  1. When adding or dropping frames with whatever function, such as Trim, I recall the audio being unaffected, is there any way for the audio to correspond to the edits made with Avisynth?

    Trim affects audio, if you have audio loaded in the script. Other functions might not, but you have to be specific as to which you are referring to

    e.g

    Code:
    vid = mpeg2source()
    aud = nicac3source()
    audiodub(vid,aud)
    trim()

    As pdr says, Trim() does affect the audio.
    So does Loop().

    But DeleteFrame(), DuplicateFrame() and FreezeFrame() leave audio unchanged.

  4. AviSynth's various Fade filters also affect audio.

    If audio doesn't stay in sync, you probably have VBR audio in the video file.

    Use EnsureVBRMP3sync() and that will force Avisynth to seek audio from the beginning of the file, rather than calculating the time, which it does incorrectly with VBR audio.
    This makes it slower to play if you are jumping around in VirtualDub, but it will be perfectly in sync.

    Also use ++ (aligned splice) rather than + (unaligned) to join trims.

    E.g., this worked fine for me:
    Code:
    AVISource("S2_3.avi")
    EnsureVBRMP3Sync()
    AmplifydB(0.75) 
    LanczosResize(704,576).AddBorders(8,0,8,0)
    BlankClip(last,75)++Trim(1382,86802) ++Trim(87654,0)
    Another way is to use FFMPEGSource2. This creates an index of the file so it knows exactly when each sample is.
    So you can skip through the file and it plays in sync without delay.
    Like this:
    Code:
    FFmpegSource2("S2_3.avi",atrack=-1,fpsnum=-1,fpsden=1)
    AmplifydB(0.75) 
    LanczosResize(704,576).AddBorders(8,0,8,0)
    BlankClip(last,75)++Trim(1382,86802) ++Trim(87654,0)

  6. Specifically, I need a duplicate frame remover (both MultiDecimate and Dedup failed) to also remove audio when removing frames.

    I thought this was a global thing in Avisynth, why does one function affect audio while another doesn't?

  7. It doesn't make sense for some functions to affect audio

    For example, something like dedup is exporting VFR timecodes, so video speeds up in sections that has removed frames. Audio is supposed to be unchanged

    If you have some function that removes duplicates and audio, think of the case where you have some frame removed every say, 30 frames. There will be an audio "blip" every time a frame is removed. Think of how you would remove a single audio sample equivalent to 1 video frame duration in an audio editor - it's impossible without a "blip"

  8. Videos shot from my old camera (which I still use) sometimes lag and there is no sound during the lags, so it gets really choppy. It takes forever to remove the duplicate frames by hand.

    The blips you speak of are easily remedied with click removal.

  9. Not sure what you're doing this for, but have you considered using filldrops() or related functions? Instead of removing, they use mvtools to synthesize a replacement "inbetween" frame where the duplicates are detected. Audio is unaltered of course

  10. Not sure what I'm doing it for? K listen, the camera lags and a single frame becomes up to 50 like you'd see on a webcam with a dial-up connection. I'm not familiar with filldrops but it wouldn't remedy the audio.

    Well, if the audio is going out of sync because of duplicate video frames, look at
    http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/External_filters#Duplicate_Frame_Detectors
    You can use "Dup" to detect duplicates, (maybe its log can help to make a script) or try dedup to remove them automatically.
