Did the movie have a frame rate of 1 000 frames per second??

<p>I have some files that when played in jwplayer the playback is corrupt.
The files are encoded to h.264 using FFMpeg and there is other files encoded in the same way that works.</p>

Corrupt video when playing through JW Player

# Corrupt video when playing through JW Player

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-05-16)

I have some files that when played in jwplayer the playback is corrupt.
The files are encoded to h.264 using FFMpeg and there is other files encoded in the same way that works.
At the moment we only use the flash version of the player.
The corrupt playback looks like this:

This problem started showing up after we did an upgrade to FFMpeg, so I haven't ruled out that it could be an encoding error.
the command used to run FFMpeg is:
ffmpeg 
    -i /home/ftp/1c8f08b7d0d9e7fa4b24066156ad50bc981497a0.mov

Seems like the framerate was the problem. JW Player seems to have problems playing videos with high framerates (like 1k).

A simple `-r 30` in the FFMpeg command seems to have solved it
