> <jenster> I found a bug in libavformat/dhav.c where it fails to demux files > INT_MAX. It's basically assigning the result of avio_skip (which returns an int64_t file offset) to an int in two places which it then checks if it's less than 0 and when the file is bigger than INT_MAX it overflows and becomes negative and errors out (this seems like something
> <jenster> that static analysis should find). It's a two line fix (basically just change two ints to int64_t) https://pastebin.com/iUGe9cza (licensed CC0). Would anyone be able to  submit this change or fix it their own way? I don't care about credit and I really don't want to bother with the whole patch submission process for this trivial change.

Will apply later today unless there are objections.
