trying to use tracker with a 70 minute video

am trying to use tracker to track a teacher's motion through a classroom throughout a lesson of about 70 minutes. Two issues come up: when I load the video I get an errors 'the first frame is not a keyframe'. Have looked through the various threads and checked those referring to opening files, importing files, etc. Based on all that, I tried encoding in different formats, using Xuggle or Quicktime -- error persists. BUT the video does open so maybe that is not a problem?
What concerns me most - when video is open, I get only a snippet, about 20 seconds of the lesson. Where is the rest of the video? Can Tracker be used for such a long video? Are these two issues related?
