MediaInfo and Encore Disagree on Video Length

[koberulz]

I'm importing what should be a 2:08 m2v into Encore, but it's importing at 1:57. Windows also says it's 1:57.

Created in HCEnc 0.28. When I play the AVS input in MPC-HC it runs the full length of the video.

Many programs have problems with MPEG 2 elementary streams. Mux it into an MPG container. Or, if you can, use AviSynth and Mpeg2Source() to open the video.

Encore shouldn't have any issues with m2v, seeing as it's its preferred format...

AC3 out of Audacity and m2v out of HCEnc is my standard DVD workflow and I've never had a problem before.

There was a .xmp and a .mpgindex file in the folder with the same name as the video. I deleted those and re-imported and it's working fine now - I accidentally set the work area incorrectly when I exported from Premiere the first time, obviously those files were flagging it as that length in Encore even with the corrected video.
