Xvid probs..sluggish jerky slows down computer!

[track7uk]

Hey

I'm new to al these codecs and stuff and the Xvid one is really confusing me.

I've installed it however when i try to watch an xvid file the video is out of sync to the audio and is very sluggish and jerky. Also the mouse becomes less responsive and sluggish


anyone know what the problem is?

thanks in advance

Everything slowing down on your desktop and "slugging" is probably lag. How fast is your machine?

hmm i hope thats not it...

its a PIV 1.6 ghz shou;ldn't that be quick enough (256ram)

anymore ideas?

Indeed that should be more than enough...

"I've installed it however... "

I wonder, what codec did you install? Try installing the FFDshow filter and see if it works after that.

FFDShow filter??? what is that and where can i get it from~?

thx
