[FFmpeg-devel] Regression with AVC-intra in MXF container

[Joseph Artsimovich]

I am using the following command-line to convert an AVC-intra MXF file 
to something else:
ffmpeg -i avci100.mxf -an -vcodec qtrle out.mov

It used to work fine but now it fails with:
...
Stream mapping:
   Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 -> qtrle)
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters 
?): Operation not permitted

I believe the "Operation not permitted" part is misleading though.


I uploaded a sample affected file [150MB] here: 
http://depositfiles.com/files/xio8n7ezj
It's from last year's MXF PlugFest and I believe it's redistributable.


Using git bisect I identified the offending commit:

commit 3e1cf49676fb2df6445000c30dc6377b808b96da

     compute_pkt_fields: do not attempt to calculate dts when the delay 
hasnt been estimated.

     Fixes ticket1242
