[CO-OP] Issue With Transitions on Xbox360

[tau_zero]

I've noticed a strange occurrence while watching CO-OP (HD Quicktime) on my 360. There are particular transitions that it completely craps out on every single episode. It seems to happen after each of the ads end and transition back into the show, and I think after the opening theme sequence too. It throws an unsupported codec error at these transitions. The thing is, it plays the content leading up to the transition fine, and if I restart playback and fast forward until right after the transition is complete, it plays the show content fine. This happens both streaming (OSX + Connect360 or Rivet) and playing from a USB thumbdrive.

Perhaps there's some sort of codec switch from the recurring content (ads, theme) to the show, and while the 360 can do both, it can't handle a mid-playback switch?

[chuckles]

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Do you see this with any of our other shows?

Nope, which is what's really strange. I literally just watched The Totally Rad Show, played start to finish without a single hiccup. Haven't had an issue with Diggnation or Tekzilla yet either. All of them are the HD Quicktime feed as well.

Could you give our 720p30fps version a try? Here is the link to the latest episode.

Same problem with that version.

[chuckles]

Please give this file a try.

Still does it, right after the initial advertisements and static info slide (or whatever it's called).

Doh. Okay. Hope you don't mind testing one more encode for me. Here is the link.

Latest one, coop--215--testcompressor.mp4, flawless victory. Smooth sailing through each of the transitions. You rock, man. What, out of curiosity, did you do differently with this latest encode?
