Hi,

I found something, VirtualDub Scripting Function:
// $script

declare framesAVS;
declare framerate;

VirtualDub.Open("d:\\tmp\\temp.avs", 0, 0);
framerate=VirtualDub.video.GetFrameRate(0);
framesAVS=VirtualDub.video.GetRange(0);
Sylia.dprint(framerate);
Sylia.dprint(framesAVS);
VirtualDub.Close();

// $endjob


With the special VirtualDub version it works as well with VOB input, tested = ok !
This way you could easily compare how many frames are missing by comparing the script output from opening a VOB with the AVS. You could even calculate the difference with the script !

Unfortunately the output gets printed to the debug output device whatever that is (stderr, I guess). I don't know how to redirect that to the standard output (stdout) to redirect into a file.

I emailed Donald regarding this...
