Ok, so this is an odd problem that I cannot seem to figure out. I have an Archos AV500 (video player). It only plays MPEG4s (Avi w/ xvid), and I was hoping to watch some of my tv shows I've recorded on it (while working out, driving, etc.). It comes with a utility that converts MPEGs to MPEG4. However, when I try to convert MPEGs made by GBPVR, I get the error message:
MPEG Import Filter: invalid pack at position 3: marker bit not set; possibly MPEG-2 stream.
It uses a program called VirtualDub, so I tried an updated version of that program, and I receive the same error.
I have also tried using the AVI conversion built into GBPVR, but it tends to go funky. First, the quality tends to be poor. Second, I get random video errors where it is jumpy, the video and audio lose sync, etc. However, the MPEG that it was made from works just fine.
Is this something that only I am having problems with? I have reformatted the computer and reinstalled and run into the same problem, so I don't think its an OS problem. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS: Thanks to all who have done work on GBPVR, it has been a wonderful blessing, and I do greatly appreciate your work.
