Yeah I am planning for an Upgrade sometime soon, will be a while off yet though can't afford it right atm. It's very strange this skipping problem as it only skips with Xvid's that I have created myself, most Xvid's I have downloaded work fine and Skip faster than lightning there not effecting my recordings.
I have checked the details Tab for the Xvid's I have downloaded and that I have created myself and cannot see much difference in Framerate, Resolution or anyone like that so I'm a little confused. I'll work it out eventually though
If anyone has had problems with any Xvid's they have created and resolved there own issues, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
