To ART regarding green flickering frames with MPG files

I asked last night about transferring files to PE13 editor and having green frames flickering in play back in Editor. You requested more info:
I took original VHS tapes from 30+ yrs ago from Sony Camcorder. I ran them through Toshiba DVR620KU VHS to DVD recorder. These files were made into .VOB files and saved on hard drive.
I then used CyberLink video editor to trim files and then the program converted and saved them as MPG files to Hard Disk.
Now when I bring these Aspect 4:3 .MPG files into PE13 editor the picture settings are NTSC-Hard Drive, Flash Memory Camcorder-Standard 48kHz. Yet in play mode, the file flickers with green frames.
There are now two green frames for every picture frame. Therefore, the green flickering. I am not sure about picture setting change or where the green frames came from. There is no orange line nor letterbox to indicate
frame mismatch. Also, after rendering there appears to be less green but the film runs to fast and flickers just as bad.
Thanks for following up on this, I look for your reply.  David

David
Thanks for the follow up.
I will look for your prior thread and try to get it cross referenced for those following your issue. Please continue in this thread for now.
Do you still have the VOB available that went into CyberLink for trimming? If so, could you try to import the VOB into a new Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements Expert workspace's  Add Media/Files and Folder/, and then let us know if those VOBs as Timeline content displayed the same irregularities as the CyberLink edited files (presumed MPEG2.mpg)?
In Premiere Elements trimming, copies of the end frame can be made for "handle" purposes or trimmed frame used. I am just guessing at this point that CyberLink's trimming might have introduced a factor that is triggering the Premiere Elements event. Needs to be ruled in or out.
Please review and consider, and I will think about this some more.
Thanks.

  • QuickTime stutters only with .mpg files

    Only since I've updated to Mac OS X 10.5.2 that I've been experiencing this problem. I have a load of .mpg files recorded using my digital camera, as well as a bunch of files I've downloaded from the net. These used to play back perfectly fine and smooth in QuickTime, but now every few seconds there is a big stutter. The files aren't corrupt as every other media player plays them fine. Also, it is just .mpg files QuickTime is struggling with, any other supported format plays perfectly fine.
    The file codec is 'MPEG1 Muxed'.
    I've tried reinstalling QuickTime, the Leopard Graphics update and neither have provided me with any fixes.

    Why did you uninstall Perian? You need it!
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
    If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
    Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
    and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

  • Suddenly no audio with mpg files via QT 7.4.5 & no audio with wmv files

    Out of the blue, audio playback does not work with any mpg file saved to my hard drive using Quicktime. So, I downloaded the most recent update (7.4.5) and the same thing, no audio. It occurred at the same time when wmv files stopped producing audio on my wmv player. Not sure where the problem exists. I get audio if I open the same mpg using my VLC player...just not QT.
    Thanks!!!

    See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832 Mac OS X: No audio from certain multimedia content

  • Brand new final cut pro user having trouble with .mpg files

    Hi everybody,
    i am brand new to editing on my iMac and final cut pro, so i will apologize now for any questions that seem really dumb. i am trying to bring in some .mpg files into a project and only the video will come in, no audio...when i play the files in quicktime player by themselves, they play just fine. i tried to export the files to quicktime movie files via the quicktime player (i don't have quicktime pro) and then those files played the video but no audio...not sure what to do..please help.
    thanks,

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

  • Green flickering frames in my videos in Photoshop CC, anyone else have this problem?

    I am working on editing a video in Photoshop CC using the motion layout and I and every so often I get a green frame. I am doing everything the same as always has anyone else had this problem?

    any phone can bend. the people who have the most issues with that are the ones that wear skinny jeans. your pants are applying presure at the top and bottom of the phone and your thigh is putting pressure in the middle. so you are effectivly putting your iphone into a bending press.

  • Working with .mpg files

    I have about 10 files (.mpg converted from VHS to Digital). Each file is ~4 to 6GB in size. I'd like to pull them into Premiere Elements 8.0, edit and create menus. When I started I tested one project to burn I noticed that roughly 2 hrs of video will consume the entire BD disk (25GB).  Could this be an issue with the project settings and/or the output settings?
    I'm using  HDV 720p, frame size 1280 x 720, 48khz for project settings.
    Using H.264 440x1080i NSC Dobly for the preset to burn to BD.
    From reading some threads, it may have been better to have converted these VHS's to avi vs mpg.  Any advice at this point?   As always, feedback is greatly appreciated. 

