ogv transcodes have broken audio tracks with ffmpeg2theora 0.29 (Trusty upstream)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

example broken ogv transcode output

ogv transcodes of files with audio have broken audio tracks with ffmpeg2theora 0.29...

Depending on the player, either the video plays silently (Chrome) or it sort of explodes and stops immediately (VLC, ogv.js).

Tested on Mac OS X with libav 10.2 & ffmpeg2theora 0.29 installed via Homebrew.
Tested on Ubuntu Trusty (MediaWiki-Vagrant) with libav 9.13 and ffmpeg2theora 0.29 from distro packages.

Example command line as derived from wiki debug logs:

ffmpeg2theora '/srv/images/3/3f/Jarry_-_Métro_de_Montréal_(640×360).ogv' -V '160' -F '15' -a '-1' -H '44100' -c '2' --no-upscaling --keyint '128' --buf-delay '256' --width '284' --height '160' --aspect '284:160' -o out-160p.ogv

Note you can get that particular source video from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Jarry_-_M%C3%A9tro_de_Montr%C3%A9al_%28640%C3%97360%29.ogv

ffmpeg2theora 0.29's console output on Ubuntu Trusty:

I've got a patch in progress to optionally use avconv/ffmpeg instead of ffmpeg2theora to produce the .ogv transcodes; it seems to work on Trusty, but still testing on more files.

Resetting to new, as that's more a work around then a fix to the underlying issue.

I've found that on Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid and Debian Jessie ffmpeg2theora crashes outright rather than giving the reams of error messages about resampling.

Can work around it there by removing the audio sample rate constraint option (-H) ... this may bump some output files up from 44.1 to 48kHz... but that workaround doesn't seem to fix things on Trusty. Sigh.

I tried this on trusty with ffmpeg2theora 0.29 from debian and an updated ffmpeg from T103335: Investigate impact of switching from ffmpeg to libav (ffmpeg is not in Jessie), with -H it similarly crashes, however without it I'm able to generate and play the file

Ok I've got a provisional patch for ffmpeg2theora master, which gets a local build of ffmpeg2theora working in MediaWiki-Vagrant for me. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ffmpeg2theora/+bug/1483861

nice! I've uploaded ffmpeg2theora_0.29.0~git+20150813-1 to our trusty repository, with that I was able to convert the video above too! Please give it a try
