[FFmpeg-user] Dolby TrueHD: 100 buffers queued in out_0_0, something may be wrong

[Felix Muster]

Hello,

I'm trying to convert Dolby TrueHD embedded in mkv container to alac and mux
it into mp4(m4v)-container.
I get the following message: [out_0_0 @ 000000000045a0c0] 100 buffers queued
in out_0_0, something may be wrong.

This can be replicated using one of those Dolby Trailers:
https://thedigitaltheater.com/dolby-trailers/

I googled for days maybe weeks now but cannot find a solution.


Uncut console output:
ffmpeg -i Dolby_Bit_Harvest_Lossless-thedigitaltheater.mkv -map 0:1 -c:a
alac Dolby_Bit_Harvest_Lossless-thedigitaltheater.m4v
