Divx playback skips a few frames
I'm using SageTV to watch .avi movies I've imported to the media library. The movies run fine 95% of the time, but every now and then, it skips a few frames, making me miss important plot points. Gspot says I have 5 compatible codecs to watch the movie, and it doesn't skip when I watch the movie in another player (media player classic).
Does anyone know what the problem is? Im running SageTV 2.1. All the settings are default.

Play one of the AVI files in regular WMP. Go to Files > Properties and see which (divx) video and audio decoders it is using.

Media player 10 is using the XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder. Should I change the decoder being used in Sage? How do I do that? When I look, all I can change is the MPEG-2 decoder from default to the ffdshow4 MPEG-4 decoder?

Unfortunately, SageTV 2.x does not have configuration settings for file types outside of MPEG-2/DVD (do I hear a feature request!).
Doesn't XviD have a decoder configuration app? I haven't setup that codec on my PC since I reinstalled Windows, but I seem to remember seeing a little utility that would let you change settings for the XviD directshow filter. If so, completely shut down the SageTV UI and stop the service (if you are using the service), then make some changes in the codec app, and then restart SageTV to see how they affect your playback.
