ffmpeg 1.2 on Arch fails

[holunder2]

Hello,
the old mmffmpeg works with MakeMKV, but since the official tree supports 24 bit FLAC encoding, I want to use the normal binary from my distribution. But when I set the path to /usr/bin/ffmpeg it fails at "1,1 K": "Copy complete. 0 titles saved, 1 failed." No other message. The log is:

Code: Select all

No idea. My /usr/bin/ffmpeg works quite well for other purposes, I suspect MakeMKV expects an older version or such. Any idea? Thank you!

Probably an issue with the command-line used.

Might be nice if MakeMKV's debug log included that.

Some gross incompatibility. Please provide link to ffmpeg version/sources.

Also, in addition to 24 bit FLAC there are two additional ffmpeg fixes in MakeMKV's ffmpeg patch. One of them ("block&clean") is critical to have - without it ffmpeg randomly corrupts data when reading/writing tcp streams.

ffmpeg source and package from Arch: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ffmpeg/
I have version 1.2-2.
Good to know that your ffmpeg patch is still mandatory.
