Avisynth problem. Help....

[abeelandig]

I am using Avisynth 2.5 to convert a 1.28 MB, 10 second .wmv video clip to div3x .avi.
I open up the file in Virtualdubmod using the following Avisynth script script:
DirectShowSource("C:\1.wmv", fps=29).
I can see the video being processed correctly in the Virtualdub window However, when the 10 second mark is reached, it keeps on processing and eventually produces a 16 MB video that is corrupt and won't play back.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

If you just select the 10 second part then? select start and end in virtualdub.

Hi,
The file is only 10 seconds long, so I didn't think I needed to select the beginning and end since I'm processing the whole movie.
But I tried selecting the beginning and end as you suggested and the problem is still there.
With some .wmv movies, I get this problem, others not. Don't know what's causing this?....

have you selected audio compression?

you can also try use tmpgenc and convert to divx, open the wmv(if it doesn't work change the directshow priority) and then select file->output as->video and choose divx.

Have you selected Audio Compression?

In Virtualdubmod, from the Menu Bar, I go Streams>Stream List>Add, but there are no files to add, so I can't add any.

Just tried using TMPGEnc to convert .wmv->.avi (div3x). Seems to work fine.

Ignore -I missed where you said the whole clip was 10 seconds.
Do you have a line in your avs file that says
trim(#starting frame no,#ending frame number)?

[abeelandig]

This is the script I'm using at present:
DirectShowSource("C:\1.wmv", fps=29)
Could you write out the full script I need with the 'trim' part in it?
Thanks

For the Trim command:
Add the line: Trim(1st frame number to keep,last frame number to keep)
right after the line with your Directshowsource command
Frame number 1 in Virtual Dub =frame 0 in Avisynth
so your second line would be somethimg like:
Trim(20,317)
