[FFmpeg-user] Changing frame properties not supported error out of no where?

[Joey Leone]

Hi,


I have a centos 5.8 setup that has been running a video encoding script and converting videos from a few different formats to .mp4

Out of no where (meaning no mods or changes to ffmpeg or the server, it was just encoding videos) i noticed all the videos outputted to .mp4 had audio but NO video.

Running the ffmpeg command the script executes manually showed me this error:


[buffer @ 0x135ee20] Changing frame properties on the fly is not supported.
    Last message repeated 1238 times


here is the command im running:

ffmpeg -i "/home/test3.flv" -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_medium -crf 24 -y -v 0 -bf 16 "/SQLrd10/test333.mp4"

and the output is above.

ive tried lots of different variations of the ffmpeg command (all using -vcodec libx264 ofcorse) and i tried lots of different input videos (videos from the past that 100% have converted properly as i still have the logs and the proper .mp4 output).

 I must use this version of ffmpeg as my developer complied it and tested the switched used when ffmpeg is called. (its been running great for about a year now, lots of videos, no problems at all, server has 324 days of uptime even.)
