Mpeg stream error: open error for wtv output

[JMRDV]

644A - opened recorded tv shows - vrd stops at the multiple video dimension screen so i set to Quickstream and set to use batch manager. First show stops with that error - click ok and the 2nd starts and then fails as the 1st one did. When the output processing complete screen pops up it shows
actual video bit rate as -1.#J Mbps for both with zero frames in all the boxes. Processsing times were 338023 and 338183.

Also note that these two files both stalled when using VAP 1.08.

They are US tv shows - same series i have been recording and processing for awhile - never had these problems before.

 

[Dan203]

If you run the same files interactively through QSF with the dimension filter set does it work?

Dan

 

[JMRDV]

No they both fail

I tried both shows - three ways
1st - let vrd pick the dimensions
2nd - picked 704 x 480 myself
3rd - picked 720 x 480 myself

both files failed individually. (not using batch manager)

VRD 4.20.646

 

[Dan203]

OK we're going to need a sample. You can use Tools->Trim & Copy to cut it down a bit just make sure you start at the beginning because WTV files have a header at the start of the file and wont work without it. After you get a sample that can reproduce the error upload it to our FTP...

2 files uploaded

Dan,

I uploaded the two files to the JMRDV directory and sent email to your support address.

Do me a favor check the output folder where you're saving the files. Are there any .tmp files? WTV does something a little strange. It writes out to a .tmp file first, then renames itself to .wtv when it's done. This is to work around an issue where MCE might try to process the file before it's finished outputting. However if there is a .tmp file with the same name already in the directory WTV output will fail with the error you listed because it will not automatically overwrite an existing file. If there are any .tmp files try deleting them and outputting the file again.

Dan

 

[JMRDV]

No tmp files. Sorry for the late reply, in my NJ area, we just got power back last night and internet a few hours ago. I ran the files again to test.

 

[Dan203]

Hmmm.... There are two of you complaining about this, but I have Win8 installed on my machine and it works fine. I'm going to have to do some more testing and see if there is some particular sequence required to duplicate this problem.

Dan

 

[JMRDV]

My video pc is windows 7 ultimate and this problem remains. I just uninstalled vrd, then reinstalled to a different drive altogether. Then put the files in question to a totally different folder and tried to process them - same failure.

My other pc now has windows 8 pro -> there is no problem whatsoever on that pc.

IF you want me to try anything let me know - I'll do my best when I have power which was about 1/2 the day today.

 

[Dan203]

So you're having this problem in Windows 7?

Dan

 

[JMRDV]

Yes it only happens in WIndows 7 ultimate 64bit

 

[Dan203]

Ok that's odd. The WTV output code hasn't changed in a while and I run Win7 x64 Ultimate myself and have no issues at all with WTV files. Is MCE installed? (not sure if it's an option or not in Ultimate) can you play WTV files in Windows Media Player? Can you open WTV files in VideoReDo?

Dan

 

[JMRDV]

Yes to MCE installed, Yes I can play WTV in WMC and Yes they open in VRD.

Is there a way to make 100% sure that all remnants of prior VRD installations are removed from registry? If I knew the individual Keys I could even delete them manually to ensure that this is not the basis of the concern.

 

[Dan203]

If you do a complete uninstall and delete anything left behind in the install directory, then reboot your computer before reinstalling that should be enough.

Dan

 

[Formation4]

I am also having this same problem. Worked fine on win 7 ultimate 64 bit. I now have win 8 pro with media centre.

Wtv opens and plays fine in videoredo.

Soon as i start to save to h264 wtv file format it comes back with mpeg stream error. Open error for WTV output.

Any way I can get this sorted. Please.

 

[Dan203]

I'm unable to reproduce this on my Win8 install. Can you please clear your log, then try saving a file again, and then send me you log to support @ videoredo.com. That might have more info as to where exactly it's failing.

Thanks
I am at work at the moment soon as I get in I will have a look. How do I clear log, save log in order to send over? Never had to send a log. I have been reading up on wtv files and vrd, the programme that was recorded was a hd channel, would that have anything to do with it

 

[Dan203]

There is a menu under the Help menu with all the log related options.

I wonder if it's the second audio stream. When saving the file click the Options button in the Save dialog and uncheck the "Allow multiple audio streams" option. Does that help?
