VirtualDub2

[jay123210599]

I noticed that sometimes .M2TS files don't work properly with VirtualDub2. The videos often glitch out and it skips some keyframes. How do I fix that, other than remuxing them into other container formats?

In the file open dialog with the "All media types" filter active (default) you will not see any .m2ts files. This is because MPEG transport stream is not fully supported for obvious reasons. Use tools that will build by analyzing the entire file (e.g. AVISynth > FFmpegSource).

How would that work, exactly?

In fact, exactly this is recommendable when working with VirtualDub2. I would probably prefer MKVtoolnix for MKV or MP4Box + some UI for MP4 as result. Or maybe Clever FFmpeg GUI.

If not, you can let e.g. StaxRip create an Avisynth script that loads the M2TS as video source with FFMS2 or L-SMASH Works plugin, if you don't dare to write that little script manually. (Note: Using L-SMASH Works, i.e. LSMASHSource.dll, you need to use LwLibavVideoSource for M2TS files to create an additional LWI index file; LSMASHVideoSource only works with ISO Base Media files like MP4, MOV, FLV, 3GPP - which already contain an index chunk.)

Yes, I have read these and similar threads and unfortunately I have no solution.

I used to work with MTS files in VDub. The preview was glitchy when seeking, but the output file was fine.
This was easily fixed with ffmpeg (ffmpeg -c copy).

Then use regedit.exe to manually find and delete all keys with old paths to VirtualDub2.
