Reaven,

With so many postings, you should be aware that one of the first rules when you ask for help on the forum is to provide good detailed information.

Hardware platform, software version, OS version, Launcher version...

Then a detailed Mediainfo report on the problem file and debug logs if appropriate (use a pastebin site for these rather than clog up the forum)

Without good information, no-one is going to be able to help you.

See the thread "HOW-TO post about a XBMC for Mac or Apple TV problem in a useful manner"

here.... http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=47124

Oh - and there is NO SUCH THING as a "plain .avi". AVI is a container format that can hold many different audio and video formats.

Don't set resample quality to really high, it uses a lot of cpu, hence the name.
