Well it is a dedicated video partition formatted as vfat which was nearly
empty as I recorded the AVIs. The interesting thing is that the same AVI (I
didn't move it on the partition) played without problems under Win98 (with
the MS decompressor). So I think it's either a problem with the IDE-Driver
for the Irongate chipset under w2k or a DVSoft problem or whatever else.

But moving a windows recorded type-2 AVI to the vfat partition the AVI can
be played back without any problems under w2k. Moving the original dvgrab
AVIs to a ntfs partition the type-1 files plays without problems but the
type-2 frame still looses some frames. But this meight be caused by the
wrong sound settings in the header of the dvgrab-0.81 AVIs. I'll test it again
with dvgrab-0.82 this weekend.
