Sound but no video

[Umpa]

Hi gang,

I have this video file that only plays sound, I get no video at all - now I'm going to re-encode with handbrake, but before I do I would like to know why this video will not play via boxee. Here is the info as generated via Media Inspector on my Mac. If anyone would be good enough to take a look and tell me whats going on I would appreciate it.

What no one has a clue ?

I re-encoded and it works now, I think it was the size of 2560 pixels but I'm not sure.

For the few that had an opinion, no you are wrong, the film is fortress. - you know who you are !

Good to know. Usually its a 10 bit file when you get sound and no picture, but after seeing it was 8 bit I totally missed the frame width.
