Seems that it is at the end of the video. Unfortunately, the video is also
unreadable for the last a few seconds. No matter where I tried to crop from,
the error is alway waiting for me. I will do further search on collecting
readable
stream. Thanks for the guidance!

I was looking for some data like colour space and pixel format. While I
actually have the value as I have some completed media files from the same
source.

Thanks a mill for this tip! TBH this is the first time I contact with this
posting
method. It is cool! While it's not easy to manually format the text so
hopefully I can
find a tool to help.

Also sorry for the mail title format! Will correct the next time :)
