Help! Looking for a way to add a frame counter to video

[mindspin]

I'm looking for a way to add a frame counter to an avi, mpeg, mov, whatever. I can convert to any format if I can just find a program or utility to do it. We're talking about well over 1000 frames here so doing it in Pshop as a script will just take forever. Any help would be appreciated!

AviSynth - ShowFrameNumber() or ShowSMPTE()
There's also a VirtualDub filter that will do it, but I can't remember at the moment what it's called.

Edit: I found it. AddFrameNumber/AddTimeStamp from Thomas Hargrove.

Looks like this might be one of the ones for VirtualDub. I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

There is an AVISynth plugin that I use called "FRAMENUMBER.DLL" that gives a single, small, frame number at either the lower right or left (user selectable). It is also very fast. The old SHOWFRAMENUMBER() used to be very slow, since it had to generate the numbers as text, and also put them quite liberally on each frame, like:
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
3
3
3
3
3
3
3
3

etc. The one that I use only puts one on each page.
