[AVI] Problem with divx and xvid

[Rasser]

when i play some videos with divx or xvid as a video codec the audio seems to always lag behind video. The video freezes a little bit then it jumps ahead of the audio. I tested the same video on my pc and it works perfectly fine. Is something wrong with my PH or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance for answering my question.

My guess is that it is Xvid encoded using GMC 3. The Sigma chip only supports GMC 1. So it is not a bug that it can't play it proberly, but in my opinion it is a bug that it tries to.

Yep its got 3 warp points the PCH only does 1, here's a quick easy solution to removing QPEL/GMC:-
