I had a question, my video keeps freezing when played with moonshell. The video is an AVI file. The video freezes but the sound keeps going. Any suggestions?

Wow how did you get it to play AVI files?

[phantomz]

i think he means it was an AVI file before he converted it into dpg..

[VietAzn368]

probably has to do with the quality and settings used when you encoded the video to DPG.

Does it freeze with every video?
DPG plugin settings also can affect smoothness of playback. To make it better, open your "moonshl.ini" and find the proper section. Then change settings as shown below:

[DPGPlugin]

; 9.1 Dithering = [0|1|2] (Default = 1)

; Video dithering. Tries to remove pixelation from video.
; 0 = No dithering. Original quality.
; 1 = Half dithering  (1/2). (Delay: below 200ms = full, below 400ms = half,
;     over 400ms = skip)
; 2 = Quarter dithering  (1/4). (Delay: below 200ms = full, below 400ms = half,
;     over 400ms = delay quarter)
; 3 = Strong dithering. (Delay: below 100ms = full, below 200ms = half,
;     below 300ms = quarter, over 300ms = skip)

Dithering=0

; 9.2 GOPSkip = [0|1] (Default = 1)

; When video is slowing down a lot there is an effective way to prevent it from
; happening by skipping GOPs (Group Of Pictures).
; 0 = GOP skipping off
; 1 = GOP skipping on

GOPSkip=0

; 9.3 AdaptiveDelayControl = [0|1] (Default = 1)

; Choosing the top priority value for control of the video frames.
; 0 = Video playback (as top priority)
; 1 = Audio/video synchronization (as top priority)

AdaptiveDelayControl=0

However, setting GOPSkip and AdaptiveDelayControl to 0 may deteriorate audio/video synchronization.

If it still freezes, then -- as VietAzn368 said -- encoding options are probably improper.

[Hi]

Or use batch dpg. It usually solves the video problems such as freezing. And when playing videos converted using batch dpg, it's best to set dithering, gopskip, and active delay control to 0.

Of course, that's assuming your not already using batch dpg. But However, I'd think you are using it, simply because batchdpg usually doesn't have problems.

google batchdpg. Remember to follow the instructions on the website.

I converted the files to AVI. they were orginally FLV.

[Hi]

If you install the k-lite codec pack first you can use batch dpg to convert your flv files directly to dpg files, just so you know.

Know that your flv files are avi files, it doesn't matter what the origanal format was. Avi is avi, no matter what it once was. (Well actually, sneef tought me that avi is a container that needs multipul codecs and therefor there are different kinds of avi files. Whatever, what I said about the origanal format and current format is still true. Just ignore this if it's confusing you.)

That first part is actually not true. Just as AVI is a container there are other containers as well such as OGM and MKV. FLVs are their own container as well as their own codec, so if you are converting an AVI to an FLV you are indeed truly converting the whole file.

[Enixcell]

So, where do i obtain this k-lite codec pack??

Try simply reconverting the same video using the same settings except lowering the bitrate or framerate or both.

I meant "Know that your flv files are NOW avi files"
