TC in MediaInfo?

[dnc]

Hello.

I have an FLV file that I am comparing against another "known good" file. The only difference I can see in the makeup of the file is visible in MediaInfo. My question is what are the "tc" values - and how can I remove them - as they seem to be the only difference between a good video and this one that is causing me some potential errors. The timescale seems way out on the tc as the file is only 3 minutes long. I have not been able to find much info on the web, as it isn't strictly "metadata"

Thank you in advance

what "potential errors" are you getting?

[dnc]

NetStream error: ReferenceError: Error #1069 12:47:09 unknown ERROR MEDIA

when playing that FLV back via a flash player. I do not get that error with a similar FLV file that does not have the TC property. Hence I am wondering what that property is - and how I can possibly remove it (to test if the error still occurs).

You could try to re-wrap with ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i input.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.flv

or try avidemux to copy the streams

or use flv extract, then reassemble without timecodes or keep it in avi container (if you aren't streaming)

what "flash player" are you using? have you tried another?

Thank you - using ffmpeg has done the trick and removed the timecodes without changing the quality (the flv extract tool brought out a lot of artifacts).
