Jumpy video problems

[dimtim]

Hey uh I don't really know how to describe whats happening, but I have two videos and I am combining them. Whenever each of the videos open the first few frames are really laggy, or jumpy, and then it smooths out to what it should be. I am editing with avisynth and encoding with TMPG. Here is my avisynth code if that helps.

espn = Directshowsource("c:/myvideos/espn/espn1trim.mpg")
espn1 = Directshowsource("c:/myvideos/espn/espn2trim.mpg")
black = BlankClip(espn, length=60, color=$000000)
Alignedsplice(black,espn,black,espn1,black)

See whenever espn loads the first few frames are really jumpy and then it smooths out. The same thing happens when espn1 loads. Does anybody know how to correct this or what the problem may be?

Does this happen when the script is played or are you rendering an output file and that file plays that way? You cannot expect an Avisynth script to play smoothly in real time, especially when it reads files, uses DirectShow, etc.

It happens after I have already rendered it. I open it in TMPG and encoded it. I honestly think that it might be a TMPG problem, because when I preview it it looks fine.

I agree that it sounds like a TMPGE problem. What happens if you encode to DivX, just out of curiosity? If you want I can move this thread to the TMPGE forum.
