View Full Version : Automatically idenifying and deleting dropped frames

Hi.

I was wondering if there's any way to automatically delete dropped frames from a video that was catured off an analogue source. VDub recognizes those frames and marks them with [D], giving you the opportunity to delete them manually, however those frames are too many and I haven't found a way to delete them automatically, either using VDub or an avisynth script.

VDub handles the dropped frames by repeating the last non-dropped frame, so the output video has 2 consequent identical frames where a dropped frame used to be. So I was wondering if I can create a script that identifies two consequent identical frames and deletes the second one ?

I know that deleting the dropped frames may result in A/V desynchronization, however, AFAIK, hitting delete in VDub deletes both the video and the audio frame, so hopefully, there won't be any desynchronization at all.

The reason why I didn't post this in the avisynth section is that, if what I want can be done through VDub, I would also like to hear how to do it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
