Well that's your prerogative, but what a curious attitude.

How much did you pay for FFmpeg? How much support does that entitle you to?

How much is FFmpeg worth? How much would it cost to produce it commercially
(got to be millions).

You could always write your own code to transcode arbitrary MP4 files to
h.264 encoding; the relevant standards documents are all available to
purchase.

Some constructive advice?

Make the smallest possible program to reproduce the problem, ideally no
more than tens of lines.

Explain *exactly* what is happening, and *exactly* what should be happening.

Explain what you've tried: what did you do? Why did you do it? What made
you think it would help?

Do all of this with reference to the code.

999 times out of a thousand that process will lead you to the solution. If
you're feeling community minded, publish your notes for the benefit of
others.

If that still doesn't fix it, you may have hit on a legitimate bug and
someone here might be interested in helping to fix it. Though by that stage
you can probably fix it yourself and contribute the fix back.

And you will have learned a tremendous amount and levelled up as a
programmer.

I know it's frustrating when things are difficult, but you're not doing
yourself any favours with that attitude.

Cheers
Rob