    Ann/Steve,  
    This capture was done via Dazzle. The VHS tapes are SD (720x480).  I have about 15 Hi8 tapes after I finish the VHS tapes. Did some additional research and appears that I can still use Dazzle and abandon the Pinnacle Studio and use instead "VirtualDub"  to get an avi file that I believe is best to preserve quality and allow Premiere Elements to efficiently edit and create a digital file for burning. Will this work?  To be clear on my objective, I want to take many VHS tapes (~30), convert to digital format, edit and burn to BD disks. I'd like to maintain quality, but my hope was to ahve ~ 6 hrs of play per BD.   Thanks in advance of your reply on this topic........... still learning

  • How should I set up a project for .mpg files?

    I recently got a panasonic waterproof video camera. when all is said and done, I end up with .mpg files. I brought them into premiere pro CS4 and started up a project using the avchd 720p 30fps preset. I used this preset, because it was my best guess, but when I play a clip in the timeline it shows up as a smaller picture than the monitor frame. after that I click on the preview and resize it to fit the monitor. then I bring the sequence into another project which is avchd 1080i 60 and again I have to resize the video. surely there is a better way!
    by the way, the original clip shows up as 704 x480.
    all advice is more than welcome. I'm sure I'm doing this absolutely wrong.

    Try creating a Sequence (prior to CS4, you had to do this at the Project level) for the 704x480 with the appropriate frame rate, and see how that goes. You can do this as a Desktop Sequence to allow you to set the frame size.
    Ideally, your Project/Sequence settings should match your Assets exactly. You can then Export to whatever is required.
    Good luck,

  • No sound from mpg files?

    hey there--
    So, for better or worse, I used the "transfer from old mac to new mac" option during my MacBook initial installation. Great idea, but perhaps not when going from PPC to Intel..I have quite a few things that just don't work with the Intel chips, including screensavers and system preferences.
    While I understand that Flip4Mac doesn't work yet when I use quicktime to deal with .mpg files, I get no sound whatsoever. Everything else works fine.
    Anyone else seeing this
    thanks,
    mike

    The Flip4Mac codec is for Windows Media format content, not MPEG.
    If you're trying to import MPG files into QuickTime for editing, you have to demultiplex them first. QT cannot edit or export a multiplexed MPEG. Try one of the following utilities:

  • Activity windows shows "cancelled" for a .mpg file

    When I paste a valid URL into Safari the Quicktime player opens within Safari but the status message reads: "Failed to open page (see Activity window for details)". The activity windows status column just reads: "cancelled" that that URL.
    Pasting the URL into Firefox works w/o a problem.
    I am using Safari 5 and SnowLeopard (with all the latest updates).
    Olaf

    There seems to be a bug in Safari with .mpg files that include a space in the file name:
    * Safari issues a cryptic error, not even a file not found type error.
    * Replacing the file name with a %20 does not work either.
    * Safari works fine for *.mp4 files that include a space in the file name.
    URL with a space fails:
    http://www.wilhelmtell.org/images/Wilhelm Tell.org_web5.mpg
    This URL also fails (but works in other browsers):
    http://www.wilhelmtell.org/images/Wilhelm%20Tell.org_web5.mpg
    URL w/o space in the file name works:
    http://www.wilhelmtell.org/images/WilhelmTell.orgweb51.mpg
    URL with a space in for .mp4 works:

  • Green Frames in Exported Files

    I have noticed, since moving to DSLR 1080p video, that my workflow ends up with lots of seemingly random green frames, and Premiere Pro crashes a lot more.
    My system is a brand new system, and I have never had this happen before, on either my old system (running CS3 and SD video).
    I have had the green frames appear in 3 different cases, and often, all of them simultaneously: when scrubbing or previewing my timeline, when exporting to a move (mostly I use 264.BlueRay, but it happens with other file types too), and when trying to cross with After Effects (both, importing a timeline into AE, as well as importing an AE project into PP).
    I have tried clearing my media chache files and database, changing my memory settings (allocating anywhere from 8-13GB for PP), optimizing for both memory and performance, changing my playback quality, re-installing both PP and AE, changing the Renderer to both "Software Only" and "GPU Accelartion", and restarting.
    It is almost like the link manager is not linking to the source file properly, because I can place another clip in the timeline in place of the "green one", and that works, as well, if I manage to export the clip, I can replace the original with the newly exported one, and that works.  I believe this is also the case in regards to the issues I have had trying to work with AE, as it seems as though I am creating too many cross links and it just doesn't like it.  Finally, when I view my task manager, sometimes the "Adobe DT32 Server.exe *32" is using a HUGE amount of memory, just under 1GB itself...this is when PP tends to crash the most.
    It is totally possible that I have missed something, or my constant changing of settings isn't helping the situation, or my lack of knowledge of the "technical" end of PP is my downfall, so I am willing to take any recommendations and/or feedback on how to fix this...it is happening with all my projects and is a real pain to try to work around.
    I have created a short screen capture video to show what I mean.  The first bit shows the files working in the preview window, but when I overlay the exported .m4v file, you will see that there are green frames exported instead of the proper video (and, as I mentioned, sometimes this just happens when scrubbing and previewing, even without exporting). http://screencast.com/t/AQMWLUC2x

