[HELP] Hybrid is not loading GoPro videos
#1
Windows 10
rev 2025.05.18.2


For some reason Hybrid is not loading files from GoPro8 (H.264 and H.265). Others video files can be imported. 

I'm getting following message (attached) 
   


Example file:

Bitstream parsing ran out of data to read before the end of the syntax was reached, most probably the bitstream is malformed (frame 1+[3..4]+[7..8]+11, time 03:49:37.931+[03:49:37.964..03:49:37.981]+[03:49:38.031..03:49:38.048]+03:49:38.098, offset 0xE4320+[0x111CA9..0x122952]+[0x16428B..0x17BACD]+0x1C2CDE) Codec configuration box : hvcC
That sounds like a corrupted source.

MediaInfo fails to read the content and probably (you didn't share proper details, like requested in the sticky) aborts with an error code. Hybrid then probably assumes the source is broken.

I would suggest to remuxing the file using mkvtoolnix or ffmpeg and assuming those can remux the file use the remuxed files as input.
I those fail too, the file seems broken.

Thank you for your reply. 

I don't think that the input files are corrupted. They come directly from two different GoPro cameras. Besides, I can open them in other software with no issues. 

I'll provide more details in the evening as per instructions in the sticky.

Definitely the  MediaInfo fails to read the file but I have to idea why. I remember using older versions of Hybrid in the past with the same files (from the same camera) with no issues.

Problem is if MediaInfo can't handle the file it's likely that neither can Hybrid.
Can you share a small sample of such a file?

I was able to solve that problem by downloading the most recent version of MediaInfo.exe and replacing it in the Hybrid folder. After that I can import GoPro files without issues

Ah, good to know that fixed it.
Thanks for the info.
