I've used Virtualdub for several years now. Recently I have encountered this packet sync error on packet stream (2a606c). I am only having this problem with MPEGs and MPG files. I am also having some problems getting Windows Media Player to play these files. I think that I have a codec problem, but have no idea which one is causing the problem. Does anyone have any idea? |

Are these known good files? Or is it possible there may be errors in the stream? |

I am experiencing the same problem. I have ran MPEG-Corrector as well as just trying to open it in TMPG. The movie plays fine in Windows Media, however, I just can not get anything to convert it to AVI/BIN/MPEG anything. VCDGear started making what seemed to be segmented MPG's, however, it only did 2 (24mb, 1.11gb) I could open the first one with no problem, however, the second one did not even play in Windows Media. |

Virtualdub can not handle MPEG files ... only AVI ...

except mpeg1 files - but if they'll have errors within the stream then vd won't open your mpeg1 stream (at least just until the error occures)...
so, you should use vcdgear to fix mpeg errors and open up your repaired stream in vd for further operations

That is exactly what I did. When I found out it would not open it (and I have to open it, I am putting subtitles in it) I tried VCDGear, however, After it segments the MPG's (yes segments - I run it as fix and specify one file name it produces two. One how I specified and the second how I specified with a -01 added) Only the first one runs in windows media. So I guess, that I have to find a MPEG1 to AVI conversion program. Then try VirtualDub. Looks like everyone else is as clueless as I am why this is happening to me. If it helps this was a Multipoint download off of WinMx. |

A packet sync error sounds like a bad file, the packet header contains the vital presentation and decoding time stamp information.
If the files will play in Media Player, try AVIsynth to get into Virtualdub. |

Yes it is either corrupt or dropped frames. Vdub puts out that error for both. Have Vdub dump the audio to WAV then use AVISynth to feed the video back to it and open the WAV file for sound.  It does not work for all those types of files. If they are corrupted bad enough then more drastic measures are called for. But the method works most of the time for me. |
