Hi Craig,
I have played the file on VLC,MPC,Elecard Mpeg player. It plays just fine.
Digital Rapids is the only encoder we have at the lab.
My Client provides Inflight Entertainment solutions, so he tests the video files on his hardware device.
I have previously delivered video content to him with the same above specs and it worked fine.
My client says, the only feedback he can give is there is a buffer flush, causing the 90 secs black before the video plays.
I have no idea what is causing the buffer flush, since I didnt get any buffer underflow errors when muxing.
