Video Stuttering With Ac3 Sound... Options

[stholt]

Anyone else been having issues with divx/xvid files with 5.1 ac3 sound? It seems like every way I try to get this to work, while watching it streamed over a network hardline through WMP11, about every five minutes or so the video stutters/skips for a second or two and then it's fine. I've demuxed the video and converted the ac3 to a stereo mp3 and remuxed it and the whole thing plays just fine(I've done this on more than one source), so i figure it's something with the divx/xvid/ac3 "support" MS has given us. Any thoughts? I usually use VirtualDubMod for the muxing, is there a better program out there? I like to use divx/avid because I get almost realtime encoding with great quality, whereas WMV takes 12-15 hours to encode.

I re-encoded the uadio to mp3 stereo and video still occasionally stutters.

It is mostly in panning shots, it is a slight judder and only happens with some avi's.



I dont think stutter has to do with AC3 audio, that is a red herring.

I think it is to do with the video settings, most scene rips work fine, this one cause me trouble because he dosnt use scene standards. it looks good but it causes playback issues.
