FFplay and FFmpeg reproducing erroneous frames from JPEG2000 MXF OP1a files

[Morgan O Morel]

Summary of the bug:

The problem occurs with the input file is a JPEG200 MXF OP1a file.

When creating H.264 MP4 with FFmpeg, or viewing the file with FFplay there are erroneous frames that appear in the output. The error typically appears as a magenta wash all over the top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right quadrant of the frame.

The error frame does not appear in the MXF when viewing it in any other software.

When viewing the MP4 in Dave Rice's QCTools (version 0.7.0) the MP4 appears to have a spike in the V channel.

Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this bug tracker.

Where can the not working input file be found ?

[Morgan O Morel]

An MXF/J2K file that causes the problem can be downloaded here:

​http://georgeblood.com/Library/01_Bad_Frame_2.24.mxf
​http://georgeblood.com/Library/01_Bad_Frame_2.24.mxf.md5

The bad frame is at 2:24

The file you uploaded is 11.5 seconds long, how can the issue be reproduced with this file?

If the file is played back using ffplay a bad frame is present at 2:24

ffplay -vcodec libopenjpeg -i 01_Bad_Frame_2.24.mxf -vf tinterlace=mode=merge,yadif=1

However, it has been discovered that the issue is with libopenjpeg and not ffmpeg.

[Morgan O Morel]

It has been discovered that the issue is with libopenjpeg and not FFmpeg.

openjpeg 1.5.1 has the bug. Building FFmpeg with openjpeg 1.5.0 fixes the issue.

Thank you for testing!
