[FFmpeg-user] x11-grab error : Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Li Hui]

I can use x11-grab to capture vnc screen with depth 16bit correctly. But with depth 24 or 32bit, it doesn’t work.

I use this command:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 25 -i :5 /tmp/out.yuv
than, display this error:
