I just encoded about 100 hours of video for a project that streams video to various set top devices (e.g. The apple TV and Roku player). The videos are also going to be delivered to the pc.
The original video was shot with an HVX200 and captured in HD directly to the hard drive with Adobe On Location CS3. The projects were edited and then exported with Adobe Media Encoder CS3 with the following settings:
h264 AAC at 720X405 High Profile Level 4.0 Square Pixels 29.97fps 750kbs VBR - audio 192kbs 48khz
Here is a link to one of the files: http://bit.ly/902EVG
The problem
The files all play fine inside of Quicktime or the Quicktime plugin (by entering the URL into Internet Explorer for example). But, if the files are streamed on any of the Set Top Boxes or if you enter the URL into Google Chrome (HTML 5 playback), the video freezes after a short period of time (12 min in HTML 5, ~12 min on the Roku, ~8 min on the Apple TV).
On the Roku player we can see that the audio buffer fills, so we think it might be an interleave problem. But, Media Encoder CS3 doesn't have a setting for interleave.
I am hoping someone here has enough experience to help us sort out the reason they won't just play in the devices. The HTML 5 playback is the most perplexing. Thanks in advance for any help.
