Well Is there an alternative? What can we do? How much money exactly did you lose? What about the "He was in the hospital" story? Does it coincide with the date of the item being sent?

i lost just over £200. to be fair to the seller all the proof he provided does indeed seem to genuine. paypal informed me that he provided receipts for al model he posted on the same date as mine, which everyone has received some time ago and he also provided proof that he had indeed been in hospital form the 2nd may (i purchased the model on the 3rd) to the 9th and posted the item first class on the 12th. he said he hadn't replied to me emails because he was waiting to hear back from the post office so he could give me a better idea of what had happened to the model. If only he had paid the extra few quid then all this wouldn't have been a problem.

there has to be something conflicting with the header on your system. could be a codec issue as mentioned. you can use MediaInfo to check all the details of video file. here's a screenshot of the info for the trailer:

as you can see the header is correct.

Are we sure about this? I can't believe that mplayer/ffmpeg is just imagining this up out of thin air! Where should this info come from if not somewhere from within the file? Maybe someone with more experience than me can find out more?

... and i dont want to go on the dev-mailing list of mplayer with something trivial like this (oss devs can get kind of annoyed ;)

It seems others have problems with xvids and mplayer

here's a bit of information i found

interesting to note about the later XVID codecs supporting AR. try updating to the latest XVID codec to see if that fixes the problem because all of my Vids are encoded with the latest version of koepi's Xvid codec v 1.2.1
