tech help with avi torrents?

[tzikeh]

I have complete seasons of tv shows I've downloaded from torrent sites (HI THERE MPAA COME GET ME), and this weird thing happens.

I burn them to DVD in order to watch them on my DivX player on tv. Every once in a while, one file out of the 11 or 12 on the disk is all blocky and yucky. The rest of the files play just fine. To make it extra weird, the blocky and yucky file plays perfectly on the computer.

Anyone out there know of a way to fix this? Some kind of re-encode or something?

Huh! Interesting. I found a shorter way, though - hit ... one of the buttons (can't remember) on the remote twice and voila - fixed. The word "interlacing" comes up on the screen and the blockiness is gone.

HOWEVER.

One other problem I've had - with files that play perfectly visually - is the audio slipping out of sync. The episode starts off fine, and then slowly loses sync with the visual. Any ideas on that front?

That's weird. I don't know what would make it do that :(
