(1/2) > >>

okay..this is getting FRUSTRATING.  I dled Mermaids forest like three times and couldnt get it to work, tried registering with the forums to find out what i was doing wrong and now after dling  Galaxy Express, i find that its doing the SAME THING.  when i go to log in, it tells me my account does not exist and i had to  RE-REGISTER!
what is up with some of the latest files guys?? i know you put a lot of hard work into it, and we appreciate your efforts. but its seeming more and more you have to hold  your breath, hop on your left toes, pat your head and rub your tummy while humming "its a wonderful life" in order to get things to work properly.   WHAT codec will keep Mermaids forest 3-9 and galaxy express 1 from crashing?
sincerely,
Amron-Aroke

amronaroke:
seems the beta .3 version of XviD works to clear out the problem as well.  I looked around the site some more and found a few ideas..and yes..started blindly dling codecs till i got one that made it work and didnt override my previous codecs (there was a european one from a diff. site i tried, but it makes it so older files dont want to play (early fansub releases and Mpegs)

mikala:
well it's not crashing for me .
But our encoders use (generally) the last codec . so it's should be better to use the last Xvid ( currently 1.0RC2 )

Rheinhard:
URGENT!

It is precisely this latest codec that is the problem.

Apparently a default setting was changed in the latest version of XVID to use "packed bitstream".  This was not the default before.  This option, if left in operation, causes major heartburn for any playback method using libavcodec (this includes standalone players like VLC, and software such as ffmpeg).  I have seen the same report of inability to play files encoded with the latest XVID from a variety of different people.  And it's not just Galaxy Railways, I encountered this same issue with the most recent episode of Planetes as well.

With this default in effect, the video at best looks very jerky when played back in many players, because each headerless vop translates into a dropped frame.  There is a thread on this issue in the AnimeSuki tech forum.

My biggest problem is that I am trying to convert these episodes to MPEG2 for conversion to standard video DVD, in order to be able to share them with friends who don't have fast enough computers or Internet to watch them on their PCs.  I've never had a problem doing this with episodes 1-6, but starting with 7 the export process, which uses ffmpeg, totally crumps.  

PLEASE PLEASE, turn this packed bitstream option off when encoding with the latest xvid release.  You will make life a lot easier for a great many people.

I use ffdshow and the newest codec and play it on my dvix player.
Works fine for me.
If that doesnt work I usually go to the next player and then it will work.
