Hi, I'm struggling a lot with a rtsp input stream that I try to save as mpegts without reencoding. Using the exact same command, it sometimes run well, but often crashes right from the start. The only difference I see between a successful and a failed run are the two lines: [mpegts @ 0x4ddfa60] AAC packet too short av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid data found when processing input So I guess I'm getting malformed packets, do you have any idea of a workaround here? Does it have to do with pts? Thanks! ######## FAILED RUN /opt/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -analyzeduration 5000000 -probesize 5000000 -i 'rtsp://my-input' -map i:1001? -map i:1002? -map i:1003? -map i:1004? -map i:1005? -map i:1006? -map i:1007? -map i:1008? -map i:1009? -map i:1010? -map i:1011? -map i:1012? -map i:1013? -map i:1014? -map i:1015? -map i:1016? -map i:1017? -map i:1018? -map i:1019? -map i:1020? -codec:a copy -map 0:v -codec:v copy -to 00:00:30 -f mpegts -y out.ts ffmpeg version 3.2.4-static http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ Copyright (c) 2000-2017 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 5.4.1 (Debian 5.4.1-5) 20170205 configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-static --disable-debug --disable-ffplay --disable-indev=sndio --disable-outdev=sndio --cc=gcc-5 --enable-fontconfig --enable-frei0r --enable-gnutls --enable-gray --enable-libass --enable-libfreetype --enable-libfribidi --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopus --enable-librtmp --enable-libsoxr --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvo-amrwbenc --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libwebp --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxvid --enable-libzimg libavutil 55. 34.101 / 55. 34.101 libavcodec 57. 64.101 / 57. 64.101 libavformat 57. 56.101 / 57. 56.101 libavdevice 57. 1.100 / 57. 1.100 libavfilter 6. 65.100 / 6. 65.100 libswscale 4. 2.100 / 4. 2.100 libswresample 2. 3.100 / 2. 3.100 libpostproc 54. 1.100 / 54. 1.100 [aac @ 0x4cea6e0] Multiple frames in a packet.
