It mighr be because you or ffmpeg is using uninitialized, just try to figure out. Why there is grey region in mingw.

My application also fails with mingw and work fine in linux.

I always end up with some problem in my aapplication.

If I am right then you have cmpiled ffmpeg library using mingw and your application with mingw where u have the issue.

Yes Anshul, you're right, when I use FFmpeg dll compiled with MingW with my app, I get a gray bitmap for a certain file after seeking at a particular point and then trying to decode the frame.
When doing the same thing with FFmpeg compiled with VC++2010, I do get an actual scene from the video. In both cases, my app is compiled using VC++2010.

As my app doesn't change in any way (same code base and same compiler), the difference can only come from FFmpeg (same code base, different compilers). But I guess, I'll simply definitively switch for VC++2010 even for FFmpeg as it's working better.

Cheers,

Cyril APAN.
