I have exhausted all my resources to find a FREE or cheap shareware utility which will detect and fix any mpeg2 errors. Below, is what I'm trying to accomplish:
I am trying to convert 2 hour hipix recordings to a format which is acceptable to TMPGEnc.
The only way I know how to do this is by using either Ben Cooley's HDTV2DVD utilty or Xmuxer to to convert ts->mpeg2. I then use DVD2AVI to save a .d2v and .wav file acceptable to TMPGEnc.
Its a sure bet that I will eventually receive an error message from TMPGEnc saying there is an error in the video with no way to recover and continue.
Although, the Hipix doesnt seem to mind when there are packet errors once in a while, encoders seem to require perfect 100% error-free video and audio.
Can somone please help? Am I the only person that's ever tried to downconvert 2 hour HDTV recordings to smaller formats? I have no problems doing short clips.
Things which I already ruled out:
1) There isn't a 2GB file size barrier in any of the apps that I have used or my OS.
2) I have plenty of RAM 768mbs with several dozen GB's of free disk workspace.
PS: I have already consulted with Ben Cooley and Trbarry and they aren't sure either since they have only experience with short clips.
PPS: I have already posted on the TMPGEnc sub-forum of www.doom9.org with plenty of views and no responses.
Thanks in advance!
