x264 Encode choppy after 2nd EVO - help!

[shlap]

I'm hoping someone has run into this and knows the solution.

1. I Join FEATURE_1.EVO and FEATURE_2.EVO in EVODemux
2. I run "eac3to FEATURE_1.EVO+FEATURE_2.EVO audio.ac3 -libav" to get the AC3 track.
3. I Create GraphEdit file using Haali MS--> WMVideo Decoder DMO
4. Create an 1 AVISynth script which points to the grf file I created.
5. Run through x264 to create MKV.
6. Mux the AC3 and the MKV with MKVMerge.

My issue is that the MKV file looks and sounds great until it gets to the spot where the two EVO files joined, then it gets choppy and the sound goes out of sync. If I play the source (rebuilt/joined) EVO file directly it plays fine. Also if I create an AVISynth script to play the grf w/ my AC3 track, it plays fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Asked a different way, how does everyone here combine EVO files before running them through x264?

Thanks

With eac3to. Then the process you went through with graphedit is unnecessary since you can have eac3to mux the joined files to .mkv and you can then just load it in avisynth via DirectShowSource. I would be surprised if anyone still uses EVODemux since eac3to does such a better job.

P.S. This isn't really an AVC question and probably shouldn't be in this forum.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll give that a try. I wasn't sure if it was an issue with the way I was joining EVO's or an issue with x264 since my rebuilt evo seemed to play fine. Thanks again.
