[Ffmpeg-devel] [BUG] mandatory mp3 codec

[Christian Bienia]

Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is really a bug, but it seems that ffmpeg
refuses to work if it hasn't been compiled with mp3 support. I tried to
create a simple test video with no audio, but ffmpeg complains about
missing audio codec parameters. The exact command I use was:

ffmpeg -i 02350.png test_640x360_1.mov

The output I get is:
