Subhash already found out that a DV codec is missing and installed Panasonic DV codec - so far so good...

@Subhash

I'd recommend another DV codec - I can't see your picture as it is not approved by now and I don't know what you mean by saying 'static' - but as I said, try another DV codec. I'd recommend Cedocida DV Codec by A. Dittrich. It is free and open source and supports PAL and NTSC and a variety of in- and output formats...

please un-install your Panasonic DV codec and install Cedocida and report back...

windows does offer a Microsoft DV codec out of the box - that's the one used by WMP... and that makes me curious why avisynth wasn't able to decode your DV file... hmm, probably because Microsoft's DV codec isn't registered as VFW
