AVI file freezing AVSPMOD and AVSMETER

[JoeSchmo999]

I only have to put AVISource("myfile") in AVSPMOD or AVSMETER and they crash. This is the type of AVI file I will be getting from a film transfer house except at 16fps for 8mm film. I am able to open the file in Vdub, Premiere Pro and other programs, VLC does not play it correctly maybe it's one frame at a time. I uploaded a small clip but I don't know where it went. I get no error messages and don't know how to find out the problem. I was hoping to use these file types as I have been told they are very lossless. If that is incorrect please let me know before I summit my film. If I'm missing a codec I don't know how to find it either. I've tried a bunch. Thank for all of your time.

AVISource requires a VFW decoder for v210, such as AJA, Blackmagic, drastic codecs .


You can use lsmash or ffms2 instead .This is what I would use, because on Windows, some of those codecs return RGB converted

FFVideoSource("C:\Users\ME\Desktop\testvideofiles\ Sample1.avi")

or

LWLibavVideoSource("C:\Users\ME\Desktop\testvideof iles\Sample1.avi")

LAV filters has a directshow filter for it, then instead of Avisource("myfile")
you can use directshowsource("myfile"), or DSS2("myfile") (supposed to have better frame accuracy than directshowsource)

For DSS2 you need avss_26.dll in your Avisynth 32 bit plugin library

For some reason this Lsmash version is returning some duplicate frames and weird issues when seeking. This Lsmash branch is usually very reliable, and v210 is just uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2 - it's pretty standard.

FFMS2 decodes it correctly, but has a duplicate at the beginning and near the end. I believe they are there in the file, because vdub2, other programs show them as well

There should be no duplicates in a film scan, what was process used?


EDIT: Threads=1 seems to help the seeking for lsmash

Installed the LAV filters and got it to work with the
LWLibavVideoSource("C:\Users\ME\Desktop\testvideof iles\Sample1.avi")
and
FFVideoSource("C:\Users\ME\Desktop\testvideofiles\ Sample1.avi")
still won't work with
AVISource("C:\Users\ME\Desktop\testvideofiles\ Sample1.avi")

Not sure what process they use, Cinepost is the company. Now I'll check on the rest of video restoration plugins and see how well I can make that work. This is all a very steep learning curve. Thanks for the help. Ill check back in when I have my next one hundred problems.
