Unable to transcode mjpeg/yuvj422p to libvpx

[Mark Rose]

I run a site with user uploaded video, and some videos fail to transcode to webm (but successfully transcode to MP4). Here is a sample command and output:

ffmpeg -y -i 449893.orig  -vcodec libvpx -b 400k -bt 200k -s 240x180 -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 96k -async 2  449893.fmt4.webm

A file recorded with a Fujifilm device, same issue.

[Mark Rose]

Same problem, third device creating file.

[Mark Rose]

I've added two new files created by different devices that also exhibit the problem, so I would think it's a general bug and not a random occurrence. I also have other files created by the Sony and Fujifilm recorders.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

I suspect this is fixed in latest git head, please test.

[Mark Rose]

The changes appear to have fixed the problem. It transcoded all my test videos okay. Thanks!!
