First, we're running BTV 3.4.4 (latest build as of April 30th). The machine in question is a P4 with 512 megs of RAM and oodles of 7200 RPM HDD space.
Up until this upgrade to 3.4.4, we were able to open the mpeg files that snapstream recorded anywhere, on any other machine (e.g. mount a network share on my system, download a show from the media server, and play it locally in windows media player) with no problems at all. However, after the 3.4.4 upgrade, our video now appears to have about 1/2 the framerate of our audio when we try this. It appears that the MPEG-2 files are slightly corrupt. HOWEVER, the BTV gui has NO PROBLEMS playing back these files at all with no artifacts of any sort.
So, the files play back fine in the BTV gui, but are bad elsewhere. We're recording MPEG-2. Any suggestions? Any further clarification needed? We'll gladly post more details if you like, or maybe a sample file, if that would be useful (and if we can make a tiny enough snippet).
