h264 problems - Githubissues

This issue is opened for all h264 related issues when using Flowblade.

Please comment below to provide reports of further problems or solutions.

It is likely that these issues are not Flowblade related, but instead have 
their origins in upstream codebases. I'm keeping this issue open to gain 
information so that perhaps some bug reports can be made upstream later.

Some older reports:

"yellowsblog" reports on Sep 1, 2013:

Importing h264 videos whether in mp4 or MOV container, majority of media icons 
fail to be created, (some are created, say 2 out of 25) and using the menu item 
'Recreate Media Icons' fails to rebuild those not created already.

Console says this for the h264 in a MOV container:

[swscaler @ 0x7f16999c19e0] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set 
range correctly
[swscaler @ 0x7f16b07573a0] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set 
range correctly
[swscaler @ 0x7f16b072ac40] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set 
range correctly
[png @ 0x7f16b06c89a0] Provided packet is too small, needs to be 2694248
[consumer avformat] error with video encode 0
failed to make icon from: 
/home/xeon/Thumbnails/6471ed22dd521dfa9f840b4b17da2fba.png

And this for the very same h264 file remuxed into an mp4 container:

[png @ 0x7f1698649740] Provided packet is too small, needs to be 2904152
[consumer avformat] error with video encode 0
failed to make icon from: 
/home/xeon/Thumbnails/cb73904663f5988ae0635edb23880cfc.png

Not wishing to confuse matters regarding container as I'm aware why the pixel 
formats differ, but why failure to create thumbnail.

Flowblade built from git

MLT found, version: 0.9.1

Python 2.7.4 (default, Jul  5 2013, 08:21:57)

[GCC 4.7.3]

GTK+ version: (2, 24, 17)

libpng12-0 version 1.2.49-1ubuntu2

Ubuntu 13.04 64bit

I added a couple of other libpng packages (libpng3 & libpng++-dev 0.2.5-1) and 
recompiled flowblade but still no good.

Congrats on new release and look forward to future developments. Many thanks.

I'm getting this with libmlt 0.9.2 with H264, FFV1 and Huffyuv. I've added a 
few encoding profiles to play with (FFV1+FLAC in mkv, H264 with only qp=0 + 
FLAC in mkv) but all of them are returning this result. This is a 1080p 25fps 
project.

I have found no way to render the project.

On Debian sid, libmlt 0.9.2-dmo6, libav* 2.5.2-dmo1, flowblade 0.16.
