Smoother XVID playback

[nazopo]

I have some XVID files which play normal. But if you compare it against an mpg2 file or TS file recorded with a PVR, you notice the mpg2 or TS has
a smoother playback which would be comparable to what you would watch on tv. I have post-processing disabled. If that is the way XVID compression done than o well. It just seems like they could play faster.

Does Tools -> Messages... (set Verbosity to 2) complain something during playback?

[nazopo]

Nope.

Would you like a sample of the video?

[VLC_help]

Yes, if you can share it.

I noticed the MPEG2 version framerate is 59.94 while the XVID version is 29.97.

MPEG-2 one is prolly interlaced one. Is there some section of that XVID video where problems should be seen?

[nazopo]

You are correct. The MPG2 source is 1080i. There is no problem shown in the video. Do you think the refresh rate has anything to deal with it?

[VLC_help]

If you use yadif x2 deinterlace, it might smoothness better than the algorithm used to make that Xvid copy.

I tried that and it didn't do anything. Does XVId tend to make videos play slower than their less compressed counterpart?

No. It is just video codec.