    It looks like the camera shoots H.264 full-AVCHD, and a couple other similar modes.
    If you shot in the full-AVCHD mode, 1920 x 1080, and us that footage in a matching Sequence, there should be no red line above the Clips (sounds like what you have), and the footage should edit just fine on an adequately fast system, providing that you have copied the full folder structure from your camera's card to your system.
    You should not need to install any Nikon software to use this footage. That was just in case your camera used MJPEG CODEC, like many other Nikons do/did. For MJPEG, one often finds that they need their camera mfgr's. exact, tweaked version of MJPEG, and that is often installed only with other software from the camera's utility disc. Not your case.
    Also, the Nikon AVCHD is not the only footage type displaying the problems.
    In my mind, we have ruled out a lot of possibilities, but that does not address your problem - random green Frames.
    Sometimes, odd Frames can be a display driver issue, but yours are showing up in the output files too.
    You have tried with both MPE hardware ON and OFF.
    It does sound like ADL is not doing "its thing" properly, all of the time, but unfortunately, I am at a loss, as to what could be the cause.
    Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions, and also for doing a very good post. Wish that I had some ideas on how to test, or suggestions on what the cause might be. As there are not tons of others, shouting "me too," it seems that the issue is either specific to your installations, or your system (seems like you have a more than adequate system, but perhaps Harm, or Bill G. will spot something, that I missed).
    Good luck,

  • Basic system struggling with Standard Def MPG files

    We built two news editors about 6 months ago and needed to build both computers for $1200.  These were replacing two old Avid Newscutter XP systems from 2004...
    Because we were shooting DVCAM on DSR-250 camera's or to .mov/.avi DV files on nNovia QC Decks on the camera's, the files were basic DV 25Mbps content in SD.
    Based on the System Requirements of Adobe for Premiere CS5, I didn't feel I needed to build these as top end machines at the time.
    They are as follows:
    MSI Motherboard 77T-C45  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130270
    AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2 GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103846

