h264 video playback troubles

[lev69]

Hi folks,
I'm writing video from DVB stream using vlc. There are typically no problems with it, but very rarely I get "bad" videos.
ffprobe tells me next information:

Code: Select all

Input #0, mpeg, from 'V0031057.mpg': Duration: 00:10:06.68, start: 41392.486200, bitrate: 2762 kb/s Stream #0:0[0x1c0]: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 192 kb/s Stream #0:1[0x1e0]: Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p(tv, bt470bg), 720x576 [SAR 16:11 DAR 20:11], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc

but vlc shows me black screen (audio is ok and playback time bar is correct) with no errors in message boxes or in command line. In the "Codec Information" I see: "Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv)". Forcing with --avcodec-codec h264 gives no result.

I can transcode the source video to mpeg2 or flv using ffmpeg, and there are no problems with these new files. Problem is actual for CentOS 6 (vlc 2.0.7), OpenSuse 13.1 (vlc 2.2.0), Windows Server 2008 (vlc 2.0.4).

Thanks in advance!
