This is an error which arises when capturing for a long time (around 8hrs and more)

Phaeron explained it to me a bit here
http://virtualdub.everwicked.com/index.php...434990641a90148

And Im hoping that posting about it here might get others to say if they have come across the problem, if they have managed to fix it, if others would like it solved in a future version too.

I hope it isnt tooo hard to fix and makes it into a version soon.

Thanks!!

Hopefully in a not-so-far future we will be able to capture into matroska container format instead of AVI, maybe even as a contemporary solution to create an AVI from it later, which has a few pretty neat functions to write huge files ( up to several terabytes ) and/or to find out if there are data errors in the file by using implemented EDC elements ....

Support matroska as container and Gstreamer as the only truely open, x-platform multimedia platform ....

sounds a bit beyond my comfort zone...but if it works Im all for it...and I dont really need to work with the captured file in anything other than virtualdub (except TMPGenc later if I want to make VCDs of the captured video.)

But how far away is this new container format?? Surely the AVI index problem is easier to fix and a solution should be soonish??

There is already a version of VirtualDubMod that can write Matroska files, but the preview on them does not yet play the audio. The files will play fine however in mplayer.

Beta testing won't start until after a working directshow filter has been created, at which point the spec should be frozen(no changes). Hopefully, once the specs are frozen and we have a tried and true libmatroska, Avery will add Matroska read/write support to VirtualDub. Hopefully. If that happens, then AVI's usefulness will quickly begin to fade. Especially once a plugin for AVISynth is developed, to support any AVI programs whose development has ceased.

Here's hopin! smile.gif

Please take anything I say with many many grains of salt. I can't tell the difference between my AVI and a hole in the ground.
