    Hi guys, any help would be appreciated. I have an LG LGRH7823W DVD Recorder / HDD Dixv player. I burn all of my downloaded AVI TV shows as data in Nero and I play them on the machine.. no problem so far.

    Every now and then I either get an AVI that is slightly out of sync with audio or I get an AVI that just stops playing half way through ie. it just freezes and I can't watch it anymore. Every single AVI that I burn as data plays perfectly fine on the computer so I can't try and fix audio sync etc on the computer as there isn't anything to fix.

    Any ideas? I have searched the net high and low and can't find a fix. Cheers!

    Hi djpoxy,
    Every now and then you are getting an AVI that is non-compliant to your LG player. Whatever it is, the LG has a complaint with it and your PC doesn't.
    These AVI TV shows, who's making them and, does he know what he's doing?
    If they come from all different places and some don't work, this would make more sense.
    Look carefully at your LG player's DivX requirements (it's what the DivX guys call a 'profile').
    Anyone who makes an AVI to the profile, the DivX guys have promised the LG guys it will play. (So, they built the player.)
    If the AVI goes 'outside' the profile, all bets are off...
    So check it out, maybe in the Book or whatever, see if you can get an exact LG technical specification for DivX playback compliance - and be aware, whoever is making the AVIs might not have read it!
    Regards

    hi guys

    I always test my avi's now with this awesome free app! AVI-MUX GUI.

    simple as pie it reads the avi and tells you the MS delay needed and will correct it on save as etc...

    drag and drop your avi into top window, highlight with mouse, then click button underneath stats...

    then highlight the bottom it just loaded in and it will show you the ms delay (if there is one?) then all you do is click save as, and it makes a new file/AVI

    brilliant

    Thanks very much for the replies. I will take heed of your suggestions, it's much appreciated. If I can add something... most of you would already know but I corrected an error I was having with an AVI simply by burning it at the slowest possible speed and with no other apps running. I know it's quite an obvious tip but very effective none the less. Cheers.

    Try loading the standalone profile. AVI-Mux GUI is capable of some avi features (low overhead, rec lists, etc.) that aren't supported by all avi splitters, even though its output is 100% spec compliant.
