I am having big problems with the dvd rips I get from the net these days. They all seem to jerk every few seconds and the audio is out of sink. I think I know why, its my computer is not good enough. Anyones I rip myself work fine, but its because I reduce the size of the picture. These days people seem to just knock of the black bars a rip it regardless of the quality and size of the picture.

So my question is. If I manage to run divx under linux, will it be any better.

Any my next question is: how do I run it under linux. I dont have much experience with it and would appreciated an idiots guide if some one can help me.

Cheers
