[Ffmpeg-devel] [BUG] slowness and/or memory leak with adpcm_ima_qt .mov files

[Allan Hsu]

I've run across what looks like a major memory leak caused by  
adpcm_ima_qt audio track decoding. ffmpeg output doesn't look out of  
the ordinary, but it is much slower than it should be (kind of slow  
on a PPC OS X machine, but *super slow* on a x86_64 linux machine).  
I've uploaded a sample to the FTP site as "shuffle-ima41.mov". Here  
is the ffmpeg output, killed because it was taking up too much memory:

./ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/shuffle-ima41.mov -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec  
mpeg4 -b 768k ~/Desktop/shuffle.avi
