This illustrates the problem.
The AVI (H264) file (which is less than 1 MB) is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4019461/Problem.avi
I'd appreciate feedback on whether other 2013 users can play it fully please?

That is strange Terry. It indicates the full length of the clip in the timeline at 5secs 24frames but repeats the frame at 5secs 14fr nine times.
Stranger - if I zoom the timeline to 1frame I can get 1 more frame to show by mouse clicking the cursor at 5" 16fr or further along.
Can not imagine what is going on there! It is an import thing rather than a display thing because it exports with the repeated frames.

Thanks Peter. Yes, weird indeed! It was made in a program I have called Bluff Titler. Strange that only MEP can't handle it.
I made another version just 1 second longer and that works OK.

Hi Terry
That video file is seriously weird - not only does it repeat the last 9 frames, but I get a significant slow down in MX, 2013 and VPX 4 after trying to step through the last 10 frames ie press an arrow key wait a few of seconds then it moves the cursor ! !
In GSpot the clip analyses OK and plays complete and correct to the end ! !
Also plays complete and correct in WMP and VLC Player.
I have run the AVI through Nero Recode and converted it to mp4 and imported this into MEP 2013 and it is complete and correct right to the end with no lag after playing once.
John
Thanks John. I'm wondering if it reflects some obscure flaw in MEP, given that it plays OK elsewhere?

Here's another similar weird example of an export from BluffTitler:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4019461/Typewriter-2.avi
At the end that should read:
"I wish I'd learned how
to touch type when I was young."
And it does so - except in MEP!
I've also posted in the BT forum and sent a support email to Magix.
