Breaking and reassembling files...

[swiego]

I have an .avi that's frameserved within avisynth (some processing done) to virtualdub, where I apply yet more filters, and save to another avi. Unfortunately I'm finding that with this combination of filters and tweaks, virtualdub crashes after about 2,000 frames pretty consistently. I've been trying ot track down the cause & at this point suspect that it's just something about my PC.

Is there a way for me to automatically break my single hours-long huffyuv .avi file into say 1 minute chunks that can be individually run through avisynth/virtualdub, then reassembled? How might I go about doing this automatically? Or am I asking too much?

Better to find the cause of the crash. Remove all the filters and start adding them back one at a time.

Thanks! It's one of the MSU filters and I don't think it's a bug b/c it only happens on one PC. (I tried my work PC as well as my laptop and both work fine, however both are pretty slow vs. my home PC.) I thought breaking and reassembling might be a quick and dirty way to deal with this however I can't find an automated means of doing so. I may have to try to do it in avisynth alone.

Use VirtualDub (Set BOTH "Video" and "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copy") to "Save as segmented .AVI"...
