Blurry picture / codec?

[Mellowmaniac]

Hi,

I have a problem several people here seem to have.

When playing certain XVIDs (not all!) I have the problem of "blurry" playback. I read heaps of threads, but couldn't find advice which helped me solving my problem....

I tried ffdshow, nic's xvid codec and koepi's xvid codec. Sometimes I have audio, but no video and sometimes I have these "blurry" pictures...

I also tried the "old xvid interlace bug" option on ffdshow!

I have a screen captures from Nandub. I used koepi`s xvid-codec!

I would really appreciate your help!

Cheers,

MM

either try one of the LATEST ALPHA version from april or may 2003 of ffdshow.

if you did use those versions already, then i might ask you if we're dealing with a downloaded file that might be corrupted during transfer?

Thanks for your quick reply!

I tried ffdshow-20030523.exe which seems to be the latest version....

The movie I tried is a tv-rip and some people wrote in a thread that they can watch it without any probs and some that they have the same problem - but no advice there!

I also tried other episodes, so that it doesn`t seem to be a problem of a corrupted download.

Cheers,

when using ffdshow, which decoding filter is being used?
did you try the internal libavcodec? (inside the codec properties)

and what player were you using?

[Mellowmaniac]

Within ffdshow I tried the "xvid-codec" and the "libav-codec".

The players I used are Radlight, Power DVD and BS-Player.

If there is a player with better compatibility, I`d give it a try...!?

Thanks!
