flickering/flashing

i just fixed the green "look" and the scenes running into each other,now i have the same prob...flashes with bsplayer,wmp,zoom....

whoever started this xvid encoding,need to ask them why?...wasn't divx good enough?

at least with divx,you only needed to install the codec and it worked the first time around,i just found out about xvid a couple weeks ago

i would like to be able to view xvid content,since most of the newer videos that interest me are in xvid,any help would be apreciated

I'm having the same problem, xVid movies flicker a couple times a second, audio is fine though. I'm trying them in RealOne and WMP 9, newest versions of each. My setup:

Win XP Pro (all latest updates as of 1/29/03
256 MB RAM
1 GHz PIII
Divx Codec 5.02
xVID from "Nic", final version in Jan it says

Anyone, what am I doing wrong, what settings do I need to check?

Thank You

i discovered a new player from a different forum,it's called "vidomi" and the flickering went away,but the audio was out of sync at first and for some reason the audio is ok,but now the video playback is a tad bit jerky,not too bad,but noticeable....i tried so many different players and finally found one that works somewhat,still not 100%,but getting there

i'm still in need of help,like other people with same problem,but all i see is the "views" number go up

In WMP 9 go into tools, options, performance tab, advanced button, uncheck "Use Overlays". It fixed all my flickering problems.

i used TMPGenc to make an mpeg out of it and it solved the whole problem,video playback is excellent....i tried BSplayer and going to the performance/advanced part of WMP 9..none of that fixed it....but i think i got a handle on it now

What do you mean by finalizing programs?

i mean that you need to close all unnecesary programs, using control+alternate+delete

xvid Flicker Problem Solved!

Hello,

I have solved the problem of your guys' video flickering problems. Go and download the XviD-17022003-1.exe

here is the site.

http://cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/dvd_utils_codec.shtml

But before you install it:
- Make sure you have deleted your old or former version of xvid codec named xvid.ax. It would be in C:/WINDOWS/system32 and find xvid.az.

- Remove it out of system32.

- Then install the XviD-17022003-1.exe, then you should be good to go.


Later,
Kaz

Here's another solution

For You all who got flickering problems with Xvid.
If You use BSPlayer, stop doing that, and try ZoomPlayer instead.
This is by far, the best player around (my opinion).

1. Reason is that BSPlayer not anymore updates to Your new hardware, the project BSPlayer is down. ZoomPlayer updates still frquently.
2. BSPlayer was really good with costumized settings and all, but ZoomPlayer have 100:s of more settings than BSPlayer.

Thats what I think anyway.
