"libx264" encoding crash with 10bpc (10 bit-per-component)

Description

Summary of the bug:I was trying to convert from HEVC 10 bit to x264 8 bit and found that with -vf "scale=1280:534:flags=lanczos:dst_format=yuv420p" -vcodec libx264 -crf 18 -preset ultrafast ffmpeg crashes.
ffmpeg is static 32 bit windows build from Zeranoe.
I guess that using dst_format in such way can be wrong, but with some files it works aithout any warnings.
File that causes crash is attached.

Are you indicating that the following command line does not cause the crash?

$ ffmpeg -i "hevc10bit -dst_format yuv420p crash.mkv" -vf "scale=1280:534:flags=lanczos" -pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec libx264 -f null -

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

This indicates that the bug cannot be fixed in FFmpeg.

So, this is x264 bug and i should report it to x264 developers?

comment:3 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 7 years ago

Yes.

comment:4 by Gramner, 7 years ago

convert from HEVC 10 bit to x264 8 bit
-vf "scale=1280:534:flags=lanczos:dst_format=yuv420p"

This does not seem to do what you think it does (no idea if it's the intended behavior or not though. Actually I'm not really sure what the output from that even is). Use -pix_fmt yuv420p instead of dst_format=yuv420p and it works. Just dropping the dst_format produces 10-bit H.264.

*edit* this is not an x264 bug as far as I can see, it's FFmpeg that feeds x264 with invalid data (out-of-range pixels) which causes overflows.

Assertion failed: cost >= 0, file encoder/slicetype.c,

still happens.

comment:9 by Balling, 5 months ago

It still happens with ffmpeg -i x264assert.nut -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -an fernfwe.mp4

So... Reporting this to x264? Would be nice to know what is the value of cost at assert.

comment:10 by Balling, 5 months ago

THIS IS a bug not just in ultrafast. If you losslessly encode with libx264 using 3 presets:

ffmpeg -i x264assert.nut -vcodec libx264 -qp 0 -an somepreset.mp4

ffmpeg -i x264assert.nut -vcodec libx264 -qp 0 -preset ultrafast -an ultrafast .mp4

ffmpeg -i x264assert.nut -vcodec libx264 -qp 0 -preset placebo -an fernfweplacebo.mp4

(no, cfr 0 is not lossless for 10 bit, as High 10 profile is not lossless)
the resultant in all cases is different and different with original, though placebo is rather close.
