Transcoding a file. Is this output actually an error?

Description

Hi Team,

I am trying to transcode a file. And getting the following output, while integrating with the application I am getting this as an error output. The confusion here is:

  1. Is there a problem with the audio file (attached the original one)?
  1. FFMpeg is returning a non-zero value by mistake.

I am attaching the original audio file for your reference.

Works as expected on Linux, which return value do you see (and how do you test the value on Windows)?

Yes I checked the code again the return value is coming out to be zero only. But the strange thing is why STDOUT stream is empty while STDERR is giving the output, could it be due to log levels in the FFMPEG app.

I am testing this by wrapping Java code around FFMpeg, so basically I run the java program from which I call FFMpeg internally.

Also on comparing with the standard output I found this line:

[wav @ 0000000001C5F2E0] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5120000

Is it informational or does it hold specific significance? Am going through the documentation side-by-side to figure out meaning of this line.

Replying to himanshu:

Given that FFmpeg supports pipe output, this is definitely intended.

[wav @ 0000000001C5F2E0] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5120000

Is it informational or does it hold specific significance?

It means when trying to find out the duration of your file, FFmpeg stopped after scanning more than the default size (5000000) that you can change with -analyzeduration
