Missing headers?!?!?!?

[TMRayfield]

I was trying to add a file to my DVD burning software, but i get an error message saying that "It has missing sequence headers before each GOP" What does this mean, and is there anyway to fix it?

Thanks in advance

How did this happend...

Which app did You used to create the files?

About the headers:

Sometimes 3rd party DVD authoring tools have problems to use SVCD or other non standard MPEG-2 files. These programs analyzes the MPEG file before processing and so they look for the first sequence header. There are two important things in this header, resolution and aspect ratio (and beside this, the frame rate also). If you are able to "fake" the authoring tool that the files seems to be DVD compatible (352x576 or 720x576 for example), regardless what they are in reality, the authoring tools will take these files as they are and they will not be (re-)converted to new files.
