Can somebody help me out, this one has me totally lost.

I have a clip the I've encoded using x264. I use high-profile and pretty much all the high-end options. I'm using Sharktooth's avc cqm. And just to spice it up, it's VFR. Believe it or not, these same settings usually aren't a probem.

Problem is I've got this once clip that exhibits the darndest symptoms:

When I start playing I get a flash of the first 1 or 2 frames then it goes black.
The source does in fact cut to black around the 6s mark.
The picture returns sometime before or at the point that the source comes back from black.
Really oddly, if I stop and then restart playback the first 6s play correctly with no premature cut to black.
I get the same results from nero and elecard-mainllight decoders.
I get the same effect with and without muxing the VFR timecode file
I get the same results if it's muxed into MP4, MKV, or AVI.
I get the same results in MPC and in graphedit.
I get the same results on two different computers.


Does anybody have any clue what the heck is going on?

If you'd like to take a crack at it, I've made a 1.5MB (18s) clip available at:

Your download doesnt work. I'm getting some weird info about a server error.

Happens some times with nerdswap. Some Zope error messages. Just refresh once or twice and it will get with the program.

@stephanV
Thanks for the heads-up about savefile, I'll give it a try.

@All
The problem is solved. Turns out it was a "too small initial buffer" condition that was recently enlarged in Haali's media splitter. Latest release has the problem clip playing with no trouble! Thanks to Haali for pointing out the solution: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=99666
