Problem with ShowFrameNumber

[slk001]

I loaded the statement:

ShowFrameNumber()

into a script I was using to debug some sync issues I was having. The results of this addition were:

1) About 10 rows at the left hand side of the clip of the frame number.
2) The inability to play the clip in real time (actually, it slowed my system to a crawl - 1.8GHz P4).
3) The display would jump in random frame increments (ie, would play F#101, F#307, F#662, F#843, etc.).

My .AVS script was simply frameserving a .M2V file to WMP 6.4 (so I could see the frame numbers).

I was using version 2.0.1.

Is this normal behaviour for this function?

1) Default behaviour - guess it's because of some decombing/IVTC. Try showframenumber(true) - even weirder ;) This should probably be made different, so default behaviour is what you'd expect.

2) Text rendering is very slow - it has been optimized a bit in 2.04, but it's still not fast. A was able to frameserver a m2v into zoomplayer at 15fps om a Tbird 1200. Speed is not a high priority though in this filter.

3) If your player skips frames this will happend - load the file in vdub, and check the increments there.
