bad frames

[k b]

hi

Is there another program that scans for bad frames other than v-dub?
just watched a film that had been scanned in v-dub mp freeze, which said there was 0 bad frames, but it turned out there were!

many thanks

VirtualDub is the best software around that removes bad frames, you're gonna hear this from everyone else as well.
I've used that for very long time and never thought about any other program. The trick is to scan and remove the frames properly, and also make sure you always have the latest version installed.

here is a guide that will probably help you, but make sure you follow it carefully.

Hi,

Divfix will also remove bad frames from avis.

Cheers,

I have a DivX video which is(was) encoded with the DivX 3 Low-Motion codec. It has VBR MP3 audio and has a framerate of 23.976fps.
The video plays perfectly with all my media players.

I want to convert it to a PAL VCD for a friend - it'll be played on a PSX with a VCD add-on module which i'm sure won't play an NTSC VCD.

All attempts to convert it to PAL VCD (@25fps) have resulted in the video lagging behind the audio by half way through. Thinking the audio needed convertion i used BeSweet to convert it's playtime from 23.976 to 25fps. Still the audio was 2 to 3 seconds ahead of the video.

The DivX upon analysis revealed both audio and video flaws..

Some tools could only find ~28 mins of audio - however EOVideo extracted the complete VBR MP3 audio to WAV format.

VirtualDub scanned the entire video and found no errors, reported total frames of 145298 playtime of 1hr 41mins 0.14secs.

Premiere reports 74 dropped/empty frames and total frames of 145224 playtime of 1hr 40mins 59.03secs.

74 bad frames equals the 2 to 3 seconds video lagging behind the audio no doubt.

Being a newbie to Premiere i found no way to ensure that the reported bad frames were removed. I exported the video from Premiere and converted it to PAL VCD and still the video lags

After reading this thread i tried scanning the video again with VDub MP3 Freeze. It's just finished the scan and reports no bad frames.

DivFix failed to produce a new AVI with audio and video in sync.

Also tried frameserving from VirtualDub to TMPGEnc with the WAV audio used as source in TMPGEnc - still the 2 or 3 seconds of video lag.

I'm using the DivX 5.0.2 codec but have tried the original divx3.11alpha (with the version 5.0.2 codec removed) but still no success.

Any ideas...??
