Serious problem with DviX and AC3 Codecs

I actually started with Xvid, and when the errors started happening, I came
on this website and read I should have Dvix. I'll keep the FFDSHOW in mind,
but I think I found the problem. I timed how long it took from the start of
the playback until the error happened, and discovered it was congruent with
my timed screen saver. I think there might be a conflict between the codecs
and the screen savers. I'm not sure, though, but I'll be sure to let you
know if it fixed the error. I turned off my screen saver and was able to go
an full half hour with no errors, and I'm going to try letting an hour long
program go in QuickPlay and see what happens.
