I recently bought a new computer and started to play divx/xvid/mpeg files and they were choppy and distorted. I tried a bunch of things and thought it may be the codecs but the codecs are fine. After trying a million things and losing it, I decided to turn down the hardware acceleration in the display settings. That worked and I can see the videos without distortion, but they look like crap without the hardware acceleration (So Bad that I'd rather not watch the movies that way). So I had to put the hardware acceleration back up. I downloaded Virtual Dub and loaded the videos in (with hardware acceleration FULL) and the videos looked fine within Virtual Dub, however, when I try to play them on Windows Media Player or the DIVX 5.02 Player or BSPlayer they have this distortion to them. Has anyone had this problem, does anyone know how to fix it? Note: I have a Pentium 2.8GHz, Raedon 9500 PRO, Sound Blaster Audigy 2, and a Planar Monitor. I'm sure all the drivers are in correctly because I did the Microsoft DX diagnostics test and every test passed (Direct Draw, Direct X, and Direct Sound). Any help is appreciated. I did the print screen thing and it is choppy in MS Paint. I'm not sure what that means. I guess it's an overlay issue, but how do I fix that? I am running Windows XP Pro, and all files not just XVID play back choppy.

I'm thinking video card drivers, RAM/Pagefile or background ops.

Actually, it's a problem with Microsoft's Mplayer (media player). Most DVD players will play the files flawlessly. (Sidenote: Divx "Playa" couldn't even play the file).
I tested and reproduced the same symptoms with Mplayer and was able to resolve them with intermedia windvd as well as cyberdvd.
Oddly this only happens with xvid files.

I find NTFS a lot better than the Fat32 systems used

I have the same problem, but ONLY with some Xvid files. It doesn´t matter if I use Windows Media Player, WinDVD or Cyberlink PowerDVD.
I have the xvid codec released 30 March 2003
Does anyone know what might be the problem?

With the divx player, the playback is not only choppy, it´s upside down too.

Okay, I read this on divx.com FAQ page:
"This may occur on certain computers with certain video configurations and high screen resolutions. You can fix it by lowering your screen resolution, exiting and restarting the Player and restarting playback."
It didn´t work for me, but it might help someone else with the same problem.
