Description

Encoding mjpeg stream crashes. I do not have repro which I can share.
But I was able to find one commit which breaks the encoder.
My starting good version was 2.4 and breaking version 2.5. Then I used git bisect and found this commit:

Revision: 1441641d786a2deecae49c6dc2979af8791ce962
Author: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
Date: 29-Sep-14 5:42:59
Message:
avcodec/mpegvideo_enc: Allocate only a small buffer and reallocate as needed

This should reduce the memory requirement

Signed-off-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>


Modified: libavcodec/mpegvideo_enc.c


I am not that good with ffmpeg internals to be able to find the real problem with this commit.

The app crashes with access violation. It writes to memory which is not allocated. The stack points to avcodec library.
