I cant play media with video resolutions greater than 720, and this just recently startted happening. I cant figure out why. I havent been using computers or VLC that long and Im respectfully requesting help.I use vlc specifically to watch my sons 2gfootball games that i film, and for some reason i have to film in 720 or they dont play and look like the screenshot. Convirting using ffmpeg works but its not that best quality...

This probe is from video in screenshot

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i S1140001.MP4 -hide_banner [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x559637665580] st: 0 edit list: 1 Missing key frame while searching for timestamp: 3003 [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x559637665580] st: 0 edit list 1 Cannot find an index entry before timestamp: 3003.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i S1140001.MP4 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 -c:a copy fixed_S1140001.mp4

ffmpeg -i S1140001.MP4 -vf "scale=1280:720" -c:v libx264 -preset faster -crf 28 -c:a copy S1140001_720p.mp4

# Run FFmpeg command ffmpeg -i "$video" \ -c:v libx264 -preset faster -profile:v high \ -vf "scale=1280:720, yadif=0:-1:0, unsharp=3:3:0.5" \ -b:v 5M -maxrate 5M -bufsize 10M \ -c:a copy \ -r 30 \ "$output"

Code: Select all

# Use ffmpeg to convert the file and append the output to the log file ffmpeg -i "$i" -vf "scale=1280:720" -b:v 5000k "$output_file" >> "$log_file" 2>&1 done
If anyone can help me atleast figure out if its ,vlc, or my laptop, or my media, or point me in correct direction it would be greatly appreciated. Im confused no matter how much i read/research

I apologize if im not asking for help correctly but i did read https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11217

Hello,

did you tried playing the video with VLC without transcoding the video (using ffmpeg) ?
