AIFF playback/Transcode failure

[DeShizz]

Summary of the bug:

ffmpeg fails when attempting to transcode certain AIFF files with the four letter .aiff extension (using Zeranoe's static 32bit build).

The file used in the transcoding process is available here: ​https://www.dropbox.com/s/i58yu1qunn3jykj/01%20Boom%20Boom%20Pow.aiff

The above file was created using dBpoweramp and tagged using Pa-Software's ID3 Editor.

I will conduct further tests with different files if need be.

How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -i 01 Boom Boom Pow.aiff -ab 320k 01 Boom Boom Pow.mp3

Regression since c68a8a13

Fixed by Peter Ross in 5331773c - thank you for the report!

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

I was unable to backport the fix for this ticket to release/1.2, what I had committed broke fate.

[Hendrik Schreiber]

The fix works with the provided test file, but I'm under the impression that it's not a universal fix.

I tested against ​https://www.dropbox.com/s/8l9oa1595wd3j43/Apache.aif

Using the static 64-bit build from ​http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-20140727-git-ad91bf8-win64-static.7z, I got this:

The same build works fine with the original test file "01 Boom Boom Pow.aiff".

[Matt]

This bug is still present in the static binary release for mac 64bit version 2.6.3

However, it seems that all of the snapshot builds that I personally have tested appear to work just fine. I'm not sure what difference in method or practice may exist for producing these builds but it is clearly still an issue in your official release builds.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Why are you interested in a release build (there is nothing official about it)? All releases have more bugs and less features than a snapshot.
