hello everyone

I recorded a large movie this night. But by limitations of the codec the mpg-file was splitten when reaching 4GB. The first file is pretty good, but the second doesn't work. I read some spec's for the recording software. It says that the files are mother-and-child. The second files does not contain any mpg-headers, only the first file contain the headers.

Is there a possibility to make the second file working fine to????

Most likely, the second stream is only damaged at the system layer, so the easiest way would be somehow demultiplex it to recover the audio and video elementary streams, then remultiplex it.

I thought so.
After de-muxing the audio file works fine, but no programm is able to open the video data. Everytime => "illegal MPEG stream" or "not known filetype".

If I start the first file, the whole movie is shown. Seams that the second files doesn't contain sequence headers. Is there any way to fix that???
