Perhaps this narrative can help someone.
I was starting to edit the second HDV tape of my granddaughter's wedding. This one was a full 60 minutes. I knew there was a discontinuity in that tape about one minute in from the start because I noticed the video and audio would freeze for a little more than a second, maybe 40 frames or so. I use HDVSplit to capture from my Canon HV20 and have had discontinuities before which I was able to correct with a little utility I found named mpeg2repaire.exe.
I used mpeg2repair.exe and it fixed some errors in the video and reported no errors in the audio. So I started a new project and imported the repaired one hour clip. It imported the video but 10 Platinum insisted there was no audio and displayed no audio track. I checked the repaired file with MediInfo and it said there was indeed audio! Hmmph!
Oh well, I just removed the video track, imported the non-repaired clip (which imported without hanging or crashing), ungrouped the tracks, removed the video track, imported the repaired video track and grouped them for editing. Small problem - worked around it.
So, I started to edit. I first of all wanted to removed the discontinuity. I scrubbed to the center of the discontinuity and split the clip into two events. All is well so far. I removed a suitable amount of frames from the ends of those two adjoining events so there was a clean 'cut' between them. Still up and running. But then, every time I scrubbed the timeline through that area 10 Platinum crashed. Every time.
I couldn't render out the 'good' sections of my clip using 10 Platinum and I didn't want to capture all over again - avoiding the discontinuity. So my solution was to use the free, open-source video editor Avidemux. Avidemux accepted the original capture with no complaints and I set the in and out points so the discontinuity was not saved - and saved the two segments to two new files. I started my VMS10HDP project over, loaded the two new files and it has been working fine ever since.
