I posted this problem in the avisynth forum so I apologize for the second post, but I'm not so sure that it is an avisynth problem. Here goes, I'm capturing from digital satellite NTSC in VirtualDub with Win2k. I capture to avi in Huffyuv and the file is about 20gb. When I load the 20gb file in Virtualdub, I can seek all the way through the file without a problem, but when I load it into aviutl or use avisynth (for GreedyHMA) the frames stop about 4 minutes into the file. With AviUtl, it just goes to black, and with avisynth it freezes at one frame. Anyone have any ideas as to what this is? I liked using aviutl to crop commercials and strip the wav file, but I'm fairly new to the capturing process - any suggestions as to how I should proceed or what I should try? Thanks for any help, Cels

Still frustrated - I tried to do new captures, but the same thing happens every time. At about 6:30 minutes, the frames stop and freeze on one frame - pretty much the same time. I am capturing with an AIW Radeon, but I reinstalled the drivers and installed Virtualdub 1.4.8 - I just don't know what the problem could be. Can anyone help, please? Thanks,

The video stops on a certain frame for all programs? Is there a certain type of video (e.g. static) that goes the video to stop? What file system is your drive using? What audio settings are you using?

Perhaps you could try using Avisynth's DeleteFrame() to remove the problem frame. (You can follow it by DuplicateFrame() if you don't want the audio synch to be off by a frame.)

I tried everything I could think of, in the end just reformatting the drive fixed it. It must have been a setting somewhere. If I run into the problem again, I will try deleting that frame - although it happened with every capture I did, just at different points. Thanks for your suggestions, Cels
