Hi.

I have problem with AVIs created by NIKON S200:

- there is no audio few seconds after video start, then when audio start to play, video is slowed until audio/video get in sysnc (it happend always, so no problem to reproduce in XBMC, tested on 3 different PCs)
- some such AVI i had home even freeze in XBMC durning playback

This problem was always here since i am tryed XBMC first time (1 year now?).

Here is sample

It is stupid M-JPEG video with PCM audio
There is no problem play it in any DirectShow based player using FFDshow. If i am not wrong, FFDshow using FFMPEG as XBMC too, so where can be problem? Splitter?

Small update:

I remux my sample from AVI to MKV by MKVMerge and it plays fine.

I bet it have something to do with AVI splitter used by XBMC.

EDIT:
Even open/save AVI (direct stream copy) in VirtualDub will fix the problem...

Hi,

I have the exact same problem with all my AVI movies shot with my Canaon Powershot. They are also MJPG / PCM.

I have a lot of these movies, and they do slow down at the beginning until the audio syncs up. This is pretty annoying especially on short videos ;(

This problem happens on my desktop, on my revo and when using linux or windows 7 64bits and windows XP.

This problem does not happen with Windows Media Center though.

Would anybody know how to fix this issue? I do not mind using an external player if it is needed.

I am using the latest stable releas (9.11).

Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanx!
