    Jerking and skipping playback

    I have a very strange problem.

    I have to reinstall the XviD codec after every movie I play.
    Even if I only play a few seconds or a couple of minutes, and then stop it - the next movie will jerk and jump like mad.

    Sound is played correctly, but the video plays a few frames, freezes for a couple of second, then plays a few more frames and again freezes - and so on and so on. The CPU usages goes through the roof when this i going on.

    The only thing I can do when this happens, is to kill the mediaplayers task - and reinstall the codec. Then I get to play one movie with no problems until I stop it or load another movie - then it is reinstall-time again.

    No matter which player I use, or XviD versions from v1.0 rc4 through 1.0.2, they all do the same thing.

    This only happens with XviD. All other movies using other codecs play 100% all the time.

      OK, downloaded and installed the FFDShow filter, the alpha version, and now the AVIs that were giving me problems are working just fine.
      I'd still love to know WHY installing this filter fixed things - what the problem was - , but for now I'm happy
