[FFmpeg-user] Video processing stopped prematurely on resolution change

[Martin Ždila]

Even simpler example to reproduce the problem using just one file from the
referenced tarball:

ffmpeg -y -i b.webm -filter_complex "
  color=color=black:size=320x240 [bg];
  [0:v] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,
scale=320x240:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease [main];
  [bg][main] overlay=x=160-overlay_w/2:shortest=1" \
-c:v libx264 -preset slow output.mp4


It seems that ffmpeg has pretty much a problem with videos changing its
dimension. For example this will only show single frame:

ffmpeg -y -i b.webm -i logo.png -filter_complex "
  color=color=black:size=320x240 [bg];
  [0:v] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,
scale=320x240:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease [main];
  [bg][main] overlay=x=160-overlay_w/2:shortest=1 [tmp];
  [tmp][1:v] overlay=shortest=1" \
-c:v libx264 -preset slow output.mp4


This even uses the video not changing its dimenstions, but the result is
like 1 FPS and there are many messages in the logs "[Parsed_overlay_8 @
0x1cf2500] [framesync @ 0x1cf25e8] Buffer queue overflow, dropping.". Also
the same video used on both sides is not even synced:

ffmpeg -y -i a.webm -i logo.png -filter_complex "
  color=color=black:size=640x240 [base];
  [1:v] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [logo];
  [0:v] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,
scale=320x240:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease [left];
  [0:v] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,
scale=320x240:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease [right];
  [base][left] overlay [tmp1];
  [tmp1][right] overlay=x=320+160-overlay_w/2 [tmp2];
  [tmp2][logo] overlay" \
-c:v libx264 -preset slow -c:a aac -t 30 output.mp4

Replacing a.webm with b.webm makes encoding so slow that i doubt it will
ever end (CPU is at 0%).

Do you think I should report is as a bug?

PS: version info (is in the debug log in the tarball as well):