    Corsair 400W Power supply  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008
    Looking back at it now, and after reading a lot of posts, these systems are on the low end.  Guess that is how Adobe gets more people to buy software, make it look like it will run on what you have, after you shell out the cash on the program you realize you have to upgrade hardware too..
    The systems have been working great for the SD footage we needed them for.  We are not going HD anytime soon as our entire studio, routers, switcher, CG, playout system, studio camera's and pretty much everything else would need updating. So I wanted editors that were more user friendly and would handle what we were working with and that is what I got.  Figured in 3-5 years when HD comes along for us it will be time for entire new system on CS7 with 30 cores, 1 TB of memory and such... (More's Law)...
    So new twist to the issue.  We were having a lot of issues with camera's dying the last few months.  It was getting hard to keep the DSR-250s working and even though I can buy them for $1000-$1500 used off of e-bay and they are in way better shape than ours, they were big, bulky and our reporters "one man band" it a lot and two of the young women are just shy of 5 foot.  You should see a petite little reporter lug a huge shoulder mount camera up onto the tripod and run it when it is bigger than them.. Really funny!!
    So I pushed for new camera's and found the new Sony HXR-NX5U met all our needs in that it is a Z1/Z5 style camera (smaller format) but has "NO TAPE"...Shoots to SD cards and a 4 GB class 2 gives 58 min each in SD.
    It will shoot HD as AVCHD 24Mbps files and does SD as Mpeg-2 and 9 Mbps with AC3 audio.  I demo'd a camera from Sony and did a lot of testing with it, I played a few clips on the CS5 systems and everything seemed ok.  They did require a quick render and I think that has to do with the Mpeg-2 compression.  It is about 1/4-1/2 time render so a 5 minute clip will take 1-2.5 minutes roughly to render out.  Playback is ok even when not rendered but the video looks fuzzy on the CRT monitor looped off of our Firewire DSR-11 DVCAM deck.  Not a big deal, they can edit and render at the end before dumping to tape.
    Problem that came up today (we just started using the new camera's this week), when I went to diagnose system crashing, I found a simple news package on the timeline.  Maybe 40 small clips, edited into a package, with simple edits.  It was already rendered but I noticed the fan on the system was running fast which only happens if the CPU is working hard.  (Front Case Fan 120mm is on the CPU fan header PWM control, CPU fan is on Northbridge fan connector non-PWM controlled)  So the CPU fan (stock) is running at full speed but I used the MB temp monitoring to control the front fan so I could have a quiet system when it is not working hard.
    That led me to open the task manager.  I found that the CPU is running along at 94-98% for both Cores.  Ram is ok as Premiere was using about 1.8GB of the 4 GB in the system.  I checked the other system and it was doing the same thing.
    What is odd, is premiere is just sitting there with a timeline open, mpeg-2 clips on it and me not doing anything it stays at 92% continually.  I even close the project so I am out at the "new project" "Open Project" screen and no change.  If I hit exit, then the CPU drops right away down to 7% and is fine.  Open premiere back up into a project and CPU goes right back up.  During a timeline Render it is 100%.
    We are able to edit and they seem to work but it is causing the system to run Hot and is running the CPU at near max all the time. I added two more 80mm fans out the back that will help pull more hot air out.
    Is my chip way to slow for mpeg?  is there a setting that I must change to optimize editing mpeg-2?  I am assuming it is the work to decode the video on the fly, something the DV video didn't require so much CPU for.  I am not using GPU acceleration as I do not have a card that supports it even with the hack that I know of.  And GPU Acc. doesn't work for DV firewire output either.
    I am considering the following:
    1. Buy larger aftermarket CPU cooler and overclock my chip as many say this "Black Edition" with an unlocked multiplier is a breeze to overclock up to 4 Ghz range. (but still only 2 cores)
    2. Buy a replacement 4 or 6 core processor to replace it (also with the better than stock Cooler from above)
    The only problem is having to spend so much money on additional hardware.
    I am also going to optimize Windows 7 on these editors as I think Areo is running and other none essential things.
    The big question is why is it maxing out when doing NOTHING?????  Is it just trying to build that freeze frame on the screen as it is a picture between the I- frames? (i.e. not a real frame of video but one created by decoding the info of IPPBPPIPPBPPI etc.)
    Any idea's/help would be great.  Anyone else using this camera and the SD files?  I didn't think this would be an issue as I had read post that people were editing this kind of stuff on CS3 a few years back.  Can't believe it would cause a newer system so much grief..

    As you may have seen I posted your results. Your statement:
    Looking back at it now, and after reading a lot of posts, these systems are on the low end. 
    is damn accurate. 8-th rank from the bottom and around 32 x slower than a fast system, out of nearly 200 systems tested. For DV that is still perfectly acceptable, but for AVCHD it is not enough.
    Your problem is the same in every industry. One can increase productivity and reduce hazards or improve working conditions (like less bulky and heavy cameras), but only at a price, by investing in new technology. It makes no sense to only invest in new cameras, without also investing in new computer equipment. It would be similar to investing in new production machinery in a plant, but postponing the training required for employees to properly use that new machinery. IMO that is a typical example of 'penny-wise, pound foolish'.
    When I built these systems 8 months ago, I was originally going to get CS4, then I read on the site the CS5 was just around the corner, didn't want to buy the version on it's way out so I held off.  I had never been to this forum, wish I had, things might be different....  I went off of this list when deciding what we would need:
    Intel® Core™2 Duo or AMD Phenom® II processor; 64-bit support required
    64-bit operating system required: Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 or Windows® 7
    2GB of RAM (4GB or more recommended)
    10GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash-based storage devices)
    7200 RPM hard drive for editing compressed video formats; RAID 0 for uncompressed
    1280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card
    Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Adobe-certified card for capture and export to tape for SD/HD workflows
    OHCI-compatible IEEE 1394 port for DV and HDV capture, export to tape, and transmit to DV device
    Sound card compatible with ASIO protocol or Microsoft Windows Driver Model
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (DVD+-R burner for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.2 software required for QuickTime features
    Broadband Internet connection required for online services*
    I understand competely now that these systems are too slow, Adobe's own specs are way to low. I knew I was on the low end but the problem is we built them for DV so I wasn't expecting them to do much more than that.  According to Adobe, I was in the (recommended Spec, not even the minimum...)  If I was wanting to attempt AVCHD right now I would start over, but the desire now is to edit .mpg clips.  It seems to be able to do that but when we have a few on the timeline and they are rendered the CPU just maxes out for no reason. But I have trouble duplicating it myself...
    Today I went in and there was one .mpg clip on a timeline.  I checked the CPU and it was running at 98%.  I closed that project, started a new one with standard DV NTSC same as the reporters. Imported the same .mpg file that was on this reporters project.  I placed it on the timeline just as she had it and did some cuts and worked with it for over 5 minutes.  Rendered it all and the CPU looked fine, maybe 40-50% in bursts.  Playing it would cause it to go up some, stop it would go down.  Could not get it to do what it was doing for her.  Closed my project re-opened hers and boom CPU to 98% again.
    here are some screenshots:
    You can see here is where opening her project caused the spike.  Then not doing anything with Premiere it just floats along the top...
    Media Cache on E:\ Drive, same as the project and .mpg file.  1 TB 7200 RPM drive.
    Proceses that are running, mspaint only running as that is what I did the paste of the Alt+Print Screen to grab the task manager with.

