I have an unhappy Xvid compressed video in an avi container. Usually I just copy the files like this to a rw disk and pop it in my Philips 3355 (the recording sibling of the philips 642). TYpically these files play flawlessly, however, this particular one freezes audio and video at several consistent places. I can FF past the freeze, but it will freeze again further during play. No freezes or hiccups while playing on the PC.
I ran it through DivFix and looked for errors in VdubMod, none were detected. My bright idea was to re-encode without compression to see if it would clear up the file. All I could get with VdubMod was a humongus mpg file or even trying the maximum bitrate, the compressed results are not acceptable. I tried TMPG but looked like it was going to take 22 hours![]()
I have ruled out media, as I have tried recording on several brands of DVD+RW as well as CD-R. Same freezes at same places.
Is there another/better way to go about this? Thanks for any advice.

No such thing as re-encode without compression.
You can decode to uncompressed RGB, but that'll create a HUGE file. You can then re-encode to whatever format you want, but as they say, GIGO. -
