mpeg-dash - Application provided duration: -16 / timestamp: xx is out of range for mov/mp4 format

[Mihai]

I'm trying to convert a aac stream to dash. The issue is that I get a lot of errors as below(though it seems to segment it into multiple files but I get errors on the player too). If I specify "mp3" or any other audio codec instead of "copy" I get the same error.

ffmpeg -i "a.mkv" -y -map 0:1 -c:0 copy -min_seg_duration 1000000

-use_timeline 1 -use_template 1 -init_seg_name init.mp4s
-media_seg_name "\$Number\$.mp4s" -adaptation_sets "id=1,streams=0"
-remove_at_exit 0 -f dash -dash 1
"out/stream.mpd" -loglevel error

Output

[mp4 @ 0x7fbb70819600] Application provided duration: -32 / timestamp: 40475608 is out of range for mov/mp4 format
[mp4 @ 0x7fbb70819600] Application provided duration: -32 / timestamp: 40764376 is out of range for mov/mp4 format
[mp4 @ 0x7fbb70819600] Application provided duration: -32 / timestamp: 40860664 is out of range for mov/mp4 format
[mp4 @ 0x7fbb70819600] Application provided duration: -32 / timestamp: 41149432 is out of range for mov/mp4 format
[mp4 @ 0x7fbb70819600] Application provided duration: -32 / timestamp: 41390056 is out of range for mov/mp4 format
[mp4 @ 0x7fbb70819600] Application provided duration: -32 / timestamp: 41823208 is out of range for mov/mp4 format

Copy to a single MP4 works just fine

ffmpeg -i "a.mkv" -y -map 0:1 -c:0 copy -f mp4 -dash 1 "out/out.mp4" -loglevel error
