[XviD-devel] xvid streams that xvid can't play

[Michael Militzer]

Hi,

yes, the file appears to be damaged. How was the file encoded? Did you
encode it yourself or did you obtain it from somewhere else?

Similar artifacts can be observed when files have been transfered
incomplete or errorness through network.

Regards,
Michael
