Imported short clip with obscenely high framecount So I'm quite new to Blender, and I'm running into many problems importing my video.

When I first try to import it, I get the 2 channels for video and audio, which is expected, but the video channel has a framecount of 38562221 when the audio has 12859 (7:08 video at 30fps).

I have no idea what to do, and when I render the video nothing appears at all except the very first frame for 1/30 of a second. After this it's completely blank with the checkerboard pattern.

I'm so confused. Is there something Blender has against WMV files? I tried again with an MP4 also and it did the ridiculous framecount (note for both of these videos under properties it was specified to be at 30fps). So I'm completely stuck. Help!




Hopefully this is something simple i missed.
There is a hard coded frame count in Blender. You could recompile it with a larger frame count and see if things work, as I believe your piece is over the maximum. While I cannot remember the number, you shouldn't have too much trouble locating it.

It might be more optimal to chop the piece into smaller portions using another tool and reassemble them.
