Very strange AVI playback problem

Hey all,
I really hope someone can help me with this one. I recently downloaded some episodes of Lost and Battlestar Galactica. They are AVIs. When I play them, in any media player (well all the ones I've tried) I have the same problem.
At first everything seems fine. After about, 10 seconds, it all goes pear shaped. Usually (depending on the player) there will be a freeze, then a sizable jump past that point (skipping many many frames). Now the weirdness happens. The frame from which the player first froze then bleeds into the frame it has skipped to. I can liken it to texture mapping a image onto a series of moving 3d objects. After about 5-10 seconds the normal frame display returns. This problem re-occurs more frequently after the initial time seemingly exponentially.
I just can't seem to figure it out. I have used Gspot and it tells me everything is fine (Xvid codec). Just to be sure I download the latest Xvid codec I can find, no use. I unistall the K-lite codec pack. No avail.
Other things I've read suggest that the files could be corrupt, but I'm not so sure about that. It seems much more like a playback problem.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

it sounds corrupt
but the only but the only things i could suggest are
program called AVI fixed
or use virtual dub to reencode it to an uncompresed AVI or a DivX if you dont have drive space for an uncompressed avi

I have exactly the same problem as gringer, i have tried atleast 10 avi's some of which have worked previously.
The only difference is that I have recently re-installed on to a new hard drive, I must have missed something somewhere when re-installing.
System: AMD 64 3500+, Asus A8V Deluxe, 2gb Crucial Balistix, ATI X800XL (Catalyst 6.2) Creative Audigy 4.

Vindi,
Your system is similar to mine. I'm running an AMD 64 3.2, ASUS K8n-e deluxe board, Audigy 2 zs, ASUS Geforce 6800 v9999gt 256mb, 1 gig corsaire high speed ram.
I'm not sure but perhaps its the audigy software? Anyone know of creative drivers affecting playback?
Also, it's a long shot, but I recently moved to Taiwan and the power here is a bit sketchy. The lights pulse often. I was wondering if power supply could be affecting this as well?
Cheers.

its worth a try, i'm updating my drivers to see if it helps.
*update*
Updated to latest sound Drivers & chipset drivers, still no luck AVI's are still having playback issues.
Other things I have tried:
k-Lite Codec pack
Gordian Knot codec pack
Video LAN Player

that could be a codec problem, try installing a codec pack like k-lite or gordian knot.
