XviDs codecs are constantly being improved so maybe that video was
processed by an old one. I have run into that before. You can use
GSpot to look inside and find what codec was used.

You can run the AVI thru Auto Gordian Knot and it will clean it up -
at least it has for me. Just input the AVI and output it as XviD AVI.
AGK re-renders it with VDubMod. Be sure to have the latest codecs.

HOT DAMN! You just made my day!

It's off to WalMart I go tomorrow morning, bright and early.
