m2ts / Runtime Error

[adicoto]

Could you post a link to such a file (to test) ?
m2TS it's a transport stream file and usually requieres a splitter that support such files.

"---.m2ts" is what you get when you bring the video-files from a AVCHD camcorder
(here Panasonic HDC-SD300) to your computer.
The software delivered with the camcorder is rather awful.

So, could you make a short film (5-10 secs) and upload it to a filesharing site ?

[Ernest]

OK: under
http://www.mediafire.com/file/3okyqj...1_184110].m2ts
you find such a file. (20 sec before the beginning of a TT-Match)
Sorry, it's 40 MB because the trouble begins with files
that play more than 10 seconds. (2MB/sec - it's HD!)
Some do not start at all
others stop at ca. 10 sec.
FFDshow is installed !!!

Again: many thanks for help!!!

Can you also provide CPU and GPU data on your pc? Also, do you have ffdshow installed with internal "codecmanager.exe" found in BS.Player's folder?

[Ernest]

WinXP-Home V2002, SP 2
Intel Pentium 4, 3.00 GHz
RAM 3 GB (0.5 GB occupied by graphic card?)
NVIDIA GeForce 6800


I could not find "codecmanager.exe"
neither
nor on my disk at all

Within the BS.Player-Installation
there is a subdirectory "FFDShow"
with a lot of ff_---.dll

Where can I find a short tutorial
about all the Vido- / Codec-related terms?

I am sorry - in 2.40 and previous BS.Player versions it was named "bspcodecdl.exe".

We beleive that the reason for this problem is inadequate hardware (specifically CPU). This file plays ok on Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz, while on Pentium 4 2.8GHz it cannot be displayed correctly (video freezes, audio is choppy...). Another reason may be that ffdshow only supports single CPU core, maybe this will be fixed with future ffdshow updates.
