Blocks? Nope, I don't know of any cure for data that isn't there.

[Chronic716]

no not blocks the datas there , theres just these lilttle blotchy squares over it flickering on and off

Sounds more like codec issues than anything else.

[Chronic716]

i dont think it is i have the codec it says it is plus its not doing it thru the whole movie it pops up every few minutes

[dukenukem]

probably bad data in the file like corruption.

[Chronic716]

so theres no way to fix it than or even improve it a lil bit ?

[lordsmurf]

No.

There is NO program that can redraw frames.. lol.. it is what it is. Screwed. Try to obtain/get the video from the source again. If that does not work, do what I do.. delete.
I know it sux but sometimes you lose the data. been there .. done that.. maybe a thousand times!

I am assuming that the same blotches are at the same point each time that you play it. Correct? If this is so then cutting out the few bad parts may give you acceptable results. Unless it is more like happening alot thru the hole file.
Just my luck it would have to happen right when "and the killer is...XXXXXXX."

heres some snapshots of the video maybe this will explain what im talking about a lil more if i wasnt explaining it right

Those pictures look EXACTLY like an incomplete download...eg 99% or 99.99% of an avi.

Where did you get the avi? If it was from the net, and you dloaded 100% (to your knowledge) then someone has probably re-named an incomplete file as being 100% when it wasnt.

[lordsmurf]

No. No no no no no. Cannot be fixed.
Either a codec issue or ruined file. One of the two.

[Capmaster]

Agreed. Those aren't macro blocks. I've had good luck eliminating macro blocks from source material, but that looks like a bad file

Try uninstalling all your MPEG 4 codecs -- Divx, Xvid, 3ivx, etc. Then install only the latest Xvid and/or Divx.
