Description

I am having issues with ffmpeg version 2.8.13 while trying to encode a ulaw to mp4. For more than 95% of the files it works fine, but some of the encoding process simply get stuck and the cpu load goes up to 100% until i kill the process.

Details:

  • Command line: /bin/ffmpeg -f mulaw -ar 8000 -y -i /home/recording_outbound_394485.ulaw -strict -2 /home/recording_outbound_394485.mp4
  • I am running on CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
  • On version 2.8.11 and 2.8.13 the process gets stuck with 100% cpu load
  • On version 2.5.4 the same files that cause the ffmpeg encoding process to get stuck work as expected in a couple of seconds.
  • On windows version 2.2.2 it works too and the file is encoded to mp4 as expected.

Command ran with valgrind:

valgrind /bin/ffmpeg -f mulaw -ar 8000 -y -i /home/recording_outbound_394485.ulaw -strict -2 /home/recording_outbound_394485.mp4

Unfortunatelly i can't attach the audio file (ulaw) due to client's privacy.
