Make mpg movie seekable

I'm not shure how to ask this in English so sorry if it's hard to understand my question.
I have a Bourne-movie captured from TV with Myth. I edited and transcoded it with Myth to remove commercials and keeping the highest quality possible. Now I have a .mpg file. When I play it on my Android tablet I can not resume from where I left and I can not fast forward.
Can I "index" the movie in some way without loosing quality? I have tried to run mencoder -idx and mencoder -forceidx whitch rendered an unplayable movie both with MPlayer and the movieplayer on my tablet. I also tried ffmpeg -i <mymovie> -vcodec copy -acodec copy <mynewmovie> to see if it wrote something in to the new file.
I have searched for a ffmpeg option to create some kind of timeline or index but I haven't found any.
It's an mpeg2 stream.

That didn't do it. Unplayable on tablet after opening with VLC. It stops playing after a few seconds and when it plays it is really choppy.
When I play another Bourne-movie captured and edited the same way as the one in my first post I get this output from MPlayer:

  • I can make a mov OK but got wrong framerate for avi

    Hi,
    I modified the jpegtoMovie.java to generate a avi file.
    I set up a int[] buffer to store the rgb values and stream it out
    to a file. When the format is QuickTime, everything is fine, however
    when I changed to AVI format, the windows media player played it really
    fast. Windows shows it got a framerate of 1000 and a duration of 0.
    I tried to modify the data source to return a duration other then unknown, but it doesn't work.
    Any one got any ideas? Attached is the source
    Thank you!

  • MPG movies & background

    We have hundreds of movies for our website, each one is viewable only by clicking on the individual file, which is MPG.  Each movie opens in a new window and displays a white background.  Is it possible to have all of the MPG movie files have a custom background color?  Not sure if possible?
    thank you for any help! 

    Ignore post #5. I tried to fix it but the forums went down and now I cannot edit it...
    okay. Here's some experience in 3 easy steps...
    Create a new PHP file for your site. Save it as "play.php". Design it any way you want. Make a background, add menus, graphics, whatever. Drag the QuickTime element into the page and link the video file it should play as "mymovie.mpg".
    Now go into source view and change any instance (at least two places) of "mymovie.mpg" to "<?php echo $_GET[movie]; ?>"
    Now go to every video link you have in your site and change the link from something like http://www.mysite.com/video1.mpg to http://www.mysite.com/play.php?movie=video1.mpg This could be done on thousands of files with a global find/change from http://www.mysite.com/ to http://www.mysite.com/play.php?movie=
    (be careful that you are only changing the URL for video links; a general find/change of http://www.mysite.com/ on all links to something else will blow up your site)
    A PHP file is no different than a regular web page... except that you can add PHP tags. The only PHP tag that you are adding is <?php echo $_GET[movie]; ?>
    This PHP takes the movie variable passed in the URL /play.php?movie=video1.mpg and inserts it into your HTML.

  • Mpg movies stops every 7 seconds

    Recently, every time I try to play an mpg movie on QuickTime, the movie stops every 7 seconds approx.
    This started not long ago, and before that, all mpg movies played perfectly. I'm not aware of having made any changes in the QuickTime preferences or any other QuickTime feature. Is this a problem of the player or of the movies I have?
    I already re-installed QuickTime, but the problem is still there.
    macmini   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to repair the broken time
    code in the .mpg file.
    Ok guys, thanks. The files didn't seem to have any broken timecode, so the app didn't make any changes to the files, but I exported the video to QuickTime and that solved the problem -although it took forever-.
    Is there any faster way to do it? Anyway, it helped a lot to know about the Streamclip app. Thank you again.

  • Making a usable MPG movie

    I am using Final Cut Express and Toast 7 Titanium. I have what should be a simple task - making an MPG movie that can play cross-platform and on Windows Media Player. I have exported this every way I know how, and virtually nobody can play an MPEG-4 movie. I need to know what software or what process I need to go through to make an MPG movie that can just play on normal players.

    Can you export as a MPEG1 file? While not the most visually stunning, it will play on almost anything.
    A number of people use the Flip4mac plugin to generate .WMV files that will play quite well on Windows Media Player 9.
    good luck.

  • How do I make multiple movies look like one?

    I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
    small flash animation. The final published flash file is
    approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
    CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
    very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
    movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
    is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
    (to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
    without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
    multiple movies look like one?
    Thank you.

    Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
    next movie?

  • HELP! How to import .mpg movies from a photocamera?

    I'm trying to import mpg movies in Imovie, but it doesn't accept this format. I also tried to convert it to a mp4 file, but they are low res and I need high res (tv use).
    Please help me out!
    Thanks!!!

