[catdaddio6]

Try AviMuxGui . Make sure the audio file is CBR. Don't encode the audio at too high a bit rate. For testing, try 128kbs.

thats the prog i'm using,,i've tried cbr and ac3 with the file and it still gets outta sync after ff,,,i muxed the cbr with vdub and it worked fine,,but vdub dont seem to support vbr or ac3 as muxing streams,,so i'm trying to find the appropriate setting for avi-mux gui

Download and install the latest GSpot (1.52beta). Then open your avi with Gspot. Look to see if your files have GMC and/or QPEL - You don't want these.

Your problem is not QPEL or it wouldn't play at all. It might have issues with GMC though, and this could be your problem.

Also look at PAR (pixel aspect ratio). This should be 1.00, meaning "square pixels". This could cause issues too if they aren't square (other than 1.00), like the DVP642 might not recognise the file.

i use mpeg4modifier,,,its in the mux

[giannid]

Right, Mpeg4modifier will correct the square pixel issue. Did you use Gspot to see if your files had GMC?

I think GMC is okay for Divx but not for Xvid.

Also if you double click on the system menu to get a semi-transparent background on subtitles, this may have an adverse effect on Divx files while it does the opposite for Xvid files (helps them play better).

no gmc or qpel,,,its in the mux,,,what settings do you use in avimux for the 642??if i have a file with cbr that i mux with vdub and it works fine,,then i mux the original with avi-mux and it dont play right,,that means it comes down to the way avi-mux is muxing it

I am not familiar with Avimux so someone else try to help out on that please.
