Annoying Keframes issue using VirtualDub

[deadp0et]

Hello,

I'm experiencing a very very annoying issue cutting videos with Virtualdub. The issue is: keyframes don't seem to "stay" fixed but "shift" or "dance around": for example: I cut at a specified keyframe, but when I go back the cutting point is not the one I thought! And when I save the video, cutting points are completely different. Editing a video this way is... virtually impossible!

This problem presents almost everytime I try to use VirtualDub (with long or short videos.)

My VirtualDub version is 1.10.4. As for decompressors, I have the latest K-lite pack installed. My OS is Win 7 64 bit.

Any hint on how to troubleshoot the problem?

There was a short discussion on the VirtualDub forum: it was explained but didn't seem to me that it was resolved.

Whatever VFW decoder you're using isn't frame accurate when decoding out-of-order frames (which codecs like h.264 use). Especially with open GOPs. Try using a different decoder. Switching to a program that uses DirectShow or its own built in decoder rather than VFW might help.

Can you recommend one to me?

AviDemux is very buggy but works pretty well with AVI file.

AviDemux 2.4 for me. It works, why update?
