I've run all my videos trough Prism video converter. it optimises the videos to the max. The xvid mode the emumovies are in are no the best.
Guide to Prism Video converter. You set the settings in the video prism converter like this: output format: AVI. 'Encoder options': X-vid mpeg 4 codec, sound compresser; uncompressed pcm, sound format (as you like it, but i put it to 8 bit mono as i dont need the sound and this makes the files smaller. The 'edit output' i leave as it is. Now you only need to press 'browse' to find a new folder (that you've already made)to let the program put the final files in. It's a fast program and it works. Even when the new torrent with x-vid format came out some months ago i still had the problem with 2 seconds of blank screen before the video showed up. After running the video files trough Prism Video coverter things worked smoot. If you are using the old torrent then there's a world ín difference and things will work out to the smootest. Try it. You wont regret it.