  • FlashPlayer v. 10.1.102.64: Green flickering/essentially stopped working

    My data at the bottom. I never had issues with Flashplayer (e.g., I also run the entire CS4 suite w/o issue). After the newest, suggested upgrade (chosen after it was automatically offered) to the most recent version (see subject line), I notice on youtube (which is 99% of what I need this for) the following: sound ok; video plays but there is extreme green flickering of the following sort: regular video picture, then an all green screen for a little while, then back to the regular video, then green screen, the flickering of this sort persists, and eventually essentially green screen all the time. Needless to say, this means that for all practical purposes, flashplayer doesn't work at all. This issue is the same in both browsers I use, both only and right after the upgrade: Firefox and IEE.
    System:
    Problem occuring after installing v. 10.1.102.64 which is currently still installed
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Upper end, newish AW laptop (9 months old/then top end model); 64 bit; Intel Core2 Duo CPU etc.
    Display Adapter: Nvidia GTX260 (dual) with current drivers (reinstalled recently directly by AW support)
    Browser:
    same issue in IE Explorer and M. Firefox (both 32 bit). Both browser versions are current.
    Shockwave Flash Object enabled
    ActiveX content enabled or enabled/prompt for Download and Run
    Actions taken to remedy w/o success:
    Download proper seemed to work fine using the provided Adobe Installer
    Actions:
    (1) No links with this particular issue found on this forum
    (2) Followed link on this forum to uninstall, restart, then reinstall
    No links with this particular issue found googling either
    Disabled 'hardware acceleration' in the settings (no change; re-enabled it)
    Tried going back to old version. Old version leads youtube to insist installing newest version, after which same issue
    No issue with running any other software I use (mostly C++ish developer (e.g., MS Studio) and current high-end games, such as SC II)
    Thanks much! Kindly help as this takes away almost 50% of what I really use on the internet.

    I should have added maybe...my virus protection etc.:
    Current versions of the free version of...
    avast!
    ZoneAlarm
    Both have never in the past negatively interacted with any install (also not with prior installs of FlashPlayer).

  • Can you replace damaged frames with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 ?

    Hello everyone! I'm new to Premiere Pro CS6 and don't know all the tricks (no previous experience with video editing). I have a video file that has some damaged frames (it is a VHS-DVD bad quality transferred file). I'm wondering is there is a way to replace the damaged frames with adjacent good ones so the audio is not disrupted (instead of just deleting the damaged frames). Please advise and be gentle . I'm a beginner! Thanks!

    Thanks. I think I got it. I have two more questions. I'm trying to preview the video but it doesn't play in real time. The audio plays Ok but the video is lagging. I'm attaching my computer info so you can tell me if it is my computer's limitation.
    Second question is regarding filters. In some parts of the video there's some horizontal lines scrolling down the screen. I wonder is there's a filter to minimize this issue before exporting. In the Export Setting I see only Gaussian Blur. I wanted to post a video sample but I don't see an option to post a video file that is not a link with a URL.

    I switched to a Dell Inspiron 570 computer with better Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 250 Processor 3.00 GHz and the video now plays in real time.
