AVI Tech Question
Okay - so I have all of these avi video files that are, I assume, all using mpeg-4 in either a divx or xvid container. Am I right so far?
So - I also know that these files (most of them are bittorrented) are labelled something like "Desperate_Housewives_1x05_hdtv_xvid_tcm" or "Lost_1x13_hdtvlol_avi" or something. This is just an example - I've never even downloaded Lost.
I have 2 questions:
1. What does "LOL" and "TCM" mean? Is it something to do with the audio compression?
2.Is there a way to correct for what I assume is a frame-rate inconsistency? For example: certain avi files seem to play jerky for me - the movement looks a bit *off* - now the audio will generally sync but the actual play is just - stuttery. I am not certain but it may be on the files labelled TCM (I need to actually look at this in depth). Coverting the avi to mpeg2 does not improve the movement issues, probably because this does not correct frame rate problems.
According to g-spot, these files play just fine and I have all the necessary stuff running in the background.
But I want smooth looking video - How do I achieve this? What am I doing wrong? Is this a PAL-NTSC thing? I thought we had worked all those issues out. Do I need to force film something? Force feed something? Should I use the force?

These names will often be attached to the files. They identify who was responsible for the “rip”. This allows downloaders to have an idea of what kind of quality the rip is going to be. Some are shortened versions of the names. For example FoV = Future of Vision, and SFM = SciFi Maniacs. LOL is one of the most active groups - with their captures of many of the more popular shows being some of the most wildly distributed. LOKi has also become quite popular of late, capping many of the popular shows that LOL hasn't. FTV was once one of the most common tags you would see on rips. They do MPEG-1 analog captures, and have become less popular in the last year or so.
