[FFmpeg-user] Output file empty when processing mp4 - Invalid data found when processing input

Wed Jan 23 19:24:05 CET 2013

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to resize an mp4 file using ffmpeg, but the output file comes
out empty. I see the following messages just before the command finishes:

Truncating packet of size 103333 to 101557 time=00:00:06.10 bitrate=
585.7kbits/s
[h264 @ 0x20646aa0] AVC: nal size 103329
    Last message repeated 1 times
[h264 @ 0x20646aa0] no frame!
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x1ff19240] stream 0, offset 0x200ed8: partial
file
/data/sftp/video/temp/video_promo/764556_4_p.mp4: Invalid data found when
processing input

Any pointers on how to track down what's causing this? You can see the full
output of the command below, followed by the output of ffprobe. The only
alterations are a few pieces of sensitive data that I've removed which
shouldn't have any bearing on diagnosing the issue.

Thanks,

Peter
