Garbled image when I open an ASF in VirtualdubMod w/avisynth

I have an ASF captured from a live stream. It can play in media player classic, but with a weird hitch: I must seek somewhere in the file. Otherwise I just see the first frame. After seeking it plays fine. My avisynth script is pretty simple: directshowsource("C:\final.asf") crop(2,0,0,0) The crop is because my width is not divisible by 4. Anyway, the file appears to load without error but the visuals are garbled. The image seems skewed diagonally quite a bit and the colors are funky. I can seek it within the program and probably could convert it to AVI/MKV also, it'd just look weird. Any guesses on how I can fix this? Or a different program for converting? I tried super, wmrecorder, and one or two other programs... but they all seem to give errors or hang.

Desperation bump. I just need to convert an ASF to another format. Need a program that actually works instead of choking and crashing or producing garbled output.

Did you try encoding the avs with x264.exe or MEncoder?

Are you using 2.5.8, I added some code to help with some non-standard memory packing, the default assumes 32 bit alignment. Also try different pixel types, this may change the way the codec packs it's data and allow you access to the image data uncorrupted. Code:

Howdy IanB - thanks so much, directshowsource("C:\final.asf", pixel_type="RGB") did the trick. VirtualdubMod's currently cranking out the converted file as we speak. Hopefully no further glitches. If you were curious, the asf was captured from a live stream by using WM Recorder, res. was 426x240. Keep up the good work on avisynth :o

DirectShowSource is known for being unreliable with seeking. Try loading the asf with a different source filter?
