Weird WMV file unable to process correctly

Topaz Video AI General

Anybody know what to do with a WMV file that shows up in mediainfo as 15fps but is actually variable: around 23.970-24. Thats what Potplayer shows when playing back. And yeah it way more fluent than 15fps.

In TVEAI it loads as 1000fps??!!
Premiere also identifies it as 15 and playback is choppy compared to Potplayer.

What I tried is to open it in RIFE/Flowframes and there is shows no fps identified. So I manually put in 24 and did x4 (it shows 0.2% dupes so its around that fps). It interpolates the frames successfully but then cant encode it into a video somehow… get a weird error.

I want to get it at 60fps

Nevermind. Found a solution. Extracted the frames in Flowframes and then loaded it into VEAI

I would try and convert this WMV in Hybrid to FFV1 and feed it to TVAI.

Think I’ve solved but thanks.

Didnt encode it yet so got to check if the length is correct after VEAI interpolates the image sequence I extracted…

It would be highly appreciative if you would share the solution in case others might encounter the same in the future.

I tested vai with old camera videos that I have, different format and I have already seen videos that load at 1000 fps, the worst is that video processing with a model, that suddenly slows down but a passage of the video with shutter encoder which can do much more than convert videos, and it’s fixed :slight_smile:

Well… I kinda explained it in my own post and reply below it…

  1. I manually set the framerate in flowframes (FF couldnt handle the interpolation, got a weird error all the time)
  2. Took the generated frames folder and loaded it into VEAI and set it to 24fps. Chronos set to 60fps en viola

Have you had any other problems with WMV files? I’ve also noticed TVAI showing weird behavior with WMVs. Wondering if it’s coincidental or if the program actually does struggle with WMV.

I can’t speak specifically about WMV files in TVAI, but over the years I’ve noticed many programs having issues with WMV. I’ve tried to avoid it as much as possible.
