Adding a riff header

[Dopopopolis]

I need to add (or change) a riff header on an 30p mpeg2 file i have to read progressive so premiere will stop deinterlacing it, is there a way to do this without transcoding it?

RIFF is an AVI thing, not an MPEG thing.

Use Restream to set the progressive_frame flag.

Doesn't VCD use RIFF files too?

I've heard of MPEG audio wrapped with a RIFF header, but never anything like that for video. But I haven't seen everything out there, so...

I believe "LoRd MuldeR" is referring to the headers used to identify/differentiate VCDs (containing MPEG-1 video) from SVCDs (containing MPEG-2 video)...

Ah restream, of course!
