Same file works fine with ffmpeg. tried converting file to .H264 ( still fail). Any idea ?

Thank you

It seems that it is not directly related to your media file, but to your terminal encoding. I guess that you are not using UTF-8. However, this failure occurs because something is output on stderr. But the error will be clearer once you set your terminal to be UTF-8, if possible.

Hello Glandos, Terminal does set for UTF-8, that is the first thing i've checked.

locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

My terminal uses powerline on bash, i've tried the same command from sh, same result (failure with same message).

Thank you,

Are you sure that you are running version 2.0? The lines in your traceback correspond to an older version.

Could you also try to run this in a python shell:

import subprocess
subprocess.run(['ffmpeg', '-i', source], stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

where source is your file.

Please reopen if still needed.
