mpeg2 files stutter randomly in playback on windows media player

Jan 31, 2013 8:37 AM

Hi,

 

I use Premiere Pro 5.5 at work and 6.0 at home. The following problem happens with both.

When I encode my project out to mpeg2 and play it back in windows media player, at random

parts of the video it will stutter/skip/jerk for a frame or two. I've tried every possible variable available in mpeg2

and it still does it. It also never does it in the same spot in the video when

I re-encode. When I import and watch the video in premiere pro, it plays fine. When I burn to bluray, it

plays fine. We use rushworks at our station to play commercials, and the files have to be mpeg2 and they are played

out using windows media player, so I can't just use a different file type like avi or quicktime or use a different player.

I've seen others with the same problem on message boards, but as yet, no solution. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

 

Thank You,
Virgil

    >encode my project

     

    How about project details?

     

    What are you editing, and does your project match your video?

    .

    Please NOTE that the PPro CS6 screen may look a bit different (I use CS5)

    For CS5 and later, the easy way to insure that your video and your project match

    See 2nd post for picture of NEW ITEM process http://forums.adobe.com/thread/872666

    -and a FAQ on sequence setting http://forums.adobe.com/message/3804341

    .

    When your project sequence is correct, you will not see a red line over your timeline at first import, before you do anything to the video

    Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

    You may have to get in touch with Microsoft to find out why their player sucks so bad.  (Personally I find it easier to just avoid using it.)

    The video is AVCHD Video (.MTS) and works very well with PPCS5/6. I also use P2 video files and they work fine too.

     

    Here is the info on a mpeg2 file I encoded. Is this the information that you needed?

    Thanks,

    It's the Players fault. I have the same issue on several Win 7 64bit PCs. Use VLC or another reliable player.

    It just dawned on me that I forgot to mention that I also use a Black Magic Card to output.

    Make an export without the BM card. See how that turns out.
