V8.0.0.5 Video Converter fails with error 513.05 on my MPEG-2 files

[BlackCat3000]

V8.0.0.5 Video Converter fails to convert MPEG-2 files from my Topfield 5800 PVR which V7.0.9.3 was able to convert successfully. This seems to occur whatever the output format and throws the following error messages:


3m 08.66s: create config(3)
3m 08.66s: convert profile(mp4.default)
3m 08.66s: 513.05 : not any valid video codec information
3m 08.68s: create config failed(513.05 5)

I've attached the output from V8's internal log and the file info from both versions (which, stangely, seem to differ slightly). V8 does not seem to like the input files. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.

I'd love to see this fixed in V8 as I bought the video converter specifically to archive files from my PVR. Ok, I know I can still do it with V7...

Thanks, BlackCat3000

BlackCat3000,
I might be wrong, and I hope I'm wrong, but your content seems need to be run with AviSynth-based transcoder. Xvid2PSP 5 is one of my favorites, and it's free.... Google it

I hope you're wrong too, IP, because I am similar problems with MPEG 2 files that I wish to turn into AVI's/MKV's.

They are created by ULead Video Studio from a project that I have authored and I am trying to track down what could be the problem.

Other software handles them without any issue.

Will post definitive results later.

Hello IPopov50.

The MPEG-2 file was created from the Topfield's .rec files using MPEG Streamclip which requires Quicktime Alternative (does this help with the AviSynth question?) both of which are installed on the PC which is running DVDfab.

The funny thing is that DVDFab7 and DVDFab8 are both installed on the same PC yet V7 works but V8 doesn't. The MPEG-2 file plays fine in Windows Media Player and VLC Media Player on this PC, so I'm baffled. It seems strange that V7 and V8 report the properties of the same file slightly differently.

Thanks, BlackCat3000

I'm coming from your log:
3m 08.66s: 513.05 : not any valid video codec information
3m 08.68s: create config failed(513.05 5)

Most of recording devices aren't coding, nor rendering content properly, using right codecs, and otherwise producing out of compliance content.
AviSynth usually handles this kind of content with confidence, re-indexing (or indexing), re-coding, detects and fills gaps, etc., brings content to compliance.
That's why I was suggesting to put your content through AviSynth-based software. And I did proposed to use one that's simple in use and did a good job for me in a past...

hi,

the error log is show the mpeg2 stream not have any audio-stream, so not to convert it.

the convert engine has changed, so maybe there are something wrong in new engine, I will check it

thanks.
