negative bitrates reported when transcoding a 4k v210 file

[Steve Swanson]

Summary of the bug: when I transcode a 3840x2160 v210 clip to MP4, FFmpeg reports negative bitrates. Output seems to be fine.

How to reproduce:

./ffmpeg -i ~/videosequences/raw/Foreman_10bitYUV.mov -s 320x180 thumb.mp4

This 11 second clip is 5.6Gb. I suggest you synthesize a local clip for testing rather than have me upload it.

[Steve Swanson]

I have made local changes to correct these values, but am just now learning git.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Please provide a (short) sample.

[Steve Swanson]

I uploaded Foreman_10bitYUV_1frame.mov to incoming at upload.ffmpeg.org.

[Steve Swanson]

reasonably straightforward conversion from int to int64_t

[Hendrik]

Sadly such a conversion breaks at least the ABI and possibly even the API, so its really not that straight forward to add without a major version bump.

[Michael Niedermayer]

the negative bitrate is fixed though its N/A now, a complete fix will require a ABI/API change

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

This was unfortunately forgotten at the time of the version bump=-(

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

The container bitrate is correctly shown since c311713ca99cb0556609972ba60d3634dc96c7a0 and I fixed the codec bitrate in 040ddd27bfca5c0427a0bb68ac1b45dc374cd699
