[FFmpeg-user] Warnings when decoding from AVC-Intra

Tue May 6 16:02:00 CEST 2014

Hello,

I am trying to decode different AVC-Intra MXF Files (4:2:0/4:2:2 10bit) 
to ffv1/ffvhuff (mathematically lossless transcoding).

FFmpeg can open the files (MXFs are made by different encoder tools) but 
at the decoding of the h264 stream (AVC-I with yuv420p10le and 
yuv422p10le) there is always following warning at every file (6 test files):

*[h264 @ 00000000003b1320]* *Overread VUI by 5 bits*
*[h264 @ 0000000004a78340] Overread VUI by 5 bits*

And at one special file there are more warning at specific positions in 
the video:

[h264 @ 00000000045c75c0]*non-existing PPS 5 referenced**.*56 
bitrate=372652.0kbits/s
[h264 @ 00000000045c75c0] *decode_slice_header error*
[h264 @ 00000000045c8800] *Partitioned H.264 support is 
incomplete*e=378444.9kbits/s
[h264 @ 00000000045c5140] *A non-intra slice in an IDR NAL 
unit*.ate=378865.7kbits/s
[h264 @ 00000000045c5140] *decode_slice_header error*
[h264 @ 00000000045c5140] *non-existing PPS 59 referenced24* 
bitrate=379157.0kbits/s
[h264 @ 00000000045c5140] *decode_slice_header error*

So I am worried: Is there any loss in the decoding process? (Details 
below).

Best Regards
Christoph
