Video sequence error

[yadda]

I have an AVI that I have had a lot of trouble converting from AVI to MPG. It plays fine in a player but there seems to be corruption at the beginning of the file because TMPGenc just hangs when I try and encode in this program.

Using Procoder I was able to cut this beginning 3 minutes and then encode. AWESOME but....when I load this file into TMPGEnc DVD author I get "video sequence header is necessary for every GOP in a standard DVD". I have tried to encode in Procoder using program stream and elementary stream files each time with the same error.

Thanks

Hi yadda,

I don't know Procoder, but I'm gonna assume it's sufficently similar to TMPGEnc for the following to be of use...

If you were encoding using TMPGEnc, this would solve your problem:

"Before encoding, click: Setting (bottom right) -> GOP structure tab -> Set "Output interval of sequence header" to 1."

Hope that helps...

Does anyone know the equivalent of "GOP structuring" in Canopus Procoder???

It's a fluke I cannot ever repeat system to system in Procoder. I would say to try the "DVD" template. Or be brave and sniff the registry. I've not done that yet. This is only found on the EXPRESS version.
