Stubborn VCD mpeg

[mats.hogberg]

Got this MPEG1 (not of my own manufacture) that seems OK. It's about 75 min long. I can play it on my computer, I can load it in VirtualDub. I can load it VCDEasy for authoring - mpeg scan doesn't complain. However, when I build the VCD image, it's just 8 minutes long! Trying to remux in TMPGEnc also gives me a new MPEG about 8 minutes. Somewhere there's something seriously wrong with this file, but what?

If it was an AVI, you would automatically scan it for junk frames. Because its a mpeg you may think its not got any, when it has.

Sometimes you can repair little problems by using TMPGEnc > Tools >Merge&Cut and saving out another copy.

See if the scan in vdub will fix it, but you then would need to save as AVI

Nope, it was mpeg to begin with (well, at least when it landed on my HDD)
Tried MPEG corrector. Result: VCDEasy wont even recognize it as a MPEG.
Tried the merge/cut trick by selecting 0 to last. Got me 512 secs - stops at the same point as VCDEasy does. Mighty strange!
I'm giving up on this one, me thinks...
