xvid playback problems - sound outa sync

[ilona_g2]

Hi,
I'm having problems playing back xdiv files - the sound keeps is out of sync with the pics (there's a few seconds delay between when I hear the sound and when I see the pics).
I've installed the xvid codec as well as ac3....
Heeeelp!!!
Any ideas for help will be welcomed!

Open the file in NanDub
Set both Video and Audio tabs to Direct Stream Copy.
Go to the Audio tab and hit Interleaving [Ctrl+I]
In the Audio Skew Correction insert a value.
Save .avi [F7]
Experiment until Audio and Video is in sync.

What is the cpu usage while playing back these xvid files?

[ilona_g2]

Thanx for your replies.
Am downloading Nandub and will try to follow the instructions listed.
I also checked my cpu usage - when playing back the file on bsplayer, it took up btwn 70 and 90% cpu (just this app).
Sounds a lot - any idea how I could improve it.
I have over 384Mb of RAM and Pentium III 751 Mhz processor, should be enough no???

On another thread in the XviD section of the forum, a solution was to use another player, like BSplayer.

I'm having the same problem on two Windows XP systems - both with basic 32 MB ATI Rage Video Cards. My brother has a geforce3 deluxe and has no problems. The problem is that the video and audio are completely out of sync (3-5 secs+)

Now, could it be that the video card is not good enough for playing back xvid movies? This is what I have installed:

DivX502Bundle.exe
XviD-04102002-1.exe
NimoLitePack10.exe
bsplay085.492.exe
Windows Media Player v.9.00.00.2926
PowerDVD XP v4.00

The CPU usage goes from 13% before running an Xvid movie to about 75%-85% while running a movie. I don't have any other problems running other memory intensive apps.
