[Ffmpeg-devel] output_example - "buffer underflow" messages on Darwin/PPC

[Adam Nohejl]

Hello,

I'm writing a tool that uses libavcodec/libavformat for its output.  
I've used the output_example as a starting point (BTW, thanks a lot  
for this piece of code, Fabrice, I'd be lost without it). Both my  
program based on it and the example tool itself constantly reports  
buffer underflows when encoding an MPEG (see below), but the output  
seems to be perfectly OK.

I'm testing on Mac OS X 10.4.3 / PowerPC G4 and I have the CVS source  
from 14 Dec, because I wasn't able to build the up-to-date ones  
(errors during compilations).

This is what I get:

$ output_example out.mpeg
Output #0, mpeg, to '/out.mpg':
   Stream #0.0,   nan fps: Video: mpeg1video (hq), yuv420p, 352x288,  
q=2-31, 400 kb/s
   Stream #0.1: Audio: mp2, 44100 Hz, stereo, 64 kb/s
[mpeg @ 0x45fbfc]buffer underflow
[mpeg @ 0x45fbfc]buffer underflow
(...)

That's quite annoying. What does it mean? Is there any way I can help  
to fix it?
