mastrmind11 722 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 But he's playing h264 movies, not VC1 Codec tagavc1 AVCYes I'llgo try and find a VC1 sample online somewhere.
tdiguy 99 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Posted March 9, 2018 Vc1 files normally would have a vc1 extension though not mp4 Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Guest asrequested Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Codec tagavc1 AVCYes I'llgo try and find a VC1 sample online somewhere. If he looks at the details in the web app or Android mobile app, it'll say h264
mastrmind11 722 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 ok. lets settle this. @@tdiguy, cut a 1 min sample and put it up.
clarkss12 304 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Some information on the avc1 codec, if that makes any difference.. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757808(v=vs.85).aspx?ranMID=24542&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-FpH5yubWjE2JvsoSLgPjVQ&tduid=(ca159b7e418bf5e574194e755559efff)(256380)(2459594)(TnL5HPStwNw-FpH5yubWjE2JvsoSLgPjVQ)()

It's all h264/x264
Guest asrequested Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Lol...a sample would be good for us to test, too. Edited March 9, 2018 by Doofus

mastrmind11 722 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 it's tiny, make it 5-10 mins for a real test since your other one failed around the 1 min mark. post it or test locally, and we'll check your sample (others will beat me since I'm on my way out for the night). '
Guest asrequested Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I'll be able to check it when I get off work, in a few hours.

' The original did not play at all. It made attempts to play for a minute but never did. With DLNA now turned on and trying to play using vlc the original fails right off the bat while the 1 min version plays fine. Edited March 9, 2018 by tdiguy
Guest asrequested Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I wonder if it's a container issue. Try giving it a quick remux.
mastrmind11 722 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 seriously, just post a sample for us to try. it's family friendly, and if not, I won't judge.

I did. post #34 It either loads or it doesnt for some reason the 1 min sample loads fine but the full movie does not load at all. Edited March 9, 2018 by tdiguy

Thats my point. If it loads on yours, it will loadon mine and everyone elses. Make it longer so we can rule out environment... need to get to playing it. Edited March 9, 2018 by mastrmind11
Guest asrequested Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Even better, depending on it's full size, can you throw it on a cloud drive and share the link? If it's only a few gigs, that is. Then we can truly test.

Then we can truly test. Lol I will have to see if i have enough room on one of my cloud accounts. I really should look into scaling this thing down, 2 hours and its 5.5gigs.

Guest asrequested Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 The reason I suggested that, was because then we can use the exact file that you are. Even lopping off a piece I will cause a container remodel. So Mastermind's suggestion is good. If you lop off a big chunk, test it, if it plays, sharing it will be redundant. At that point, we'll need the whole thing.
tdiguy 99 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Posted March 10, 2018 Its currently uploading to dropbox. ETA 2 hours ( 5 meg upload speed ) I am going to also scale it down 5 gigs is huge for my movies most are 1 gig or so. Except my wifes old movies which are like 3 or 4 hours long also lol.
Guest asrequested Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Lol... I suspect that once you transcode it, you won't have any issues playing it. I think the largest movie I've got is around 70GB
tdiguy 99 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Posted March 10, 2018 OFFS I scaled it down a little bit ( now at 3.5 gig ) and it plays, takes a little bit to load but it plays now. Something must have been off on it. What i dont get is that i have a program on my laptop i used for nearly all the movies in my collection and i used the same profile for all of them. I think this one and like 2 other movies gave me problems. My wifes movies are significantly larger in play time and file size.
clarkss12 304 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 After you scaled it down,what the codecs show?
Guest asrequested Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 I have a feeling it was how they were muxed. Sometimes slight errors can occur. So then some players will be able to split them easily, and others might have issues.
Guest asrequested Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) And for the curious minded, here's the difference between H264 and VC1. Here's the same movie in each of those codecs VC1 H264 Edited March 10, 2018 by Doofus
