Repair mpeg-1 file?

[QQ]

Yeah, I know, this has been asked zillions times before. Yes, I know, zillions of answers were given.. I tried em all.. Nothing works :(

I have this file, which I want to convert to avi. But when opening it in VirtualDub it gives me packet sync error. It plays fine in media players though. I tried all the tricks, starting with VCDGear, then TMPGEnc MPEG Tools, eeeeeeeeverything - and nothing saves it. At best only part of it is saved.

What can I do :(

Have you tried installing vdub again??

[QQ]

lol.. you don't need to install vdub.. plus, it worked fine for other 20 files..

[jojo15]

yeah i know you don't have to install,
unrar then or unzip..
so that doesn't work?

[QQ]

uhm no

Did you try ProjectX (http://www.lucike.info/page_projectx_compiler_e.htm) or vcdcut? ProjectX is praised a lot when dealing with broken streams, I didn't use it so far.
For me, VCDCut has demuxed streams no other program would touch ...
Good luck.

Did you use GSpot to see if you have all needed codecs?

[QQ]

dude, it's mpeg, GSpot only works on avis. And I said it plays fine in media players..

Download mpeg4maker..
Use that..

have you tried converting your mpeg using graphedit?
if it plays fine in mediaplayer then it would work with graphedit

[QQ]

yes that was my final solution ;) i figured, if dshow can play it, there must be a way to dump everything.. and so it worked :)

[QQ]

if only i would remember how i did it.. cause im having almost same problem again, just with mpeg-2 this time..
