   i have 10 MB .avi video and i am using it at the start of the game. But it's running too slow and audio running faster than video. i made this:

   function game_start {
  PlayVideo("logo.avi",1,0);
  }

  Original video resolution is 800*600 with MPEG 3 Audio. Game resolution 800*600, 32 bit. AGS version 2.72 beta 4.

  is it because of resolution of video ? 800*600 .avi is too big for AGS ?

I would say performance reasons may well be the case of that.

I remember, I had the same problem when tried to play some divx video in the media player on my Celeron300A at 375mHz.

What if you play it in the Windows media player (but make sure to run it at 800x600x32bit desktop resolution to make test consistent) ?

Also, try running your game at reduced resolution (400x300) / colour depth (16bit). See game setup to change these settings. Does it work any better then?

in Media player, there is no delay of frames. As you said, i reduced the game resolution to 400*300 and video runned faster.  You are right. it played slower because of performance reasons.  Thanks Scorpiorus.
