while using either AVI MPEG ASF WMV Splitter or the TEMPEG merger-joiner tool, I will have the same problem, when trying to cut the video from an specific frame as previewed on the preview window, because it will show the wrong frame everytime, I want to start the cutting from Second 50, but I need to be exact with miliseconds, but I can't cuz Second 50 shows the 1:01Min, so I don't know where I am, I think is a problem with the video file but I'm not sure please advise. The cutting does the job right, in terms of what second it is saying, it will cut from, but it doens't adddress the correct frame so I can't tell what I'm starting to cut.

what sort of file is this? WMV-in-AVI?

well, anyway, this smacks of VFR to me - the frame-rate varies in the file, but the splitter/decoder doesn't tell the encoding app this, so you end up with a shorter video than directsho would have you believe.

this is just a guess... i need a little more info about your source. it could also be a telecine problem (the ratio of 37:50 is rather close to 24:30)
