Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:2043 elkq]:
 > ffmpeg fails to segment rawvideo sources that have been encoded with
 libx264.
 >
 > The following command line fails:
 > {{{
 > ffmpeg -report -v 9 -loglevel 99 -s 352x288 -i /tmp/container_cif.yuv
 -c:v libx264 -an -sn -map 0 -f segment -segment_time 4 -segment_list
 hls.m3u8 -segment_format mpegts hls%03d.ts
 > }}}

 This works if you specify {{{-f ssegment}}}, see commit
 a9a7e215e5207e674338b7ca9eb74e96ae5faf99.

 The riddle is due to the fact that libavformat needs to know if the output
 is stream-based or file-based when opening the segment muxer, and this
 can't be known in advance with the segment muxer, when the internal muxer
 has not been selected yet.

 Error feedback can be improved, on the other hand this behavior cannot be
 easily fixed.