    I'm trying to import mpg movies in Imovie, but it doesn't accept this format. I also tried to convert it to a mp4 file, but they are low res and I need high res (tv use).
    MPEG Streamclip (free) will convert MPG (multiplexed MPEG-1) files. As to resolution, you can re-scale the files during the conversion process but it merely increases the conversion time without improving quality. iMovie "08 automatically re-scales project files for display/export.

  • How do I combine several clips to make one movie?

    The iPhone 6 doesn't have a video pause button (ingenious) so I recorded several clips.  I downloaded these clips to iMovie and put them all in one event.  When I play the event, the video jumps a little every time it goes from one clip to the next.  Is there a way to combine the clips to make one movie that doesn't have those jumps.  Thanks!

    Thanks for your response.  I already figured this out but was unable to post a reply sooner.  I just figured out that you can't reply when you are in private browsing.  Another Apple glitch.  Regarding this issue, in typical Apple fashion, the products can be confusing to use, the user manuals are poorly written, the help menus, many times, aren't very helpful, and the product development decisions can be baffling.
    In the case of video-making and editing, Apple has hit the triple-crown: First, the iPhone 6 video recorder doesn't have a pause button; Second, in iMovie, you CAN'T combine separate clips; And third, again in iMovie, you can't download clips directly from iPhoto - you have to move the clips out of iPhoto first.  By the way, iPhoto is the default location when clips are uploaded to iCloud.  Unbelievable! 
    For any first-time user reading this, a project is a movie or a trailer.  And even when you are in a project, you can't combine separate clips.  You can only combine a clip that was separated back to the clip it was separated from.  Thanks, Karsten, for taking the time to respond.

    An alternative is to publish your movies to Vimeo and embed the movie in your page. These movies can play full screen.
    Or use DivX of Flash Video.

  • How do i make two movies from one clip?

    i have imported a clip from my camera.
    i want to make two movies. one is pretty much the entire clip, but one is only a portion of it. how do i retain the integrity of the complete clip while making edits?

    you should copy the clip (edit>copy) from the project that has the clip as its whole, save and close that project, then make the new one that needs to be only a portion of your clip, paste the clip (edit>paste), and edit it. this is either the answer to your questoin, or i dont understand your questoin.

  • How to make a movie of a presentation keeping audio and pictures in sync

    How can I synch slides and audio (the audios are different lengths) in a presentation and turn it into a video.
    Each slide should stay in place until the audio has finished (the audio's are slightly different lengths).
    I've tried using a free trial of "Adobe Presenter" but I couldn't seem to make a movie of my presentation.
    I will consider purchasing the software that will do this for me as I have  a few presentations I want to make and convert to movie format for my colleagues to watch (this is to help in a teaching environment).
    Is there a program that will let me match up my audios and slides in the correct order and synch them so the audios do not move beyond the slide for which they are intended? Any help much appreciated with this problem.

    Hi,
    The slide duration in presenter is automatically adjusted according to the time of the audio inserted on that slide.
    How are you inserting audio on slide ? Recording or inserting  using presenter option ?
    You cannot create a movie format like avi, mp4 etc
    But you may publish the presenttaion in the swf format which will play in a browser or a swf player. To play in the broswer you just need to have Adobe Flash Player installed on your system. It will play like a movie in the broswer.
    Let me know if you need some more help
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?

    Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?
    I am using Acrobat X Standard to "highlight" lines using comments lines at 12pt width and 50% opacity on DWG files converted to PDF.  The opacity setting makes the text and lines readable behind the highlighting, but the colors do not print well.  Moving the highlighting behind the existing text and lines would allow me to use 100% opacity with more vibrant colors.
    Before, we highlighted by hand, but those colors do not scan or copy well.  Digitizing the highlighting is cleaner, and can be edited without starting over.  The "comments" lines can be applied by Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Standard, and Acrobat Pro, so there's an advantage.  Even more important is that the average file size of an 11x17 print that is highlighted and scanned in color is 1000 KB, while doing it this way, they tend to be 100-150 KB, and the text remains searchable. If there's another system that people use, I'm open to that instead.  I haven't looked in to doing the highlighting in AutoCAD.
    Naturally, everything I'm doing is protected, and cannot be shared, sorry.
    Thanks.

    No, that's not really an option.

  • .mpg movies mount S L O W L Y ...why?

    Here's a question I've wanted to ask for what seems like years.
    When I attempt to open a Quicktime .mpg movie (either mpeg-1 or mpeg-2), from CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or the hard drive, the drive spins up, then slows...and the movie takes FOR-EVER to mount...the bigger the movie, the longer the wait.
    Why is this?
