[FFmpeg-user] Troubleshooting cat'ing mpeg videos

[Lu, James - 0442 - MITLL]

Hey Brian, I'm no expert on ffmpeg but I recall reading somewhere that cat messes up timestamps, and a reencode will degrade video quality but will fix the timestamps. Hope that helps.

Subject: [FFmpeg-user] Troubleshooting cat'ing mpeg videos

I have two mpg videos that I've transcoded from mp4s. Each are 10
seconds long. When I play the transcoded mpg files individually they
run through just fine. But when I cat them into a combined mpg the
first one plays and when I get to the 10 second mark the 2nd one plays
for about 2 seconds, wish playback that seems to be skipping frames
and the audio is off. Then the video ends.

The combined playing time should be 20 seconds as each file
individually is 10 seconds. But the combined file only plays for 13
seconds.

If it is of any help I have pastied the output from the transocdings
and an ffprobe of the combined mpg:

Any help is greatly appreciated! :)
