small question regarding no. of frames

[cofferscuffs]

is there a way to force avs to believe theres x amount of frames in a file so it doesnt actually read the input file for the number of frames?

No I don't think so. Why do you need that for ? You can always use Trim for selecting the frames you need.

well it needs to be able to framserv frames that wont be there on when the file is read.. but will be later. any suggestions

Don't know if it will help but a couple times I've gotten away with something like the following when I had DirectShowSource that reported mildly inaccurate frames:


video=DirectShowSource("c:\VCR\buffy3#0.mpg",fps=29.97)
blanks=blankclip(video,300)
trim(video+blanks,0,video.framecount+100)

Not sure what it would do for your situation but maybe something similar might help.
