Video Glitch

[Peter]

I have a movie, that when viewed on TV or Widows Media
Player 9, has a video glitch of approx. 1 frame.
(Literally the blink of an eye.) When I bring the file
into MM2 to edit frame-by-frame, the glitch doesn't
appear. I assume this is because of the difference in
frame rates. (As I understand it, 30fps for WMP9 vs.
15fps. for MM2) I thought the glitch occurred during a
split between two clips (one running at half-speed) so,
taking the shotgun approach, I deleted a couple frames on
either side of the split. It didn't work. The glitch is
still visible when viewed with WMP9 and INvisible on the
MM2 Timeline. Any Ideas?

MM1 uses 30 fps for project work. Maybe check it there....

Or use TMPGEnc to save each of the frames in the area of the glitch as a
still image.... and study those.

It could be a codec issue if the frame is being rendered on the fly during
playback. What kind of source file is it and where is it from?

I don't really feel comfortable trying to revert to MM1.
I may try the TMPGEnc route; just to see what the image
is. I guess I'll just re-edit from the source file. (a
clean DV-AVI from a Sony TRV-22.)
BTW, I've learned a lot from your book.
