#9616: MediaConverter doesn't convert to OGG or MP3 and converts to WAV with video ------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: Kev | Owner: nobody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1/alpha5 Component: Audio & Video/Codecs | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 10722 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by pulkomandy): So, I got ffmpeg 0.11.5 to compile and run after a number of hacks. There are some good news: it seems it doesn't break video and audio decoding. So we could actually update to it (#8856 somehow isn't a problem anymore). But there are also some bad news: the vorbis encoding still fails. However, the error is more obvious this time. What happens is the libvorbis encoder in ffmpeg only can accept floating-point format as an input. I guess most ffmpeg encoders are designed the same. But our media plug-in doesn't propagate this information, and MediaConvert tries to feed integers to the encoder instead. ffmpeg added an explicit check for this in version 0.11, so they error cleanly, but the error isn't handled properly by our plugin and in the end MediaConvert crashes. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9616#comment:21> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
