[FFmpeg-devel] error while decoding- "Too many slices"

[Hardik Sharma]

Hi guys,

While doing decoding I am getting this error of "too many slices". Even after increasing MAX_SLICE defined value in h264.h file in libavcodec of FFMPEG to 4096, it's giving the same error. I tried slice-max-size from 100 to 1000 but it is giving me same error for all. Please suggest me for what I should do. I used the following command- 


 ffmpeg -i out1.264 -vcodec rawvideo -f yuv4mpegpipe -y out.y4m
