Black screens on cl_avidemo

I'musing cl_avidemo 60 to make .avi sequences for a fragmovie. I know it happens sometimes one of the thousand .tga screenshots is black (cpu fails or something) : then you just have to deleting the 1 or 2 black screens before rendering the .avi sequence.

My problem is nearly the same, but it happens only in cod4, on Crash and sometimes on Citystreets :
There is no black .tga screens in my sreenshot folder, but when I import these screens into Vegas (8.0 pro), it make a sequence with about 10 or 20 black frames per seconds.

If someone has a solution, or any clue to resolve this problem (does it come from the maps, from vegas, from my cpu ?), please answer :)

If you use another program to transform .tga screens to .avi sequence, give a link or a name.

Thanks by advance :)

wierd u bring this up because i had the same problem a while ago. It only happen on two maps vacant and crash. I cant remember exactly what i did but i know one problem for black screens is an active microphone or input device. When i talk on vent or just active my mic one bit whilst avidmeoing i get a black screen. i convert my tgas into an avi with 'VDUB' means then i can get rid of all th tga files and just have one AVI. This also sometimes gets rid of the black files as vegas cant read .mpeg-1 files which sometimes the TGA files get saved as ( dont know why this happens)

hope my ranting helped.

This could be the solution : my sound card is almost dead so I have a constant input/output noise, which may be the reason why these black screens appears.

Hope it will work

you can also transform .tga files with "Irfanview" wich translates .tga files to .jpg and then "JPGVideo" wich transform .jpg files into a .avi video =D maybe it can work too

I already work with /r_fullscreen 0 because demos lauch faster in window, but this doesn't get rid of these black sreenshots.

close winamp or sth like that, just close all other programs ;)
when winamp changed track, came black screen.
i made avidemo 120 and i deleted black screens in vegas. moved forward frame by frame, found it and deleted it. it does not effect on clip ;)
just when making avidemo, go and have a snack, cigarette or boil an egg. leave your pc alone and let it work :P gl

yeah my english is not perfect. :)
