#3811: Misleading error when segmenting H.264 bitstream to MPEG-TS -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: slhck | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Version: git-master | undetermined Keywords: | Resolution: Blocking: | Blocked By: Analyzed by developer: 0 | Reproduced by developer: 0 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by slhck): Replying to [comment:6 heleppkes]:
It should probably be documented that for mpegts you want the ssegment muxer, if its not documented properly somewhere already and you just didn't find that.
The documentation mentions that:
stream_segment is a variant of the muxer used to write to streaming output formats, i.e. which do not require global headers, and is recommended for outputting e.g. to MPEG transport stream segments.
Perhaps if we'd replace "recommended" with "necessary", it'd be more obvious that you need the ssegment muxer. It honestly took me a while to find the source of the error although I think I'm quite experienced with the tool. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3811#comment:7> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker
