Fail to generate DVCProHD in MXF

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Command line as below.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to be able to write a DVCProHD-coded file in MXF wrapper.

I'm not quite sure what ffmbc is unhappy with, is it the video or audio tracks? 
 (I find the error output from ffmpeg/ffmbc to be quite unhelpful in general.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FFmbc version 0.7-rc7
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Please provide any additional information below:

- Full commandline run (with -v 3) and everything the program printed
without
the repeating parts.

Humm yes that's a bug, in the mean time you can specify -acodec pcm_s16le 
before the output file.

There are some further problems as well, I don't manage to create progressive 
output.  For the same input files as above (and note that the input is 
progressive), I run the following command:

ffmbc -t 2 -v 3 -ss 60 -i elephants_dream_1080p24.y4m  -ss 60 -i 
ED-CM-5.1-DVD-C.flac  -ss 60 -i ED-CM-5.1-DVD-L.flac -ss 60  -i

Is there any magic option I have to give to get progressive output?

Original comment by k...@vizrt.com on 4 Apr 2012 at 2:01

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I don't know how media info decides wether it's interlaced or not.
The MXF is marked as progressive, maybe mediainfo assumes DV is interlaced.
Regarding NTSC that's a bug that will be fixed in the next rc.

Original comment by baptiste...@gmail.com on 5 Apr 2012 at 6:26

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have uploaded a DV file that mediainfo does recognise as progressive, perhaps 
you can see if it has some magic bit set somewhere:
