Paul -- couple of problems
I did as you suggested and specified the output file as: *.nut
** ffmpeg associates the MPEG4 codec with this output and I want
uncompressed
** the audio stream bombs
Thanks for any help you can provide
Here is a code snippet, then screen output from ffmpeg:
=========
m_pOutputFormat = av_guess_format(NULL, filename, NULL);
m_pFormatContext = avformat_alloc_context();
m_pFormatContext->oformat = m_pOutputFormat;
_snprintf_s(m_pFormatContext->filename,
sizeof(m_pFormatContext->filename), "%s", filename);
// add the audio and video streams using the default format codecs and
initialize the codecs.
m_pAudioStream = NULL;
if (m_pOutputFormat->audio_codec != CODEC_ID_NONE)
{
m_pAudioStream = add_audio_stream(m_pFormatContext,
m_pOutputFormat->audio_codec, channels);
}
// and the abort comes from add_audio_stream
