text: I found two bugs for the latest version of FFMpeg project: 1. If you compile the project in Windows by using msys and MinGW library, you will get error says "undefined reference to mkstemp" in file "\libavcodec\xvid_rc.c". To fix it, just copy the way you team have done for the file "libavcodec\xvidff.c", add some codes to make Windows happy, here is the code I modified, and it got compiled and worked well: #ifdef CONFIG_WIN32 /* Ugly work around */ { char *tempname; tempname = tempnam(".", "xvidrc"); fd = -1; if( tempname && (fd = open(tempname, _O_RDWR | _O_BINARY)) != -1 ) { tmp_name = av_strdup(tempname); #undef free free(tempname); #define free please_use_av_free if( tmp_name == NULL ) { av_log(s->avctx, AV_LOG_ERROR, "XviD: Cannot allocate 2-pass buffer\n"); return -1; } } } #else tmp_name= av_strdup("/tmp/xvidrc.XXXXXX"); fd = mkstemp(tmp_name); if(fd < 0){ strcpy(tmp_name, "./xvidrc.XXXXXX"); fd = mkstemp(tmp_name); } #endif 2. If you use FFMpeg to convert ".wmv" file to other formats of files, you always get some error message like "[asf @ 00665D54]ff asf bad header 90 at:78447606rate= 118.7kbits/s", and it always happen when the processing reaches to the end of the wmv file. I checked and found out lots of wmv files generated by the "Windows Media Encoder" will append some useless packets at the end of the wmv file. The regular packet start with flag "0x82", but these padding packets do not start with "0x82". And it caused trouble some times. Then I checked the file "\libavformat\asf.c", and modified the code like this. It works, when program find a packet not start with "0x82", it just return the error and terminate the process. But I don't think it is the best solution, could you please check! if (c != 0x82) { if (!url_feof(pb)) { av_log(s, AV_LOG_ERROR, "ff asf bad header %x at:%"PRId64"\n", c, url_ftell(pb)); return AVERROR_IO; } } 3. In order to convert a wmv file to a mp3 file, I tried 1. Ffmpeg -vn -acodec mp3 -ab 32 -f mp3 -y -i input.wmv output.mp3 2. Ffmpeg -y -i input.wmv -vn -acodec mp3 -ab 32 -f mp3 output.mp3 The first one didn't work, but the second one worked. Quite funny. Thanks! Dongxian Yao
