The problem: I can select and play an avi file in vlc, Nero showtime
or Creative Media Player. It plays fine. When it ends I select the
second part, or another, different avi file and try to play it.

Frame speed is reduced dramatically, leaving a jerky picture with the
sound out of sync. The only way I can play a second avi is to reboot.

Has anyone seen this, or can anyone point me at a cure? It's really,
really irritating....

ps I have tried with the very latest Nvidia files. No difference.

Try these:

At the very least, it will eliminate codecs as the source of the
problem, if it doesn't fix it completely.


That's about the worst advice I've ever heard.

A crap/hacked/cracked codec pack is that last thing you
need. Your AVI problem is likely due to too many codecs
installed on your system, not too few.


The Lite codec pack is pretty well known and should cause no problems.
I use the Combined Community Codec Pack 2006 and previous versions for
the last year of so.

The thing to remember when installing new codecs is to remove the old
ones first. It may not be necessary in all cases, but is often
recommended.


K-Lite is better then Nimo, but they both still suck. At
least in many cases you can forget about removing old
codecs before installing these packs, because it's not
possible to do so.

If I had a dollar for every system that's been hosed by
these codec packs I'd be a multimillionaire.
