I converted a .m2ts video file into .mp4 using one of the default templates "SONY PS3 HD Video 1080p" that converts the file into a .mp4 extension video clip using video codec H.264/AVC in 4500 kbps. Recently, I wanted to re-encode that same .m2ts with a higher bitrate level. I used the same 1080p ps3 template except I adjusted the video bitrate to 6500 kbps. The resulting file is a completed mp4 video that does not play. The only information I have on the error is that if I play it in Windows Media Player it will not play with the C00D11B1 WMP error, which seems to be a pretty common WMP video playback error. Other media players such as VLC and MPC has no error message, it just does not play. In VLC the elapsed timer is running, but no video or audio is working.
The PS3 template encodes the video in 29.97 fps and mp4 PSP file type. I have tried to adjust the settings by using the original fps, mp4 iso v1, and mp4 iso v2. None of the adjustments have met success. The resulting file is still a completed mp4 video that does not play.
I then tried to encode the same .m2ts file into .mkv format with the original fps and the H.264/AVC codec. The completed file works fine. So my guess is it seems to be an issue with encoding into .mp4, though its weird that I was able to successfully convert it in the past but now I cannot. Could this error possibly on my end with changes to codecs and/or .dll files? I've kept my video codecs pretty simple and limited with just the most recent version of ffdshow. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
