Well I've been video editing for a long time now, (I'm just now putting together my first AMV) and I just thought I'd ask a quick question. I cut out my clips (in VDUB) using HuffyUV lossless compression and the video is routed via avisynth. The d2v files I made out of DVD2AVI are 24 fps (actually a few thousandths of a frame less per second, so 23.936 or something) because I set one of the video options to "Forced Film." (Forced Film has had a much higher success ratio than using 30 fps, at least for me anyway).
From what I have been reading in the Video forum, this is a very popular method and is recommended by the best of em (I recommend it too). All that being said, I have noticed that these clips I have created, while looking GREAT, seem to skip a lot. It seems like I'm missing more than just every 6th frame. I checked and frame decimation is off. I will continue to experiment with AVIsynth and vdub attempting to slightly increase my clips smoothness. If anyone can suggest a filter that helps, etc. please do.
