Hi All,
there is a known bug in the VideoCapture ffmpeg module. It occurs while loading videos without a codec: http://code.opencv.org/issues/1915
I had some time now to debug this bug and found the issue in:
CvCapture_FFMPEG::grabFrame()
In the function
avcodec_decode_video2(video_st->codec, picture, &got_picture, &packet);
the AVFrame picture get set. But after
av_free_packet (&packet);
I get: "error: Cannot access memory at address..." for picture.data[0] which leads to a segmentation fault later in the function sws_scale().
I can encode this video with a video codec using ffmpeg or whatever and I get no segmentation fault (memory in picture.data[0] can still be accessed).
Of course there is an easy fix for this bug: Simply comment out / delete
av_free_packet (&packet);
This is working fine for me. Now I can process videos with and without codecs. But I am not sure if this will lead to memory issues if av_free_packet gets not called. Is there anybody who is familiar with FFmpeg and can help me here?
Thanks a lot!
