<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Consolas">This seems to work fine if the codec is MPEG2, but with H264, it hangs inside avcodec_encode_video2 at step 2) on the second frame. I don’t have debug symbols
and can’t figure out why. Does there need to be a minimum set of uncompressed data in the encoder before trying to flush out an encoded frame for H264? If so, how do I know when it is safe to flush a frame?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
