H.264 bitstream malformed, no startcode found #23

Closed andlo closed 6 years ago

andlo commented 6 years ago

I get error like this when I run comcut. The error comes right after comskip is finished and found com's

/usr/local/bin/comcut --comskip=/usr/local/bin/comskip --comskip-ini=/usr/local/etc/comskip.ini --keep-edl --ffmpeg=/usr/bin/ffmpeg /MEDIA/FILM/The\ Maze\ Runner/The\ Maze\ Runner.mkv

[mpegts @ 0x152c680] H.264 bitstream malformed, no startcode found, use the video bitstream filter 'h264_mp4toannexb' to fix it ('-bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb' option with ffmpeg) av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid data found when processing input

Any Idea how to fix that ?

Sounds like it's an issue with the source video stream. You could try running it through ffmpeg first before putting it through comcut and see if that fixes it.

I could see adding a --ffmpeg-options argument to comcut which would just forward any specified options to ffmpeg. Assuming what ffmpeg spat out at you were correct in fixing your issue (adding -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb' option) it would give you a way to specify that without needing to do any pre-processing.

I probably won't have time to implement that any time soon, but if someone were to make a pull request for this I would merge it in.

Yes I I run ffmpeg first whith -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb then comcut goes fine, but takes som time though.

I would if I could add --ffmpeg-options argument to comcut but I am not hat good :(

Bu I would be glad if someone did ;)

Actually you can. No need to have a --ffmpeg-options. Just use --ffmpeg. That allows you to put in the path to a non-default ffmpeg command (like if you were using avconv or something), but you can use it to pass parameters to ffmpeg. For example, comchap --ffmpeg="/usr/bin/ffmpeg -opt1 -opt2"

Just tryed, but no luck...

Option bsf:v (A comma-separated list of bitstream filters) cannot be applied to input url /MEDIA/FILM/Tokarev/Tokarev 2018-02-24.mkv -- you are trying to apply an input option to an output file or vice versa. Move this option before the file it belongs to.
