 singal,so when the TV's Advertising is almost white background the problem
 is happen,but only the white background is error.

 Allow me to try again:
 Does it work with an older version of FFmpeg?
 If yes, the problem would be a regression and that would make the ticket
 important.

 > > Is the problem only reproducible if you use an external library
 (libx264) or also with a native encoder?
 > 2.I only use the libx264,and my OS is Ubuntu server version (not Desktop
 version,only console),so I can not use the TV software to watch TV(such as
 "tvtime").

 libx264 is an external library, problems that are only reproducible with
 external libraries are generally more difficult to fix than issues that
 are also reproducible without using an external library. FFmpeg should
 always come with native encoders, please test "-vcodec mpeg4"

 Please test current git head.

 But is audio necessary to reproduce the problem you see, or does the
 problem also occur if you use "-an"?

 I am not sure I understand:
 Is your problem (that the image gets gray iiuc) also reproducible if you
 remove "-s 720:480"? Or does the display only gets gray if you specify a
 resolution of "-s 720:480" in your command line?
