I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-p3 or 4, and an up to date ports tree, My ffmpeg is version 2007.07.12_3. During the process of conversion ffmpeg core dumps, being not a programmer i do not know what to do about it and would appreciate any suggestions. The specific cmdline i'm using is: ffmpeg \ -i ${VIDEO}.avi \ -pass 2 \ -target ntsc-dvd \ -aspect 4:3 \ ${VIDEO}.mpg The first time i ran this i got the msg: ffmpeg2pass-0.log: No such file or directory googling revealed to run first pass 1 then rerun with pass 2, this seemed like a long way, but i did it. When running with pass 1 that's when it core dumped. The log file created is empty. Output during the conversion process seems to indicate that this avi has no frames, audio, or video, but i know this to be incorrect, i ran a transcode on it for over a day got output and finally decided it was going to slow. I am open to suggestions, any additional information needed, i do have a copy of the .core file, and a typescript of the entire conversion process, anything else let me know. Thanks. Dave.
