Subject: BUG Report: Stuck wma->mpeg1 conversion with mencoder using cvs as
of 10 minutes ago

Other wma8 issues are where video output stops for a second or two while
audio carrys on then either the stuck frame starts to move about as the new
images merge in till a key frame, or we then get a load of frames played
very quickly as it tries to catch up

--- original message ---

Full system details at the end of this report

I have a section of a live wma8 stream which causes mencoder to get
stuck at 100% cpu usage when converting to mpeg1video

I discovered this tracking down why http://www.byutv.org/byutv250.asx
kept hanging when playing to dxr3

I recorded to disk and extracted a sample bad clip 2MB using
mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -endpos ......
this bad clip is available at http://www.liddicott.com/bad2.asf

If you try and convert to mpeg1 (as happens when playing to dxr3) with:
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video -o bb.avi bad2.asf

Then after a while it stops outputting and "top" shows 100% cpu on
mencoder

It is worth noting that this wma8 stream is new-ish and has 0 length
frames (mplayer was recently patched for this) and may well have other
strange and new things in it.
