There seems to be a battle between XII and other groups as many of their files dont play on the more
standardized players.

Yeah, something is up. Would be nice to know what exactly is going on. Why does XII files not work
on 360 and most other xvids do? I am honestly curious. The last XII Dollhouse ep wouldn't work on
the 360/ps3.

Is this fixable in the same way as the last one?

Since I havent run into that problem (I watch all my TV on a PC) I am not 100% sure, but from what I
heard around the net, this is what I _think_ it sounds like:

XII releases are habitually merged poorly such that the video and audio streams get rather separated in
the file. This is not the same as an A/V desync problem, because all the info is there to play back in sync,
it just gets spread out over more disk space. In fact the file is technically valid, but the farther apart the
streams get, the larger buffer your player must use to keep up. At some point, consoles or standalone
players run out of buffer, but many PC-based software (VLC and mplayer, at least) can still handle it fine;
this is what most of the complaints about XII are about, but they generally dont get nuked because its
technically correct, and because it plays fine on most software. Indeed, this is the first I have seen one of
theirs nuked for this; guess some people are getting fed up. (XII had a Fringe ep got nuked last night,
because of a more serious frak-up with the audio stream, where the files were just plain wrong.)


Anyway, if you have already downloaded files with poor merge, try loading them into e.g. Virtual Dub or
SUPER, and redo them with a stream copy on both audio and video streams. Lossless and pretty fast
because you dont decode, then re-encode. This basically demuxes and remerges the streams without
actually altering the data in them, and should fix the problem.

you can use AVI ReComp to fix it but it takes a long time

@Lightbane

Add these two trackers to your torrent:

http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce
udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce

I did that and I got almost 50 new seeders instantaneously. Pretty sweet.
