SYMPTOMS
When Video For Windows is playing an AVI file, the processing power of the
computer system and the data rate of the AVI stream determine whether
frames will be skipped during playback. If the data rate exceeds the
ability of Video For Windows to render all the AVI frames in time, Video
For Windows will first try to catch up by decompressing delta frames but
not drawing them. If Video For Windows still can't catch up, it will
eventually skip all the way to the next key frame before it renders a new
frame.
STATUS
This behavior of Video for Windows is by design and cannot be controlled by
the application being affected.
