How to stop: Adobe Premiere Stuttering?

[yodnnee]

Hey,

I recently imported several .mkv files to Adobe Premiere using AVIsynth, Haali Splitter and FFDshow. However when played the video runs at an accelerated rate, and stutters, the audio however is fine. The files are all NTSC.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? I'm guessing it's an import issue with the frame rate, but I'm unsure which settings of what programme are causing this to occur.

Thanks

What is your script? Does it work when you play in MPC?

mkv is just a container. What video format does it contain? use mediainfo

Do you have a proper decoder for that?

My script is:
DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Videos\Compmov.mkv")
saved as "all files" with it's extension changed to ".avs"

The file does play with MPC when selected directly, but not when you select the .avs script text file. It instead only plays the audio and comes up with an error that reads:
"Media Player Classic could not render some of the pins in the graph, you may not have the needed codecs or filters installed on the system.
The following pin(s) failed to find a connectable filter:...(file location)
It then displays the files specs.

Mediainfo said the .mkv contained format AVC Video, Coded ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC. I've downloaded the Mediainfo's sugested codec pack for the file (CCCP) and FFDshow 6 Beta, but the result is the same.



Any Ideas?? I take it the "connectable filters" are part of the problem?
Thanks again.

I've since altered me script to:
DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Videos\Compmov.mkv", fps=29.970, convertfps=true)

and tried using FFDshow>makeAVIS to make an of the .avi of the .avs script, which plays with the audio and video in sync and without stuttering in both MPC player and even Windows Media Player.

HOWEVER, when this .avi is imported into Adobe Premiere as an asset, it is even more out of sync, so much so that the video finishes in just over 3 minutes, where as the audio continues the full 20ish.

HELP!

Premiere is not optimized as a media player. Don't worry about it unless the output has problems.

In addition to having poorly optimized decoder within Premiere, DirectShowSource isn't necessarily frame accurate, and a last resort for importing into an editor which requires frame accuracy to edit. If your source is progressive, use DGAVCIndex instead for your .avs script

Also, use the Premiere .avs import plugin instead of makeavis

What is the source of these mkv's? 29.97 fps is a non standard rate for film & movies.
