Cannot playback mpeg-2 encoded video

Hello all,

I have difficulties, when I am trying to playback mpeg-2 encoded video. I am able to see only first frame of encoded video. Video size is 5.2MB, so there sould be more than one frame. Am I using wrong video encoder parameters (wrong .PAR file)? Or maybe something is wrong with uncompressed .YUV data stream? I am purposely using original (almost 20 years old) MPEG2 encoder, because I am diving into MPEG-2 Part2 standard.

Resulting output video and statics file can be found here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vvxuxfzbr...1vFLlMGia?dl=0

The produced video should follow the PAL system standard and be displayed on computer screen.

My display specification is following:
Code:
xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected primary 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 365mm x 228mm 
1680x1050     58.79*+
1400x1050     59.98  
1280x1024     59.89
...
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Here is the setup which I used in the experimets:

Source video: uncompressed .YUV file, including in total 200 "Big Buck Bunny" .png images.
Link: http://media.xiph.org/BBB/BBB-360-png/

Following command was used in converting:
Code:
png2yuv -j big_buck_bunny_%05d.png -f 24 -I p -b 13000 -n 200 > result.yuv
Used encoder: Original MPEG-2 Encoder / Decoder, Version 1.2, July 19, 1996, MPEG Software Simulation Group,

The result.yuv seems to be OK, plays well in VLC.
The encoded clip (out.m2v) has 200 frames only it is 200 times the same frame: the first frame from result.yuv.
I don't know enough about the used encoder to help you with that.

Actually, the problem was with the raw .yuv data file. Old mpeg2-encoder didn't support RAW I420 coded video. I solved the problem by converting video stream into the separate .Y .U .V data files (200 in total).

I am interested to know, if somebody can suggest .yuv video format which is also supported by the old mpeg2-encoder..

AFAIR - just copy (concatenate) binary Y+U+V - i use this encoder in 2003 or somewhere around 2003.
Planar should work...
