Quicktime Gradually Lagging

I've been noticing recently that my Quicktime movies, played anywhere on the computer, they slowly get out-of-sync over a time period of a few seconds. Watching a two minute clip, it can be off-sync by at least two or three seconds at the end. If I click the curser and drag it to the same spot in the video, it resyncs, then gets worse after, again. Is there any issue that would make Quicktime lag like that? Nothing on my machine's running that would hinder Quicktime's processes, I just want my movies to play right 😖

MPEG, DIVX, and the lot are all fine, though. Go figure it happens to my favorite format 😬

You've gotta update your divxcodec. Go to www.divxcodec.com and upgrade to the most recent version, then everything will play fine.

Quicktime has nothing to do with DIVX... are you sure? 😑

perhaps the software got an error in it?

Quicktime uses its own codec.

First make sure no other program is using the CPU when you're running quicktime. Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card.

If that doesn't help, then your computer isn't fast enough to play quicktime. You could try shrinking the window, or downloading a lower res version of the video.

It happens with any size video... and it just started slowing down, it was awesome at playing it in Full Screen mode before 😖

Pentium 4, 1.7 GHz, 512 MB ram, 160 GB hard drive space total... it is fully capable of the video like it should, but it just doesn't. I reinstalled, it worked, then it got bad again 😬

Have you tried upgrading your graphics drivers?

Also make sure you only have one video window open at any time.

I'll check on upgrading the drivers tomorrow, perhaps that can fix it.

Only one video open at a time, especially since this started happening.
