 Replying to [comment:8 ahthovaikied]:
 > OK, it seems we disagree on only one thing:
 > You are saying that a demuxer does not necessarily have a bit exact,
 reproducible output, and that it could change depending on build options
 or CPU, am I correct?

 Yes, and the same is true for (at least some) decoders.

 Since demuxers can depend on libavcodec, one implies the other.

 > Isn't there a standard that precisely describes for example that in a
 Matroska file, if byte w has value x, then the chunk from offset y to z is
 part of a video stream?

 If you have a Matroska file for which libavformat returns broken packets
 with a default configuration, please report it here (or on the user
 mailing list).

 ), tests were done on the same core i7 PC, with the same build options.

 Sorry, I expected you to write something like "yes, it works with version
 x but fails with y". Anyway, please try:
 {{{
 $ make distclean
 $ git bisect reset
 $ git bisect start
 $ git checkout x
 $ git bisect good
 $ git checkout y
 $ git bisect bad
 }}}
 Then build and test and depending on the result either use {{{make
 distclean && git bisect good}}} or {{{make distclean && git bisect bad}}}
 to continue testing and find the version introducing the problem you see.
 I run bisects on FFmpeg every day so I can help you if needed, but you may
 have to explain how I can reproduce the problem without using a script.
