[MEncoder-users] H.264 Errors on Hauppauge HD PVR .ts File

[Nicholas Oleksinski]

Hi:
I'm trying to convert a .ts file output from my new Hauppauge HD PVR (480p,
from composite inputs?)

I've tried just about everything I know of in mencoder including some
suggestions from the error messages themselves, but I always run into this:

Too many video packets in the buffer: (2021 in 33563374 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
FAAD: error: Unable to find ADTS syncword, trying to resync!
FAAD: Failed to decode frame: Unable to find ADTS syncword

Has anyone run into this and found a workaround?  I did not have much luck
with ffmpeg either.

The HD PVR is setup this way for capture:
