Video Shakes - Program To Repair?

When I play a certain .avi file the video seems to shake slightly every couple of seconds. This is the only .avi file that I have that does this. Can someone advise me (1) is this a codec problem or (2) is this a problem with the file, and what I can do to remedy this?

 

I think it's a file.

 

It could indeed be the quality of the source. But if you like, you may try:
1) check and repair possible errors with e.g. DivFix (always backup first); and/or
2) convert the avi into other formats (e.g. mpeg) to see if it's better.

 

look filter for avisynth ?
virtualdub first since its gui

 

marcus23: I hope not.

scf_au: I will try DivFix & converting to another file type.

shiroh: i will try avisynth & virtualdub as well.

Thanks for all the responses. I will post the results when i get them.

 

Sorry for taking so long. My graphics card stopped working due to an unrelated problem, and I've just put in the new one.

I've tried DivFix (didn't detect any problem), and AviSynth (couldn't find a filter that sounded like it would help). I will try changing the file type and VirtualDub later today.
