Open XDCAM (in mov wrapper) in AVISynth

[armadillo22]

Hey guys

I've tried to open an XDCAM file (.mov wrapper) within AVISynth but keep getting the following error:

FFVideosource: Frame accurate seeking is not possible in this file.

My current workflow is as follows:

1) Index the XDCAM mov file by running ffmsindex.
2) With the .ffindex file now created I call the mov file within AVISynth using the following script:

V1=FFVideoSource("my files location")
A1=FFAudioSource("my files location")
F1=AudioDub(V1,A1)
return F1

When I do this it loads the preview fine and I can scrub through the file.

However when I load it into my encoder (ProCoder3) it loads the script fine (all the properties such as frame rate, size and duration are picked up correctly) but then I hit encode and it creates a file where the first frame of video is what I expect and then it switches to an error message that says "FFVideoSource: Frame accurate seeking is not possible in this file."

I've tried opening the file in virtualdub and also run it through ffmbc but still...same results.

Now I know XDCAM isn't explicitly supported but I've had success decoding IMX50 in a mov wrapper so was wondering if its simply a case "XDCAM NOT SUPPORTED" or if there might be something else I'm missing.

Cheers for the assistance

Do you use the latest version of ffms2? Get it here if you have not and test it.
