Can i automate deleting of dropped frames in VirtualDub?

[soulfunkyman]

Is that impossible? I need that, because i have a funny capture driver, that drops 50% of the frames, but without any audio sync problems (by 50 fps captures only 25 fps, by 25 fps only 16 fps and so...). I will delete all dropped files (and only these!) to get a 25 fps Videostream without dropped (dublicated) files.

Hmm... i found only a commercial program that can do that: DynaPel's MotionPerfect. It costs about 50 EUR. It seems, that it makes a good work; but is no freeware here, that can do the same? I wonder (???).

how can u delete dropped frames?

Dropped means they weren't recorded so they don't exist.

Do u mean replace droped frames?

i think u have a prob if ur dropping half of ur capture.

Turn on DMA, defrag ur HDD?

How do u delete dropped frames?

If you press the key "Delete", you can delete the selected key frames or the dropped frames in VirtualDub. The dropped frames are not really existing, but the information about the dropped frame is in the file stored! But normally, when you delete only the (information about the) dropped frames, you get a time lapse movie; the sound become asynchronous. Therefore you need a longer workaround to solve this problem - but i think, it's possible.

However i buyed now the MotionPerfect program, to solve my problems. It's good fore SOME problems with dropped frames, but it makes in some scenes in the movie itself problems (in scenes with lines or fast motions you will get very funny effects like morphing), and is VERY slow.
