2 Problems, 1. Lots of files in wrong Aspect Ratio, 2. A/V slow down on some SD AVI's

1st Problem,

I've got a bunch of videos that are 4:3 that were stretched to 16:9 due to being broadcasted that way and I have to use XBMC to use Stretch 4:3 to get them back to the correct aspect ratio. Is there anyway I can flag XBMC to do that to the whole group of files or am I stuck doing it manually for every vid?


2nd Problem, I run a AMD E-350 APU (Zacate) and use the optical out for audio in WASAPI mode and these particular files play fine for a few seconds and then just stutter/slow down. Yes DXVA is on. Here's the info for the files:


Format : AVI

I've tried changing to DirectSound, Primary Sound Driver, and I've changed Fullscreen Window to True Full Screen etc and they all do the exact same thing. I'm unsure what to do other than re-encode all the files which will take some time... These files play just fine on my Q9550 rig.

Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Just tried the files on the same PC with WMP and it plays just fine in that... wtf?
