Converting .TS to .MP4 results in freezing/lost frames

[bobsage123]

Build 2.7.8

I'm using the copy output option and haven't tweaked any other settings. I notice that every few seconds I get a quick stutter in the output video that didn't exist in the original TS. I then checked statistics while running the video in mpc hc and it is showing multiple dropped frames every few seconds.

Any idea on anything I can tweak to correct this problem?

If the problem persists with the latest nightly, please provide a short sample (the first 100-300 MiB) of the original MPEG-TS file using WeTransfer (no email address required!), Mega, Dropbox or Google Drive if the video is innocuous enough. Don't use any tools which try to parse the content of the file to cut the file!

I then checked statistics while running the video in mpc hc and it is showing multiple dropped frames every few seconds.

Most video players would drop frames if they get behind with decoding the video track, so this is not a criterium. Still, I'd like to have a look at the source TS file to assess the situation.

Upon further inspection there is something wrong on the .TS end. I will try to get a "good" .TS file and try the conversion again. I don't expect any issues but I will let you know.

Just cut away the end (with a tool similar to head). Does this make the problem disappear?

It was an issue with my download manager corrupting the file in the DL process. After that was sorted out, no issues.
