Does any's WMP crash when you try to play this episode? I know I can play it
in VLC but was wondering if anyone knew why it does that once in a while
without shows too. Am I missing a codec?

WMP is crap, gets easily confused with codecs, use MPC.

Same problem here. Runs on VLC, but crappy WMP tells me about missing codecs.
AviCheck says:

File: X:\Border_107.avi
Total Streams: 2
Running Time: 0:00:00
Index Chunk: No
Interleaved: Yes
Max Bytes Per Sec: 0
AUDIO: 0 - MP3 (0x55)
Average Bitrate Per Sec: 133 kb/s
Samples Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: 2
Bits Per Sample: 0
Variable Bitrate: Yes (64, 96, 128)
VIDEO: XVID
B-VOP: Yes
S(GMC)-VOP: No
QuarterPixel: No
Frame Size: 624 x 352
Frames Rate: 23.976
Color Depth: 12
Total Frames: 0

Elapsed Time 00:00

Unfortunately, this tells me anything. The real bad thing is, I can't play this
file on my standalones, which I supposed until now to play everything. Maybe I
have to recode it with VirtualDub or Super or... just wait for the opportunity
of a proper one

I think is telling you that you need the XVID codec as DivX does not decode XVID
as far as I know.

This is NOT a codec problem.

G-Spot reads:

Corrupt AVI header
· Chunk: /RIFF:AVI
· Offset: 0x00001004
· Value:0xffffeff8

Definitely a corrupt header problem, surely this deserves a nuke, in the
meantime opening it in VDM allows it to rebuild the header information and you
can save the new avi, hope this gets sorted though, as im sure there are plenty
of users without VDM or without the knowledge to use it.

EDIT

looks like the VDM fix leaves the audio out of sync, could be fixed by
decompressing the original audio and re compressing it in CBR from the .wav

First post here so don\'t shout at me if I do it wrong!
Im a complete novice to all this avi stuff but Ive had trouble before
with Real player and WMP not playing avi\'s.

Here\'s my solution:
Download AVS Video Convertor and simply convert your avi into another
avi. I didn\'t change any settings, and it converted the avi into Xvid
(you can choose DivX if you want but I don\'t know what the difference is,
Feel free to help me with this) and it takes around 30-40 mins for a 350mb
file.
The only drawbacks are 1) the file size jumps to over 800mb and 2) the speech
sync is very slightly out but you can correct this with another downloaded
program VirtualDub.

As I said before I don\'t understand about avi\'s and codecs etc, but if
you\'re
like me and are just happy if everything works ok this could be the fix for
you.

I think I got it by using freeware "Super (c) v2007.build23 (July 4, 2007) by
eRightSoft". You find this and higher versions via g**gle, yah** or other
search-engines
1) select ffmpeg
2) go to video and simply select "Stream Copy"
3) go to audio and simply select "Stream Copy"
4) Right click into the open field near the bottom and select the corrupted
border.avi-file
5) click "open" or "select" or however it's called in your language (in german
it's "öffnen" or simply hit the return-button on your keyboard
6) Click "encode"
7) Do nothing. Be patient for a few seconds up to some minutes. Time for
encoding process will depend on your system.
The new file will be called (for instance) border.avi.AVI and will be
transferred to c:/
Whilst VirtualDub caused increasing audio-glitches on my standalones as well
even on VLC, Super just worked, ehm, super for me, wmp and standalones. Hope you
succeed as well! Great series, btw
Thanx to all of you for working on this, was some kind of fun (no, my real life
isn't THIS boring )

G-Spot reads:

Corrupt AVI header

· Offset: 0x00001004

Tried ol' standby "DivFix", no joy.

"G**gled" for fix, info that VirtualDub wouldn't fix "Header" info had me
stumped.
Messed around for three hours trying various stuff to no avail.

Finally,
1) Opened file in VirtualDub (1.7.8/build 28346) w/default @install settings,
VirtualDub did it's "stuff"..., finishes opening file...,
2) Goto "Video" settings, set to: "Direct Stream Copy",
3) Goto "Audio" settings, set to: a) "Source Audio", & b) "Direct Stream Copy",
4) Goto "File" settings, and "Save as AVI"......

I'll be damned! Good file!
Thought I'd let ya'll know 'bout this as it had me in fitz! - s



Good advise, worked a treat.

***End of above***

Well, my apologies...,

The above "Quik-Fix", not so good.
Apparently it will yield a playable file, but at approx. 00:42 sec, the audio
goes "out-of-sync".

Sorry if I wasted yer time - s

KUDOZ! schmock, putz me to shame!
Worked like a charm(and in sync!)!

FYI: Best to \"Select Output Container\" to \".avi\" prior to \"Step #1\" above.

Thanx much, and sorry for my mis-step - s

Pardon my ignorance, but should not this kind of problem be prompting someone
at EZTV or associates to contact the source distributor or capper to get a
REPACK or PROPER or whatever the name should be for a correction to this file?

I am assuming that this is what EZTV usually does when it "nukes" a file and
posts a new torrent for the correction.

Am I wrong in this statement?
Am I missing something?
