[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 1259545, member: 83973"] I've spent some time investigating the issue. The problem appears to be caused by missing or corrupted PCR timestamps in the file (which is why the duration of the file looks wrong e.g. 1.6 seconds instead of the actual 2 minutes 9 seconds. The file data from Mediainfo: [code]General ID : 4 (0x4) Complete name : D:\Video\TV Server\Movie - US _ HBO 2 - 2019-03-13_1.ts Format : MPEG-TS File size : 80.2 MiB Duration : 1 s 600 ms Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 417 Mb/s Video ID : 48 (0x30) Menu ID : 137 (0x89) Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : Main@L3.1 Format settings : CABAC / 1 Ref Frames Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, RefFrames : 1 frame Format settings, GOP : M=1, N=60 Codec ID : 27 Duration : 2 min 9 s Width : 1 280 pixels Height : 720 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Color range : Full Color primaries : BT.709 Transfer characteristics : BT.709 Matrix coefficients : BT.709 Audio ID : 64 (0x40) Menu ID : 137 (0x89) Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format version : Version 4 Format profile : LC Muxing mode : ADTS Codec ID : 15 Duration : 2 min 8 s Bit rate mode : Variable Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 46.875 FPS (1024 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Delay relative to video : -101 ms [/code] Note the video and audio stream durations (based on the presentation timestamps) are correct, but the 'general' duration (based on PCR timestamps) is only 1.6 seconds.
