Reviewing the As Run details for the record event can help pin point where errors may have occurred, such as if there were network issues causing dropouts in an IP feed. Watching the preview can also help pin point any issues. For record errors at the beginning or end of a file, virtual trimming (editing the offset/duration) may be used to virtually remove those sections for playouts and VOD publishing. If record errors are causing other issues, consider Transcoding the file to see if that cleans up structural issues.
