FYI; MPlayer is not even available in XBMC for Windows. Please upload the full debug log (uncut) to pastebin.com and post the URL to in here in the forum if you want a better opinion of what could be wrong.

Yeah it is probably due to a corrupt file. You can confirm that by re-muxing it through VirtualDub:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Appendix_B:_...ideo_files
Quote:To use VirtualDub on your Windows computer to re-mux, open the AVI file in VirtualDub then select "Direct-Stream" for both the video and audio which saves a new fixed file. Since VirtualDub creates a new header (internal-index), it usually also automaticly fixes any problems with bad/corrupt headers as well. If the problem is due to a bad/corrupt container/video/audio header or a VBR MP3 Header (which VirtualDub usually give a pop-up message stating when you open the file), then to fix that you must use VirtualDub to first fully decompress the audio-stream to PCM (only process audio, Direct-Stream the video) saving to a new AVI file, then open that new file and do another RE-MUX to recompress the uncompressed PCM-audio to the MP3 CBR format with the bit-rate of your choise, (again just leave the video as Direct-Stream, to only process the audio), by first decompressing the audio you will any A/V sync-problem caused by MP3 VBR (MP3 Variable Bit Rate). In the other 5% of the times the cause is a poorly encoding audio or video stream, there is no simple solution to this, we suggest you visit sites like doom9.net, videohelp.com or avsforum.com for information and support/help with such.

I really hope that the video player will come more up to date in some time. I know the team have chosen this player because of cross plattform open source. i can digg that.

I just feel like as of now the player is falling behind in many ways.

- The player doesent handle framedrops or avi corruption that good. i have tested with 4 other players in windows and they all play the same avi file nicely.

- overall performance gives me a little 1998 feeling. regular divx files is somewhat choppy in times.

- 720p and 1080 is a sad story.

I really hope that the player will catch up with todays expected standards.

Anyhow im not complaining Wink

ffmpeg isn't that bad and they did a lot of things recently but our svn isn't up to date. Hopefully we'll update to the latest ffmpeg revision latest after Atlantis.

Keep up the nice work guys. I have all respect in the world for all
that team XBMC does to this software. And i understand that
going from a locked xbox plattform to the crazy hw of the open i386 scene
is not easy.

I'm gonna do my part in helping out in the areas i can. Smile
