[MEncoder-users] tvi_v4l2.c

[Vladimir V. Petrukhin]

Unnecessary death of mencoder is caused by two procedures in stream/tvi_v4l2.c, athough
the normal (or about normal) continue of work is possible. When I change two listed below
code fragments to become commented or handled more carefully, I can take needed resulting
output file.

It is strange also, that mencoder downs with error "Floating point exception", but all three
guilty divisions are of integer nature.

Now the first fail place:
 from /var/log/messages:
  mencoder[13416] trap divide error ip:5e8a75 sp:7fff012839c0 error:0 in mencoder[400000+749000]

disassembled location:
  5e8a70:       8d 04 40                lea    eax,[rax+rax*2]
  5e8a73:       31 d2                   xor    edx,edx
  5e8a75:       41 f7 b4 24 c0 01 00    div    DWORD PTR [r12+0x1c0]

corresponding chunk of stream/tvi_v4l2.c/static in start(priv_t *priv)
    /* setup video parameters */
    if (!priv->tv_param->noaudio) {
        if (priv->video_buffer_size_max < (3*priv->standard.frameperiod.denominator) /
                                               priv->standard.frameperiod.numerator
            *priv->audio_secs_per_block) {
            mp_msg(MSGT_TV, MSGL_ERR, "Video buffer shorter than 3 times audio frame duration.\n"
                   "You will probably experience heavy framedrops.\n");
        }
    }


Then I comment a part of chunk above, and mencoder dies again, but now produces resulting
output file.
