[Ffmpeg-devel] mjpeg issue (JPEG-LS)

[Georges Le Goualher]

Hi,

I've noticed an issue when trying to play (with ffplay) or transcode 
(using ffmpeg) a MJPEG video file encoded using the Pegasus Lossless JPEG:

Pegasus compressor accepts  in particular 24 bits as well as 8 bits 
video data inputs. FFmpeg copes very well with all inputs however it 
fails with the 8 bits video data.

I've created two samples to illustrate this problem. I've put these 2 
samples within dropland: if you can't get them just let me know

The following file is a 24 bits video input data (NTSC) encoded with 
Pegasus Lossless JPEG (file size: approx. 40 MB)
http://www.dropload.com/redeem.php?t=05ca00b925927aa58ad864c4a56a2cd9

This file works great with ffplay or ffmpeg.

The following file is a 8 bits video input data (NTSC) encoded with 
Pegasus Lossless JPEG (file size: approx. 24 MB).
http://www.dropload.com/redeem.php?t=95a2fe6087413250350d516982639211

On that file the following commands crash :
ffplay sampleMJPEG-PegasusLosslessCompressor _8bits.avi
or
ffmpeg -i sampleMJPEG-PegasusLosslessCompressor _8bits.avi

As the crash of ffplay or ffmpeg is not always exactly the same (it 
seems that there's an access to a bad memory area somewhere), here are 
some additional elements I have noticed when dealing with the 8 bits file:
with ffmpeg:
