The problem is that there is an unusual info in the file. There is

Code: Select all

General
Complete name                            : G:\TV\Shows\The Big Bang Theory\Season 07\ The Big Bang Theory - S07E02.The Deception Verification_720p.mp4
Format                                   : hvc1
Codec ID                                 : hvc1
which in fact should be

Code: Select all

Format                                   : MPEG-4 for mp4 or Matroska for mkv container
Codec ID                                 : hvc1
It could be a MediaInfo bug or wrong video coding. I can simply correct that in the UMS but I don't know if that setting belongs only to the mp4 or it could be also in the mkv videos.

well this is one of the only mp4 videos that I've used, normally I use mkv and have no problems, but also I haven't had anything go wrong with other videos before including mp4 so Idk.

Valib has committed a fix for it, but I haven't gotten around to testing it yet.

To me it seems like this is an encoding error, either by Hybrid 2014.02.14.1 or by the user of Hybrid (I'm not sure if these parameters are user specified or given as part of an application "profile"). My guess is that files with this header is very limited, and strictly speaking they aren't valid.
