I have installed ffdshow 2005-11-03 and am using VirtualDub 1.6.11 and VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.2.

I am running into some inconsistencies when I try and scan avi's for errors. I'll start off and scan a file in VirtualDub and it will show no errors. I then scan that same file in VirtualDubMod and it will find errors. Both are set to "Report all errors."

I'll then take a file I know is corrupted and scan it in both and it'll show no errors in either program.

I've deleted and re-downloaded both VirtualDub's and have used the versions before the ones I am currently using and still am getting the same results. This is starting to cause me some problems because I've been burning files I thought were okay to DVD and then during playback having a couple frames go all blocky and stutter which throws off the audio track. Is there any other more reliable program for scanning avi files for errors? Or am I just doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.

Hi!This is starting to cause me some problems because I've been burning files I thought were okay to DVD and then during playback having a couple frames go all blocky and stutter which throws off the audio track.Have you played the files on your PC from your hard drive to see if the problem exists BEFORE burning?

The DVD playback problem you've described may also be attributable to poor quality media, burning at too high speed, player in need of cleaning, etc...

The problems exist on all the original files and occurs during playback on my computer. I use good media and burn at 4x speed so that's not the problem.

The reason I didn't notice these problems until after I burned them is because I don't watch them on my computer. I just burn them. Now that I'm finding problems I'm going back and scanning all my avi's before I burn them. This is where I'm having the problem. VirtualDub and VirtualDubMod give me inconsistent results or they show no errors whatsoever on a file I know there are errors.
