Having trouble with some videos

[sdaltons]

The main problem is that the audio is way out of sync with the video and its because the video doesn't play very smoothly.

Here is the log:

Too many video packets in the buffer: (1342 in 33561989 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

[rvm]

Try enabling the frame drop option in preferences -> performance.

[sdaltons]

that didn't help. vid is choppier with that enabled.

[sdaltons]

anything else i could try?

[rvm]

* Change the video output from direct3d to directx (preferences -> general -> video)
* Change the cache (preferences -> performance). Sometimes setting it to 0 fixes the problem.

[sdaltons]

ok those two things helped a ton. the audio is still just slightly ahead of the video but its not too bad and the video plays smoothly now.
