First "chapter" repeats on some MP4s

Postby muzicman82 » 13 Aug 2013 00:39

Hi all,

I have been having consistent problems with some MP4s that I did not rip. The ones I am having problems with are repeating the first chapter of video, but the audio continues as it should, which puts everything else out of sync. The problem does not exist in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic.

I tried turning off "respect ordered chapters" and "chapter codecs" in Preferences but that didn't change anything. Is there a way to video an MP4's metadata to see what is going on or have VLC ignore everything?

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts and then post the link to the file here.

Cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

50 MB max should be enough.
