  1. I've demuxed a Blu-ray backup (so it wasn't from the disc) with MakeMKV and it was OK (I got no error messages) but while seeking I noticed some glitches. I tested with several players and I got the same result with every single one but if I extract the frames with ffmpeg all the image files look normal. Here is a clip: https://pixeldrain.com/u/JgM9f3SK



    With the clip if you pause the video and go here: 00:01.919 you will see the glitch.


    Here is a screenshot: https://forum.videohelp.com/images/imgfiles/9iGCG1D.png
    I have to clarify, this is ONLY noticeable when the video is paused and I'm seeking. If I play the video I don't see any glitch, even pausing and playing like crazy, but if I pause and then seek or go directly to the time it does appear.



    I also extracted all the frames from that clip and all the image files looked well too. This is not the only video file with which I'm having this problem, there is at least 1 or 2 more. What I want to know/understand here is:


    1. Is the video file corrupted?
    2. How is it that extracting all the frames doesn't show that corruption/glitch?
    3. If 1 is no, is my PC faulty, then? Or is the container?



    And no, the original m2ts file doesn't show this glitch, it looks normal.

  2. It seems that the video can be decoded strictly sequentially only. Decoding may fail with random access. Maybe due to very long GOPs, or something odd with the timecodes.
    You can fix it by demuxing, re-encoding the video, remuxing

  3. Hey, thanks for your help. I have tried remuxing with mkvtoolnix and the output doesn't have this problem, I guess this is worth reporting to MakeMKV? Or is random? Because as I said, there are other videos that have this problem, but there are others that don't too.
    And what I find more intriguing (maybe is because of my lack of knowledge about this subject) is that being MakeMKV just a remuxing tool (I mean, it can convert audio tracks but video tracks it just extracts them) how is it that is modifying the video tracks for them to have this problem?

  4. I don't think that simple remuxing really helps. You should re-encode the video.
    But anyway, you may ask in the makeMKV forum. I don't have much experience with it.

    This should work:
    Code:
    ffmpeg.exe -i "your source" -map 0 -c:a copy -c:s copy -c:v libx264 -preset medium -bluray-compat 1 -crf 18 -g 48 -vf format=yuv420p "your_recoded.mkv"

  5. No, I didn't mean that I remuxed the mkv file, I remuxed the Blu-ray using MKVToolNix and the output file doesn't have any of these glitches. I found another user having similar issues than I and posted there.



    Thanks for the help.

  6. Random seeking with out-of-order codecs (all the high compression codecs) can be very difficult, especially with variable frame rates. Many players don't bother trying, they just output corrupt video until a new keyframe comes along. Many have a "fast seek" setting which seeks to the nearest keyframe to prevent that corruption when seeking.

    -> first thing I would try is remuxing the file while dropping all the time codes, otherwise any player follwing the container frame rate will fo funny things with that frame rate,...

    I tried this forcing 24000/1001 fps and the framerate was then constant, but random seeking was still messy (MPC-HC), so I had to reencode it in order to fix it......

    It uses the usual method of alternating pkt_dts increments to achieve a non integer average.

  10. For anyone reading this thread, check your remuxed videos if you used MakeMKV, I've been checking and I have several with this problem, from 10 I've remuxed recently with MakeMKV 8 have this issue and only 2 are glitch-free.


    And as I said, I don't understand how is it that MakeMKV is making these glitched files but MKVToolNix doesn't. I have also compared both video tracks and they are not the same, starting from the size (in bytes) both avc files are different, hashing also outputs different hashes.
    Aren't these two application supposed to make 1:1 copies of the video files?

    What was the source, a m2ts file, a blu-ray folder structure,

  12. Blu-ray folder so a m2ts file.

  13. Here is a clip between same times as the other from the output file from MKVToolNix: https://pixeldrain.com/u/rZ67YAc2


    Tried remuxing with MKVToolNix another movie that has this glitches and again, the output from MTX doesn't have this issue.

    Nothing unusual, yes. Maybe it's only the new I,P,B distribution which made the re-encode better seekable without producing glitches.

    On the other hand, when random stop/play/seeking within the OP's file using ffplay I am getting alerts like:
    Code:

    When I do the same with the re-encoded video I cannot provoke these alerts.
    No idea if this has some relevance. Just curious.

  15. I don't see anything unsual in the time codes
    Then the question is: Why does MediaInfo report that frame rate....

    It's obscure where it takes that huge framerate from. Even for the re-encoeded glitch-free seekable variant it reports
    Code:
    Frame rate mode : Variable 
    Frame rate : 31 203.320 FPS 
    Original frame rate : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS

    Okay, that is really unexpected.
