Guys, although the current version of ffmpeg doesn't crash there are many previous reports about bugs and crashes. i have never encounterd this though i have encounterd corrupt uploads that have caused some strange behavior but never ffmpeg crashes. Posted: Tue 13 Jan '15 15:58 Post subject: And with a max attempt number of 5 when it hits 5 attempts if on the final attempt it does not work it marks it as failed. I used it as a good way to fix my application to start marking information outputs as a single attempt since with ffmpeg the information output will never crash. Try convert it in ffmpeg it will most likely crash depending on what command line you use compared to me.

Also note that, as I understand it, some video codecs will only work with some audio codecs and different codecs and containers have different restrictions (like video having to have dimensions of multiples of 16 pixels etc). It’s also worth noting that ffmpegX, an OSX GUI front-end for the ffmpeg utility, also has barrel loads of trouble delivering a muxed video with almost any combination of codecs and containers - so don’t assume Blender is necessarily at fault here. In fact, I’m pretty sure you can have a Quicktime/XVid movie. Always have a tried and tested backup plan in place - like virtualdub, iMovie, QuickMix, Mpeg2Stream, QTPro, etc…Īs for Xvid vs QT - one is a codec, the other is a container so I don’t think it’s a fair comparison. When you have a deadline though, you should not be relying on new features. I tried the VCD shortcut and got a multiplexed (audio+video) render - and I got this out of Blender 2.44 for OSX which, technically, does not even have ffmpeg working (I noticed it by accident in the list of options). (EDIT: I see these codecs were requested - so ignore that comment.)

So there’s no real need to be looking at high-quality, difficult codecs just to get a submission video.

In fact, the old 10secondclub would only accept MPEG1 submissions at a dictated size. In animation challenges, the quality of the render should not matter.
