TMPGenc video Freeze

[ajrecs]

I have looked in this forum, and while I saw some questions like this, did not see it exactly... so, if I am asking a question already asked and answered, I apologize. Am trying to encode an avi file produced from my own camera's digital video with Studio DV into VCD using TMPGenc. Have used system before without problems. Now, with this one avi, the video freezes for about 30 seconds at a particular point (repeatedly) while audio keeps going. Then video restarts and keeps on trucking, in sync, like nothin' happened, through the end of the file. Thoughts? Am still using Beta 12a - would upgrading to latest version help? I can view the avi uninterupted with NO PROBLEMS.... Thanks for any and all help!

Try the info here = http://screw.wz.cz/avidef/AVIDeFreezer%20Tutorial.htm & then get the program here = http://www.mnsi.net/~jschlic1/ I kept getting a decimal error In TMPGEnc I thsi program fixed it right up. You will also need VirtualDub to help out = but itz pretty straight forward!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I downloaded the DeFreezer, but looking at the file with VirtualDub fails to show any bad frames. I re-encoded the avi original with the other suggestion, AVI2VCD, which encoded the file correctly, although the quality is a tad worse than TMPGenc. Now, I encoded another video with TMPGenc, and had the same problem. At about 4:40 into the video the video freezes for about a minute, while the audio continues correctly. It resyncs after the freeze. Can ANYBODY suggest a fix? I may have to use the AVI2VCD conversion, although I really am not happy with the result compared to TMPGenc.

Hi

I have always used a modified version of Vdub, it was downloaded in my early days of converting. Its called "vdub-mp3-freeze.exe" you load the AVI in as normal and tell it to scan for freeze frames, this then produces a log file which you can view to see the bad frames.

Delete the frames listed to the nearest keyframe, this has worked very well for me.
