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

i tried to repair

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -err_detect ignore_err -i S1140001.MP4 -c copy fixed_S1140001.MP4

i tried re-encode

Code: Select all

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

i tried this...

Code: Select all

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

Code: Select all

 # 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) ?
