    Trying to export a Video of ~60mins using the H.264 Codec .mp4 which converts in AME successfully, allthough when playing back the f
    ile, it has problems after ~40mins. When i try to jump to a later point in the timeline to playback i.e. 48th minute or 50:10 or wha
    tever, the image freezes, audio continues and it takes 10-20 secs untill the video image continues.

    I tried different playback programms like VLC,Windows media etc. and different compressions 2-5Mbps as CBR and VBR1 / 2, nothing changed.

    Source is Sony DV and i have some still images as .png. Since the first 30mins work alright, i thought i try out if something with t
    he source material in the timeline is causing the problem , so i cut after the 30st minute and copied the first 30mins behind that
    to get a 60mins video, but exaclty the same playback issue after ~40th minute.

    Is this an most likely a problem caused by AME using H.264 .mp4 Codec?
    Is it simply normal behavior to catch up to the apropriate “i-Frame in GOP”?

    Other videos i did months before in the same way using the same source material worked fine. I was really curious so i checked my old converted files which are in the same format, and truly had only slighlty delays at very end but being much much shorter than the current issue i have. So that tells me something is causing it to become way worse when exported.
    I wonder whats the dirrence between the old video from months ago which plays back better than the new video, both video containt same type of source material treated the same way. Thats so strange.

    I noticed that quicktime player has the same issue but is much quicker than VLC (the delay is much shorter).

    Is there a work arround or alternative? Can it be improved?
    I need H.264 & .mp4 for webpodcast on vimeo.com

    btw. Adobe Premiere and AME is up to date!

    Appreciate your time to answer,Thanks
