SR2. Is there anything I can do to?

Guest pbl Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Re: Out of Sync Video Thanks Allan. I downloaded the VLC Media Player and it plays the files perfectly in synchronisation! Do you think the problem reported is a computer resource issue or a limitation with WMP? I have a 2 GHz CPU and 1.5 GB RAM.

Guest Kenny Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Re: Out of Sync Video It's a codec issue. To find out what codecs are used for a video file type use Gspot. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ As you have discovered VLC Player plays most video file types. -- Kenny Cargill "pbl" <nil@none.not> wrote in message news:13bu45lt5r8hk22@corp.supernews.com... > Thanks Allan. > > I downloaded the VLC Media Player and it plays the files perfectly in > synchronisation! > > Do you think the problem reported is a computer resource issue or a > limitation with WMP?
