[MPlayer-users] Bug: crash while encoding to DV

[Levente Novák]

This bug was already reported but it happens also with the current SVN
build. With the command line below (which should be valid AFAIK),
MEncoder crashes (segfaults). 


Command line:


mencoder tv:// -tv \
driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:input=2:outfmt=yuy2:width=720:\
height=576:fps=25:audiorate=48000:forceaudio:amode=1:forcechan=2 \
-vf il=d:d,scale,format=yv12,il=i:i -srate 48000 -ofps 25 -fps 25 \
-aspect 4/3 -of lavf -lavfopts \
i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames:format=dv \
-oac pcm -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=dvvideo -o video.dv

You have certified that your video stream does not contain B frames.
REMEMBER: MEncoder's libavformat muxing is presently broken and will
generate
INCORRECT files in the presence of B frames. Moreover, due to bugs
MPlayer
will play these INCORRECT files as if nothing were wrong!

[dv @ 0x87b1d08]Can't initialize DV format!
Make sure that you supply exactly two streams:
     video: 25fps or 29.97fps, audio: 2ch/48Khz/PCM
     (50Mbps allows an optional second audio stream)


Here the program segfaults. Why does it state that it can't initialize
DV format as I do supply 2ch/48Khz/PCM audio and 25 fps YV12 video? 

Levente

PS: this should be a problem with lavf as when the container is AVI,
there is no crash (but the resulting file is not DV, of course). With
ffmpeg, encoding to DV works well when specifying -target dv (does it
also use lavf?). Unfortunately it seems I can not use video filters
within ffmpeg which is vital as bttv is borked with YV12 (chroma
sampling bug) and I have to capture in YUY2.
