[FFmpeg-user] MJPEG encoder large memory allocation issue

[Tithi Patel]

I am using ARM processor (DM8168).
The total memory available is 256 MB.
Also, there are several other processes going on in the system like live streaming of 4 streams.

In this scenario system does not always have enough memory to support 138 MB allocation.
Thanks,
Tithi

This image has 250 x 187 macroblocks.
Currently (since nearly ten years), FFmpeg assumes a
theoretical maximum size for one macroblock of
3000 bytes (see libavcodec/mpegvideo.h line 75).
A small overhead for safety is added in
libavcodec/mpegvideo_enc.c line 1702.

Could you explain your usecase? I would assume that
on a modern system where you want to encode 4k a
100 MB allocation (that does not leak) is no
problem or am I wrong?
