[MEncoder-users] Endless loop with -hr-edl-seek

[Thorsten Pferdekämper]

Hi,
this is perhaps not that important, but it is a little but ugly, because 
mencoder stops reacting at all.
I reencoded a file with mencoder using edl and -hr-edl-seek. The file had 
sound, but the sound was a little bit shorter than the video. The edl did cut 
off the last few minutes of the video.
In this case, mencoder seems always to enter an endless loop. 
I had a close look at the coding and here is my idea why this is like that: In 
mencoder.c, function edl_seek, the loop which resyncs audio checks the 
variable a_pts. When there is no audio left (I assume), this variable does 
not change any more. Perhaps the loop should be left if a_pts stops 
changing...
Regards,
