    Strange Audio Problem

    Hey all,

    Ok, I downloaded a Divx Video a long time ago. I remember playing this video and hearing the sound fine. Now, however, when playing the video back the sound is...stuttery..for lack of a better word.

    I tried the video under Windows media Player (Both the older 6.4 as well as version 8 ) and the Divx Player. Same results. Video plays fine, audio is messed up.

    I try loading it into Virtual Dub and it gives me no Video but gives the same audio troubles. Here's the Audio Stream information Virtual Dub gives:

    Sampling Rate: 8000Hz
    Channels: 1 (Mono)
    Sample precision: 4-bit
    Compression: Microsoft ADPCM CODEC
    Preload Skew: 0 samples (0.00s)
    As for the video information I see that the Decompressor is listed as Pinnacle Systems MPEG Codec but this is not what shows up using file properties when playing it in Windows Media Player.
    Under Windows Media Player 6.4 the Filters in use are:

    Default DirectSound Device
    DivX Decoder Filter
    VIdeo Renderer
    Under Filter Properties for the DirectSound Device I get:
    wFormatTag: 1
    nChannels: 1
    nSamplesPerSec: 8000
    nAvgBytesPerSec: 16000
    nBlockAlign: 2
    Rate: 1.00

    Under Windows Media Player 8 the Audio Codec is listed as Unknown.

    Any help on this would be appreciated. I'm guessing that the video trouble I get with Virtual Dub is because of that Filter. I may need to remove it if I plan to do anything with this file but I'm more concerned right now with the audio.
