Help: 723MB mpg file but only 12mins ??

[quarkz]

Hi,

I've got a mpg file which is 723mb in length but it's only 12mins when I tried to play it? Can anyone tell me what's the problem?

I've tried vcdgear and it has found some errors but after that the new file still has the same problem. I can't use virtualdub or tmpgenc since the file can't be opened properly.

When I use vcdeasy to analyse, the error message is

"[VCDxMInfo.exe]
trying to open mpeg stream...
mpeg stream will be padded on the fly -- hope that's ok for you!

MPEG encoder)

autopadding requires to insert additional 2342339 zero bytes into MPEG stream (due to 8487

Total size: 761,792,516 bytes


Can anyone help?

Thanks alot!

have you try letting it play beyond the 12 min. mark???

sometimes media player misrepresents the time of the .mpg

if you have powerDVD or winDVD, try playing your .mpg in that and see if the .mpg is still shown to be 12 min...

There is no reason why an mpeg file of that duration should not be that size.
