AMD screen record + h/w vaapi encode to mkv fails

Reported by: soreau Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: undetermined
Version: git-master Keywords: vaapi
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Reproduced by developer: no
Analyzed by developer: no

Description

Summary of the bug:
Trying to encode using vaapi fails if the container is mkv. With wf-recorder avformat_write_header() fails with "Invalid data found when processing input". This is a link to a email with an ffmpeg command to reproduce: https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2018-March/039090.html Changing the output format to .mp4 in the command works.

How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i input.mp4 -vf 'hwupload' -vcodec h264_vaapi -bf 0 output.mkv

output:

Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid data found when processing input
Error initializing output stream 0:0 -- 
Conversion failed!

ffmpeg version: git
built on: x86_64 linux

Keywords: vaapi added; radeonsi amd mkv removed

ff_isom_write_avcc() is returning an error, meaning the h264_vaapi encoder is either sending invalid extradata, or none at all, during init(). Apparently, the latter is the most likely case, probably due to a featureless driver.

The Matroska muxer checks the return value for errors and aborts, whereas the mp4 one ignores it and keeps going, creating a non spec complaint file that may or may not play depending on the presence of in-band headers, and how strict the demuxer is.

The observed behaviour seems intended.
