[Ffmpeg-devel] Subject: -acodec 'copy' fails

[Bastian Suess]

Hi,

I am trying to convert a multi-language VOB-file (from DVD)
to a single-language VOB-file (only german).

=> ffmpeg crashes

=> my command line:
> ffmpeg -i HARRY_POTTER_PHILOSOPHERS_STON1-1.vob \
  -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob harryff13.vob -map 0.0 -map 0.3

=> Output:

=>I found, that 

1) The call-path
" main() => av_encode() => av_write_header() => av_frac_init() "
causes in av_frac_init() that
	st->time_base.num and st->codec->sample_rate are both zero !
So an Division by zero occures.

2) Something similar happens in
" main() => av_encode() => output_packet() "
ist->st->codec->sample_rate and ist->st->codec->channels
are also both zero.

Simple patching the code to avoid the division by zero
keeps the progam running, but it works only with audio-channel-mapping
to 0.1.


Does everybody knows how to fix it the rigt way?
I guess anywhere around Line 1700 in ffmpeg.c : 
"/* if stream_copy is selected..."

Thanks!
