odd field dropped by AVISource

[lex3]

Source: a PAL video captured to MJPEG 720x576. 28 min, 2,9 Gb.

When opened in VD looks OK (like usual interlaced footage)/
When opened thru AVISource looks like half of vertical resolution is lost.

Added SeparateFileds shows that the odd frames are the same as the even, so odd seems to be dropped...

Could anyone suggest a solution, please?

(small clip (300 frames) produces the same effect)

It's a bug in Morgan MJPEG :(

Use:

AviSource("file.avi", pixel_type="yuy2") or use DirectShowSource for now.

Thanks a lot. This works well.

Could someone please tell me what does this 'false' do in AviSource("e:\capture.avi", false) ?

Is it necessary?

the AVIsynth DOC says:AVISource(string filename[,...], bool "audio", string "pixel_type")

this false tells AVIsynth not to load the Audio of this AVI.
