frames acting weird/messed up

Lok1990 · Post by **Lok1990** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 4:33 am

Im using h.264 mkv files for my amv. since sony vegas does not support the mkv and h.264, i created an avs script and make fake avi using ffdshow. when i import the fake avi into sony vegas and it is acting weird, it seems that the frames are messed up. http://boxstr.com/files/326619_vxgcg/weird.avi

my footage is 640x480, 23.976 fps

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("D:\Anime\Azumanga Daioh\AzumangaDaiohepisode01.mkv")

besides that, my sony vegas keeps crashing when import the fake avi file, i heard that remove the subtitle using mkvtoolnix could solve the problem so i did so, but the sony vegas still crashed when i imported some fake avi.

Besides convert my footage to lagarith, are there any other solutions for these 2 problems?

[insert lecture on using downloaded footage here]

Now that we're done with that...

I don't recommend fake avi files. The results are usually pretty unpredictable. At least they have been for me. If you must, must, must use downloaded footage, at least convert the MKVs to lossless AVIs using the converter of your choice. Or at the least, try to clip from them if you can, if you don't have enough space, but by this point few people should be that lacking in the hard drive department.

plan your video out a lot more and clip only the scenes you need and disable the audio on said clips that might help...

*check my HD space* k i'll try to make wise use of my remaining 4gb space, to think positively, it might eat all my HD space but it provides smoother editing if i use lagarith XD

Thanks for the lecture and advice

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("D:\Anime\Azumanga Daioh\AzumangaDaiohepisode01.mkv",fps=23.976)

using that script might help stop the err.. stuttering?

remove everything from the mkv container except the video stream.

i think it might also be wise to include the setmemorymax() command when using fake avis

Instead of DirectShowSource, try FFmpegSource:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127037

It's frame-accurate, DirectShowSource isn't. I don't know if that'll cure the stuttering, but at the very least it's a better way of handling the video (provided the thing isn't VFR and you're trying to preserve audio sync).
