Input-output playback issue
 

So tonight I reinstalled my Windows XP SP2 and VirtualDub 1.9.11..

I have everything set up as I normally do (well apparently not). I can capture to .avi and save.

But when I go to open the video file I'm having trouble with the input playback and output playback... they just sit there and the top bar says "dub in progress". What setting do I not have right? Normally these playback smoothly.

Thanks! :smack:

So I've been doing some digging. I went into the "Options" setting of VD and UNchecked the 'Sync to audio' and now I can preview my input/output playback. Does this make sense to anyone else or am I making a mistake turning that off?

I don't seem to be having audio issues and I'm getting zero dropped frames.

If anything I could just not "play" the input/output of my AVI's before rendering, I can just scrub through.


I pulled this from the VD manual:

"The Sync to audio option also affects preview by changing the way that VirtualDub synchronizes audio and video playback; it should normally be left on, but if there are problems with audio timing that prevent synchronized playback from occurring, disabling this option may allow preview to proceed. Like the option to drop frames, this option too only pertains to previewing and does not affect renders to disk. "
