[FFmpeg-user] Why is length and bitrate zero?

[Michael Heuberger]

Hi Carl

Nice one.

The first command

$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=d=10 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec libvpx out1.mkv

resulted into a video whose length is 00:00:10 but with a bitrate of 0
kbps (says my SMPlayer)

The second command is exactly the same. Defined length 00:00:10 but zero
bitrate on the SMPlayer.
