DGmpegdec decoding error

[frankio]

I'm using DGDecode 1.3.0 with Avisynth 2.55 and I've found a decoding error in a ES video stream captured from DVB-T and demuxed with Projectx.
When trying to transcode to XviD with avs2avi 1.39 it got stuck at a specific frame. Investigating in Virtualdub revealed two white blocks in two consecutives frames.
So I cut the suspicious GOP and when saving project in DGIndex it says "video error 1".
Tried also with DGDecode 1.3.1b3 with no success.

DVD2AVI 1.76 and Mpeg2Dec3 v1.00 decode it with no problems.
I can upload the GOP if needed.

Thanks neuron2 for your work!

Yes, needed.

Thanks, frankio, for your error report and test file. It is fixed in DGMPGDec 1.3.1b4. DGIndex will still report "video error 1" because there really is an error in the MPEG2 syntax (due presumably to corruption of your transport stream). But the error recovery was not as smart as it should have been. Now you can decode it properly.

Fixed. :)

I have one more about that, not to be too pedantic,
I wonder why DGIndex says video error when saving single GOP project but nothing when saving the whole video project.

Thanks again

The Info box can be overwritten with later information. Are you watching it at just the right moment?

BTW, I traced the execution of VirtualDub MPEG2 and it hits the exact same error, but it doesn't have a mechanism to report it.

No, I watch it only when it has finished.
Wouldn't it be useful to have a brief report at the end of project creation? *FEATURE REQUEST*

I was quite sure DGIndex has nothing less than Virtualdub MPEG2.
