Please answer that.

To find out what it could mean, of course. Heck, you could search on the 
entire message! Might turn up something useful.

Which you do not seem interested in understanding or researching on your 
own. Just like you've claimed to write in multiple assemblers and 
managed software projects but without any apparent effort to learn or 
understand other languages. If you can't be bothered to learn some new 
things, like enough 'c' to read some of the code, or can't be bothered 
to use the various search engines (or even to read the doc), why should 
any else be bothered to answer your ill-formed "questions"?

What do you think? Why does it matter? If the demuxer outputs that, then 
that's probably how the pipeline will start. Note that libav may 
invisibly insert scalers as needed to connect filters (that's in the doc).


ffmpeg may be "quirky", but that's not going to change. Live with it or 
don't use it.

z!
