Operating System - Windows XP
Player- WMP 10.
divX codec downloaded from divX.com

Process - Copied video clip files using Nero Express as data files transfer.
[File type shown in XP is video clip even though hide file extension has been unchecked. I remember those files were .avi from previous computer file extension display, using Win2000, WMP 9. It was playable from there with divX codec downloaded from divX.com]

Currently -
In one movie, the video freeze at the 2nd minutes while the sound continues as usual when played with WMP 10.
With PowerDVD, the video run faster than normal, sound rate is also faster but not synchronized with the video. The lips movement does not match the sound.

In another movie, there was a long reading from the CD-R and then the message "... player not support the file type or the codec used to compressed the file"
With DVD player, it was also a long read followed by the message
"... cannot find combination of filters"

Please help to diagnose which part is faulty.
The transfering as data files using NeroExpress, WMP10, Operating System insufficient patch, ....?

Thanks

I'll help you out, but you really should look around the forum first before posting a new thread. This same question I'm sure has already been answered at least a dozen times by now.

Try using a different player, for example, Media Player Classic or VLC. If DivX codec doesn't work for your current computer, try using FFDShow.

You said you copied the video files using Nero Express... Do you mean you burned the files to a CD and then copied it to your new computer, or did you actually just copy it onto the disc and pasted it to your other computer directly. Please clarify that for me.

If you have any trouble locating the above programs, I'll gladly give some links if needed.

I take the hard-disk of the previous computer Pentium III 800MHz and temporarily connect it to the IDE of the new computer dual-core 2.8GHz. Transfered the video files to the new computer hard-disk. Removed the old hard-disk and put it back to the old computer. Then I burn at full speed the video files to the CD-R from the new computer. I play the files directly from the CD-R.

Thanks.

Yikes. I don't see a problem up until you said you were "burning at full speed." That most definitely is the reason for any skipping. Period. Try slowing it down to anything lower than 12x. I'm serious. If you're not using anything remotely reliable as a Plextor CD burner or Taiyo-Yuden CD's, you really have no reason for burning at full speed. Sure, it says you can, but if you want to be able to watch or hear what you burned at least 5 mins later (or in this case, sooner than that :P), then you should really, really, really-really-really slow down the burn speed.
