Batch File add detect failure at 99% only on new Aust FTA H264 .WTV files....

Hi,
As the title says; Australian FTA channels have only just started to broadcast in H264 format (see vid info screen shots).
When queuing these to add detect in batch manager they look and take the time like they are detecting fine but they fail when they get to 99% and batch manager just stalls there (see screen shot).
I have to manually abort the file (high light > X button > yes to confirm)to free up and move on to next file.

I have tried cutting a 6 min portion either side of and including adds and then tried to scan this portion with the same stall.

Win 7 SP2 VRD v5.1.2.731
Log file attached with 1st success on mpg2 broadcast; 3 fails with H264 broadcast; 5th success mpg2 broadcast (nb the long 3+ hour stretch in the timing; that's when i woke up and decided to abort that file as well as the next 2.)
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Try the beta, as it might have a fix. If that doesn't work try running the same file in the main UI and see if it throws any sort of error when running ad scan. The batch manager is basically just using an hidden version of VideoReDo to run the scan, so if there is a problem with the main UI then the same problem would apply in batch.

FYI: We're currently working on a new version of ad scan that works as an output routine rather then working in the UI like the current version. It should be more reliable then the current version and will allow us to expand the functionality in the future to include things like audio levels, bug detection, etc... It should show up in a beta in a month or so.

I love the way you guys are always so quick to respond to our problems...
My solution; i still have a v4 installed side by side with a v5, these wtv h264 files can be add detect in batch manager successfully with that version, then the resultant vprj files can be opened in the v5 and checked and edited.
Thanks.

If you wouldn't mind running the ad scan in the UI just to see if it has an issue there as well I'd appreciate it. If there is an issue with v5 we'd like to fix it.
