I just rec’d my WDTVLP unit on Friday, it is updated to the latest firmware for hulu+ access. I’ve been trying to play some xvid avi files and have run across the same problem with each one I attempt to play. The video seems to hang every few seconds and the audio is out of sync. These files play fine on the computer, on the old xbox and on my cell phone. The files all live on a 1T usb drive connected directly to the unit. (never could get network access to work but saving that issue for another day). I’ve spent the better part of the morning browsing the forum and google to try to find an answer. I did see where GMC may cause an issue but based on the info below it doesn’t appear this video has that. Anything jump out at anyone? If the only answer is to convert all 500+ avi’s I’ll have to send this back and dig the xbox back out.
