m2v file stops to display frames during playing

[Fendervr]

Hi all, this is my first post and hope to have choose the right place, please advise me if something is not correct.
I try to post this query after a search on the web without results.

I captured a movie from my Canon MV 890 camcorder, with WinDV. I have already made this w/o problem and also what I will describe after goes well in other cases. The movie is about 38 minutes long. The file is DV Type 2 AVI. I analyzed it with GSpot and obtaining this message : Note: 3.01 GB unneeded bytes at end of file. I searched on the web for this message, too, but I wasn't able to understand how to solve this first issue and why it appears.

However my greater problem is that I tried to encode my movie in a .m2v file with Quenc. This is the Avisynt file I used (quite simple):

AVIFileSource("originale.avi")
Subtitle("17/12/06 - Tour 2006",x=-1,y=-1,last_frame=250,font="Comic Sans MS",size=64,text_color=$c5af5c,halo_color=$0080f f)
FadeIn(200)
FadeOut(200)
ConvertToYV12()

The problem is that I obtain a file that seems without problems, but playing it in WMP it play correctly for about 10 minutes, after that WMP continues to play (the counter goes on), but the image displayed is always the same frame as it would be a still frame.
Also moving the playhead position in Virtualdubmod I have the same behaviour. When I reach that frame the picture remain there to the end of the file.

Any Idea? Could this be related to the GSPOT message? where could be my mistake? Can I try something different?

Sorry for the mutiple questions and many thanks for your help in advance.

Load the avisynth script into vdub and step through that first.
if it's ok use another encoder.

I read this topic and I think you are right. I noticed that all my AVI captured from my camcorder with a length more than 7-8 GB have that message in GSpot. This however doesn't impact the compression as STEGRE wrote.

Unfortunately it wasn't ok and the problem still existed.

Anyway I was lucky and even if I don't understand exacltly why, I tried some change in my AVS scripts and when I substituted AVIFileSource("originale.avi") with DirectShowSource("originale.avi",25) all went well. My video is now correct and I was able to produce a DVD using Belight, Quenc and GUI for DVDauthor.

So I solved my problem, my mistake was probably caused by a lack of knowledge in videos and AVS scripts.

Thanks for your help.
I hope that this post is useful for other, too.
