Hi

I have an AVI and when i play it, at 1h10m, the picture goes all blocky & shuts divxplayer down.

I used divxrepair on it & it told me something about crash dump (or something).

The weird thing is that if (in divxplayer) I "jump" over the bit where it goes wrong(by manually moving the play cursor), it carries on playing fine, but if I try to play from 1h09m onwards, it freezes again.

I guess its a bad frame that messes it all up .... Is there a way I can get rid of the bad frame(s) and how do I do it?

I've got divxrepair, TMPGEnc dvd author, cinemacraft encoder, dvd2svcd, besweet, GSpot & VirtualDub ... will any of these help? How do I find out which frame starts the "corruption"?

Thanks in advance.

Ian

You can try avifixed to try and get rid of the corrupt frames.

Or you can load the AVI in VirtualDub and under the video menu select Scan video streams for errors. Maybe this will help.

Also have you tried playing the movie in other players? What happens with them?

I have tried VirtualDub, divxrepair & they both freeze at the same point, and crash.

If I play the AVI in the windows player it crashes at same point, as does divx player.

The weird thing is that if I get up to that "freeze/crash" point, its fine & if I manually move the "play" cursor past the freeze point, it carries on as normal. But if i try to play through the bad bit where it all goes wrong, it just crashes whatever program Im trying to use to play/repair/look at it.

Arghhh lol

I think I may know what the problem is but not an answer, but first you'll have to tell me which codec was used to encode the movie.

You can find out by running the movie through GSPOT.

Hi .....

I think I have solved it - I got something called divfix & basically deleted one either side of a bad frame & then divxrepaired it .... Crude I know, but it stopped the freezing/crashing & other than a couple of "jumps" its fine.

Thanks for all your help.

Glad to hear it.

I guess judging by how you fixed the movie, my theory was wrong.
