If I have a divx movie with many many bad frames and I want to delete the bad frames using KingJohn´s guide,and not the one witch method is scanning for bad frames and save out a new copyusing direct stream but the one with deleting the bad frames.
The guide is here:http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=135552
Imagine that my movie have much bad frames so I must delete them and lost like 10 seconds of the movie,but I want to add subtitles to the movie,how do I do then when the movie is missing 10 seconds in example middle of the movie?

Do you want miracles
You have a problem, the only way would be to replace those bad frames with some good ones. You would need to make some small movie files exactly the same length as the bad frames, then replace the bad frames with the good ones.
Save out up to the first bad frame, then append with your small movie, then append more of the movie, then append with another small movie.
The small movies would need to be exactly the same type, and just black frames. are exactly the right length -
If I just first delete all the bad frames and then lose like 10 seconds of it and save it as a new AVI the movie is right then but if I also want to add a subtitle to it I´m gonna get problem with the subtitles not gonna sync right.
KingJon you are good at guides so could you please make one guide with pictures like your other guides and write what I and maybe other people should do to fix the problem??? -
I've had a problem similar to this before. A movie I wanted to subtitle had about 30 seconds worth of bad frames right in the middle, but I was still able to keep my subscript in sync. What I did was
ascii art illustration:
|----good frames pt 1
(A)----|----bad frames----|----good frames pt 2 (B)----|
1.) Open virtualdub and load up the movie.
2.) Add the subtitle filter
3.) Use save segment to export the first half (A) of the movie up to the bad frame.
4.) Skip past the bad frames, select the first key frame after that and then export a second segment (B).
The subtitles will still be present in the bad frame area, so when you skip through the bad frames of the movie, you also skip right through the subtitles that are supposed to go along with the bad segment of the movie. If you have more than one bad frame area, then just keep on pulling out the segments of the good stuff and throwing away the bad stuff =) -
@#%#5 server timed out on me while posting and I lost the entire message that I had written out! Here's my *quick* rewrite of what I originally typed (which was better, but now I'm angry)
Segments - parts of an original movie that you save into seperate files. Using the example below, you have a full movie with ABC in it, you save segments A and C (which are good) and end up with two new files of A and C only. B is thrown away because it's bad.
|----A----|----B----|----C----|
A & C are good parts of the movie
B is the part of the movie with bad frames
1.) Open virtualdub and load your movie
2.) Load the subtitle filter
3.) Set Directstream copy for your audio. For video, select full processing, and then configure your video compression however you want
To save/Segment part A:
1.) Since part A is at the beginning of the movie, all you have to do is click on the black arrow that is pointing left. This will mark the start of what you will be segmenting.
2.) Move the slider to the frame before B (the bad frames).
3.) Push the black arrow pointing right.
4.) You will notice that in the place where the slider is, a blue "rectangle" will appear showing you the segment you just created.
5.) File -> Save segmented AVI
Saving/Segmenting Part C:
1.) Move your slider to where C is (the first frame after the bad stuff)
2.) Click on the gray arrow pointing to the right that has a key underneath it.
3.) Click on the black arrow that points left to mark where your new segment is.
4.) Move the slider to the end of the movie.
5.) Click on the black arrow pointing right to end your new segment.
6.) File -> Save segmented AVI
You should now have two new movie files with A and C in each of them. B is not saved because it contains the bad frames. -
Thanx DigiToast for helping me.
I have come to the part when saving the bad "C" part.
When I try to mark the frame after the bad one and click on the right arrow with the key under it,then it alwayz jump forward dome frames.
Example I choose in Virtual Dub<edit<go to and then jump to frame 48000.When I then click on the right arrow with the key under it jumps to frame 48141.Is this normal?Does this not mean that I´m gonna lose 141 good frames too?
Thanx for the replies. -
The jumping forward is normal. What's happening is that you're skipping to the next "key" frame which is basically a full picture instead of a partial picture. (Key frames are full pictures with all the data, and then non-keys are frames containing only pixels that have moved since the last key frame). You can try to save your segment without starting at a key frame, but this usually results in problems that are unfixable. The best thing to do is to just lose the 141 good frames in order to avoid any possible problems. It's the safest thing to do, and doing this is highly recommended.
