Converting failes with two files

[neik 873]

Hi there,

 

I have been converting my AVI files to MKV for compatibility reasons but two files keep crashing every time.

 

Which settings do I use?

 

- Convert to: "Original media folder, next to original files"

- Profile: TV

- Quality: Original Quality

 

Attached are two logs, anything else just let me know.

av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid data found when processing input

Often means corrupt file or hard disk failure.

The file is not corrupt as it plays fine till the end and interesting enough it does transcode it while playing - see attached log.

@@softworkz any ideas about these?

It looks like there's a corruption in the headers of the source files.

 

For playback streaming, those aren't entirely read and parsed or written, so it fits into the picture that playback is working while conversion fails.

 

On our side, I think there's not much we can do about it. While it might be possible to figure out an ffmpeg command line to workaround that, this would be nothing to do at the Emby side, because such a command line would no longer perform the conversion in the way that we wand/need to do for all other 99.999% of videos that aren't corrupt.

@@neik - Please try to convert these two files using an external conversion tool that gives you some options for controlling the conversion and is more specialized for this task.

FYI

Your suggestion did the trick.

Thanks mate!
