Video conversion fails with error " Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream"

[pranav_garg]

While trying to convert a video to h264 format it fails.

The command used for converting the video to mp4 format:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib; /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -y -i /var/www/crittermedia/data/tmp/dbd6a2885ae30bf736377d6b02465fe9 -acodec copy -ar 44100 -ab 96k -vcodec libx264 -level 41 -bufsize 20000k -threads 2 -maxrate 25000k -g 250 -r 20 -s 320x240 -coder 1 -flags +loop -cmp +chroma -partitions +parti4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -flags2 +dct8x8+bpyramid -me_method umh -subq 7 -me_range 16 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -rc_eq 'blurCplx^(1-qComp)' -bf 16 -b_strategy 1 -bidir_refine 1 -refs 6 -crf 25 -deblockalpha 0 -deblockbeta 0 /var/www/crittermedia/data/videos/dbd6a2885ae30bf736377d6b02465fe9.mp4
