Yes, it is strange that melt plays some files but not others. It seems
to be something to do with the actual files. For example, I've got 2 MTS
files created by the same camera on the same night (in fact the clips
are only minutes apart in real time). 00011.MTS plays as expected but
00012.MTS doesn't.

Studying the FFMPEG report for these 2 files, I can see that the bad one
(00012.MTS) has the following error reported:

h264 @ 0xdf1d30]number of reference frames exceeds max (probably corrupt
input), discarding one

And that the start of input #0 is well beyond the duration of the clip:

Duration: 00:32:00.94, start: 2243.224600,

Somehow ffplay plays this file. I just tried Totem Movie Player (comes
with Ubuntu 10.10) and it plays the video but not the audio (opposite
problem to MELT).

Seems like I should be able to use FFMPEG to fix these bad files up but
I've not been able to figure out how to do this without losing quality.

Title:
  mts file missing video

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a Canon Vixia HF100 camera which produces AVCHD files (*.MTS).
  Some the files work fine and others have this problem where the audio
  plays but the video is missing (just a blank white screen). This
  occurs even before I attempt modifying it in any way.

  ffplay plays these files without issue
  melt has the issue I describe above

  Attached are some debug logs.

  OS = Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit)
  Installation Method = PPA
  OpenShot Version = 1.3.0

  CPU = Phenom II X4 965
  Memory = 8 GB
