practica dvc 5.2 fhd camcorder (avi files)

[Lou Logan]

Please include your full ffmpeg command and the complete ffmpeg console output. I suspect you are using a very ancient ffmpeg build, but I can only guess without seeing the required information.

If you use the “code” button on your command and the console output text it will be easier to read.

-y -i [input_file] -b 7600k -r 29.97 -ab 128k -ar 48000 -ac 2 [output_file]

Unfortunately, you did not supply the complete ffmpeg command and the complete ffmpeg console output. ffmpeg will always include its version information and how it was configured which is just as important as the rest of the output.

If you use the “code” button on your command and the console output text it will be easier to read. Like this:

ffmpeg -i input ... output

[Reuben Martin]

It’s failing because the input streams are garbage. (Or the build of ffmpeg you are using is broken)

I’m not really sure why you are re-encoding anyway. Those stream formats (h264 and aac) from the source are perfectly valid for mov files. Just remux them.

ffmpeg -i input.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mov output.mov

[Lou Logan]

[Reuben Martin] “(Or the build of ffmpeg you are using is broken)”

Very likely. Usage of libfaad as a decoder is not a good sign. That was removed from FFmpeg several years ago. At the rate of FFmpeg development the chance of encountering a known or fixed bug is high with such an ancient version.

[Jacek Ryś]

i switched to latest static win32 build. yeah, that remux settings work 🙂

ffmpeg -i input.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mov output.mov
