Ligos LSX 3.5 help

[cyana]

I tried to covert a 30 min AVI file that I capture with Adobe premier with LSX 3.5 and get an error saying "could not read frame 8460 from AVI file" I tried it on three different machines and get the same error. I am stuck!! Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any tricks.

I've encountered the same problem sometimes when encoding directly with the stand-alone version. Solved the problem by frameserving (with Avisynth) from P6 to LSX. The encoding time will increase (slightly) but as far as I have seen there is no difference in quality. To framserve to LSX you need a patch that (I think) can be found at the Avisynth home page.

Is there a guide to do this - and can it only be done from Premiere 6 - how about VideoStudio??

It's probaably due to the 2GB limit for AVI file on FAT format. I've got the same problem. I save my avi as segmented avi (in VirtualDub) with limit 2 GB, and after that I use Avisynth .
Name syntax for avi file :
myavi.01.avi
myavi.02.avi
myavi.nn.avi

syntax for Avisynth :
clip=SegmentedAVISource("myavi.avi&quot
and save as myavi.avs in the same directory as *.avi files.
Use patched LSX3.5 and import myavi.avs and ENCODE

adam: of course there is a avisynt premiere frameserve guide

but you can also use ivonoavak method...a bit easier.
