Ok, here it goes. I have downloaded Lost for 3 days. I was gonna chill today, and then watch it.

It seemed to work fine, but every 3 minute or so, it keeps lagging, at the exact same points. And then it jumps 30seconds, and everything turns into a liquid kinda thing. A known XVID problem.

Now, Ive tryed to download the KL-Codec pack and stuff, and played it in WMP, WMP Classic, DiVX player and everything.

Can anyone help me out? I smashed my desk and I have been killing my keyboard today. Im so pissed off. :x
 
Sounds more like a corrupted inderx and/or missing frames. I don't know if you can fix that.
 
@Daniel: Noob! :lol: (j/k)

Check it with DivFix, see if there is anything wrong with it.

No it's not. I know of others who has the same rip and it works.

Could have gone bad during/after download.
 
Maybe the different codecs are messing with eachother. Deinstall all videocodecs, reinstall VLC and it might work.
 
Ehm whereever you told it to (dunno where that is, I never use the default).
Why doesn't your search work?
 
Have you deinstaled them from this box ?

One way to find divfix:
start->run->cmd
type:
cd \
dir divfix.exe /s

BTW, if you haven't done so recently, take a day to do some basic system checking:
-Run Most/All updates from Windows Update (not just the critical ones).
-Run Office Update (if you have Office).
-Update Drivers.
-Update Other Software.
-Do an Antivirus Check on your entire HD (after updating your Antivirus).
-Update Spybot Search & Destroy, immunize your system, and run a check.
-Update Adaware and run a check.
-Update MS Antispyware and run a check.
-Run Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and address problems found there.
-Check Disk your HD.
 
^Wow. Thanks a lot Ill do some of that,

I tried divfix and it found 27 corrupted files.

"Corrupted data detected at frame 5451 (00:03:47)
Error offset: 37167076 ($02371FE4)
Corrupted data detected at frame 6672 (00:04:38)
Error offset: 47650484 ($02D716B4)"

Does that mean its hopeless?? The DivFix file was totally screwed and 10 minutes shorter aswell.

Just let me know if it's hopeless. Im off now. Thanks a lot ESPNSTI, Swek, Padrino and UKD. I owe u guys.
 
Sounds like it's toast, yes.
One last resort thing you could try is this:

Way back when I used to run uManiac's version of XVid ( http://umaniac.leffe.dnsalias.com/ ) because it seemed to be fairly resistant to corrupt files.
You'd have to uninstall your current XVid codec and install this:
http://xvid.hopto.org/stable/XviD.Root.24.02.2003.1100.exe (Direct Link)
Mind you this is a very old codec, so I wouldn't use it permanently.

Verify that it's actually using the codec when playing the file:
Open it with Media Player Classic (mplayer2.exe) and go to File->Properties->Advanced.
Look at "Filters in Use" and "Codecs in Use" and check that the XVid codec is listed in one of them (I'm not sure if it'll be listed as uManiac's or not though).
