I'm having the same problem I've always had.
I'm trying to combine a few videos into one. I choose the first, append the rest, select direct stream copy and save as .AVI.
Sometimes, this works fine.
Today, it's not working at all.
I've tried it about two dozen times, because usually it ends up working eventually.
No matter what I've tried, at some point the counter stops and it gets stuck on a certain frame.
Could be any frame.. 38, 178, 254, 482, etc. The highest I've gotten was 803.
So, I have to ask - why is this piece of software so broken, and.. is there any other program I use to append videos?
Thanks. |

Works fine for everyone else More likely to be a problem with the video you have or your hardware I assume you've checked your windows event logs for any error messages
possible reasons could be
a damaged video file a dodgy codec bad sectors on your hard drive
for direct stream copying, virtualdub just reads the file off disk frame by frame and writes it out again there isn't really anything to go wrong from virtualdub's end as long as it can read and write to a drive ok, and the files ok

| QUOTE | | a damaged video file |
The video files is a Lagarith encode done by VideoMach. I've used the exact same encoding technique over a dozen times with no issues.
I've also re-encoded the video files and VirtualDub still gets stuck.
Lagarith is not dodgy.

Lagarith's fine, I use it 24/7 here (some old versions had a few bugs though)
Apart from that, all I can say is that if virtualdub was broken in such a basic way as you describe, complaints would fill the board They don't though, so it would suggest an issue at your end
Try AviDemux and see if that works for you? http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/
