Description

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.user/48560
Using 2-pass ffv1 encoding leads to very large log files, for movie-length samples, the log file is too large to be read:

$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -pass 1 -vcodec ffv1 -t 3600 -f null -
$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -pass 2 -vcodec ffv1 out.avi

Could not allocate file buffer
Error reading log file 'ffmpeg2pass-0.log' for pass-2 encoding

Work-around is to use -max_alloc but this fails for longer samples:

$ ls -l ffmpeg2pass-0.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 cehoyos users 2965860816 Oct 24 13:39 ffmpeg2pass-0.log
$ ffmpeg -max_alloc 3000000000 -f lavfi -i testsrc -pass 2 -vcodec ffv1 out.avi
