When I view the movie on my linux computer it runs fine. but when I view it with my Windows XP SP2 machine in windows media player it runs like it is in fast forward. If I play the file in DIVX Player on the same machine it plays fine.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thank you

You could try adding "-ffourcc xvid" to your command. It's possible that WMP is incorrectly detecting the file type, although I would expect it to set that automatically when you use xvid. Worth a shot anyway.
I added the "ffourcc xvid" to the command. I even tried using a transcode command and it still looks like the video is fast forwarding.
Any other ideas.
Thank you

Okay here is a little bit more clarification on the situation I am having with my movies.
Programs used in test playback
Windows Media Player 9.0 and 10
Windows Media Player Classic
DivX Player 6.X
Totem (from the Ubuntu 5.10)
Mplayer (from the Ubuntu 5.10)
Programs used to encode
mencoder (from the Ubuntu 5.10)
System used for encoding
Ubuntu 5.10 32bit Running on an Athalon 64 bit proc desktop
Here is the problem.
After encoding the movie I play it on the machine that encoded it. I play it with totem and Mplayer and it plays fine.
I copy the file to my storage server then attempt to play the file with windows XP media player 9 and 10, then media player classic (7.10) and DIVX player 6.X.
When I play the file on the XP machine with any media player (7.10,9,and 10)the video plays FAST (as if you are fast forwarding the video). when I play the file with DivX player 6.X it plays normally.
now if it was just me I would not have a problem, but my wife uses a windows XP Machine and really doesn't want to open a different movie player to watch the videos I have.
I hope we can find a resolution to this issue. i really do not want to have to install Windows on my new Dual Proc computer in order to rip movies to AVIs
thank you

You could also try using lavc. It's MPEG4 just like XVID, just a different implementation. You'd still have to use ffourcc to get it to play in WMP though because it doesn't recognize the default fourcc as MPEG4.
I would post a link to the codec pack for WM, but A. its a linux forum and B. im not sure if all the codecs included are Legal/free.
I haven't tested it a while, because I have just been making .iso and burning to dvd. More portable and saves on drive space.

I did figure it out and it was the Installation of windows on that particular computer. Re-Built it and it works fine.
I am posting my Script (not quite finished incase any one wants it... It does Xvid dixX and x264 for TV Series. Haven't completed the Movie and Adult Sections yet.
