[FFmpeg-devel] Problems with current GIT version

[JULIAN GARDNER]

Ive been trying to get this resolved on the user mailing list, mainly with Carl, but for some reason my mail needs authorisation and it takes over a day to get 1 email into the list.

This is the message i posted a week ago!

Just upgraded to latest git and im getting a problem i never had before.

Im transcoding Channel4HD down to a lower rate but every now and then it stops sending data

On start

We then encode with no problems, but then this happens

A copy of the ts is here (93MB) http://joolzg.myetrayz.net:8080/rapidbox/rapidFileDownload.php?r_id=c9f0f895fb98ab9159f51fd0297e236d

At around the 1minute mark it switches audio and ffmpeg goes crazy

command line
ffmpeg
 -i ../fails.bin -vcodec libx264 -b:v 1500k -preset faster -s 720x576 
-acodec libfaac -b:a 128k -ar 32k -ac 2 -async 1 -map 0:0 -map 0:4 -f 
mpegts -y a.ts

Carl asked for a complete log of the output but as everything is ok up to the failure and all that happens is the last message is repeated from then on.

I did find that removing "-async 1" makes the error go away, but then we would not have audio/video sync.
