GK, large 3cd DivX's and Audio going nuts

I have absolutely no idea what is causing this issue, but I can tell you that I have had the exact same issue with all of my AC3, 3CD rips. However, after you split the file to hit 3CDs, each part works fine. So I just didnt worry about it. You just gotta watch the whole movie to check your sync

I am guessing, but only guessing, that this is an .avi audio interleave issue. Symptoms like these occur frequently with .ac3 files. There are general guidelines to use for preload and interleave intervals in the Audio forum.

No, It's almost definitely not an interleave/preload/whatever mux-setting, as it works perfectly both if I split it up and if I just watch from the start. More likely (MOST likely, actually), some y2k-bug-writer in Microsoft said something on the lines of "Hell, who'd need a >2 Gig media file anyway?" and put a signed integer to hold filesize in the code. Or just accidentally wrote "int" and didn't bother checking if the default is signed or not. PTUI. Can someone please confirm the AC3 decoder (as is installed with audiofilters) is indeed Microsoft code? Because if *not* we might ask and thereby get this fixed. If it is, we might still get it fixed - we just need to ask more nicely ;-) Cheers.

Well, I've had the same difficulty before with ac3 audio -- problems when cut but not when whole -- and I managed to eliminate it by re-interleaving with different values. In my case, it was 1.4GB, not over 2, and I was using ac3 audio filters rather than a DD compatible soundcard. YMMV
