Hi
There is a new windows xvid codec called Jambo. Somepeople are using this to encode with and it is causing massive problems with any program on my mac, nothing seems to be able to play these new XviDs smoothly. Has anyone got any sugestions. Ive tried on a G3 and a G4 both are weird,
Thanks
Chris

It seems as if Jambo is just the next release candidate for XviD. Get 3ivx and see if it plays.

Hi, thanks for your suggestion but i have even tried this and its still awful playback. Dvix XviD etc. isn't very well supported on the mac

Do you have links to any sample? I do wonder if it isn't something odd about these 'Jambo' files... 'Odd' could be anything from strange soundtrack formats to wrong video sizes (if the XviD was encoded in height/width that wasn't a multiple of 8 it could cause problems). Try playing it in VLC, that handles most formats well. You can also ask the video geniouses in the 3ivx forums, and arrange to send a sample to them, they're usually very helpful about new/undiscovered bugs.
