I'm in need of help & a newbie so apologies if I am being stupid but...
I am having an issue with avi files freezing all the time, they are freezing on my laptop, PC & my DVD player.
THe DVD player runs Divx & has a usb port on the front. So I download the shows I wanna watch, stick them on my USB pen drive then watch them on my DVD player. I've done this for about a year with no probs however for about a month my shows are freezing on the DVD player. So I went to watch the original file on my laptop with Divx player & got the same thing, so tried it on my PC again with Divx player & same.
Now I don't believe it's a faulty avi file as it's happening on most of my shows I download most importantly they all work fine thru Windows media player.
I am running Win 7 on both my laptop & PC & using the latest Divx player for windows 7.
It just seems strange & makes me thing:
1. That it cant be the avi file as it works in Windows Media Player & freezes in diferent places all the time. Also I only download avi files with excellent feedback.
2. It cant be Windows 7 coz it's effecting my DVD player too?
Are you having playback issues when playing from USB stick only, or playing file(s) from PC's HDD and lappy also?..Try a different SW player like, VLC or Media player Classic..
As far as not playing properly on standalone DVD player(which seems to suport AVI/DivX/Xvid),compare the files that work to those that don't work.Use MediaInfo or Gspot to ID the specs of each one..
