ffmpeg exited with code 1: av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argument

Ok, so I've done what you advised me to do, and the full error is :

[matroska @ 0x150f9c0] Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 2: 253152 >= 235176
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argument

After looking up on google, I found this ticket on FFMpeg bug tracker.

It seems to be a subtitle related issue. However, running the command with the -fix_sub_duration option still causes the error.

I'm going to remove the stream # 2 from the MKV using MKVToolNix and try converting again with h265ize.

Edit : Convertion ended and went perfectly without the bugged .srt. The corresponding .srt seems to be corrupted, I have extracted it using mkvextract and uploaded it.

This is most likely an issue with ffmpeg. What's your ffmpeg version? Also try the he-audio flag and see if the problem still occurs.

[azsde]

The problem still occurs with the he-audio flag.

ffmpeg version 2.8.6-1ubuntu2

[FallingSnow]

Are you able to update to 3.0.2?

[azsde]

I updated to 3.1.1, same problem still occurs on some files. I suspect them to be corrupted or something like that.

[FallingSnow]

What you can try is running h265ize in debug mode. It should output the command line it is trying to run. If you copy that and run it yourself you should get all the output from ffmpeg. That might give you a better chance of pinpointing what the problem is.

[FallingSnow]

Just curious, can you try muxing in this version and see if the conversion works.

[azsde]

It did work with this version of the subs, how did you modify it ?

[FallingSnow]

I removed the first 2 segments where the timing overlapped. They were empty anyway.

[mikelesagitter]

Hi, I have the same error but no subtitles...

[jswigart]

This is apparently still an issue.
h265ize.log

Any suggestions? @FallingSnow

This was my command line

D:\Entertainment\Movies\Hobbit, The Desolation of Smaug, The (2013)>h265ize -d D:\Entertainment\Encoding\ -v -m medium -q 20 -x --no-sao --aq-mode 3 --stats --no-auto-subtitle-titles --debug

[FallingSnow]

Looks like it's choking on a text data stream or something

Is there no way to get ffmpeg to just ignore stuff it can't process?

[jswigart]

If I try to use an m4v output it chokes on it as well. Which seems weird seeing as the source file is m4v.

I guess this is a problem with ffmpeg and not h265ize. I'll try to let h265ize convert all it can and then do the problem ones with handbrake.

[jswigart]

Nevermind, guess ffmpeg is too flaky to convert my library. I started it at my root movie folder and it chokes on most of them. Only worked on a few before I killed it and went back to handbrake.

[FallingSnow]

Nevermind, guess ffmpeg is too flaky to convert my library.
Lol, just a quick correction, ffmpeg is the backbone of almost every video encoding and decoding software in the world. So it is most likely the program using it that has the fault.

Handbrake also uses ffmpeg, so handbrake most likely does some kind of preprocessing that h265ize doesn't.

[FallingSnow]

Is there no way to get ffmpeg to just ignore stuff it can't process?

ffmpeg yes, h265ize no. This is an edge case that h265ize doesn't deal with, and with the state of decay h265ize is in, it most likely never will.

Stream #0:3(und): Data: bin_data (text / 0x74786574)

If you do try to use ffmpeg, you would want to avoid mapping stream 0:3 to your output mkv to fix your problem.

[amlucent]

and with the state of decay h265ize is in, it most likely never will.

what do you mean I love this application. I am also experiencing this issue on a lot of files. Also does h265 use the systems ffmpeg or bundle its own?

[FallingSnow]

what do you mean

h265ize had a lot of design issues, things I am trying to remedy in nmmes-cli, therefore I am not putting -- any effort really into maintain h265ize.

As for your error, h265ize doesn't show the full error, run h265ize with the --debug flag and find the ffmpeg query. Then run that query separately and you will be able to see the actual error.

[FallingSnow]

Also does h265 use the systems ffmpeg or bundle its own?

ffmpeg decides based on whether ffmpeg was built with static (internal) or dynamic (system) libraries.

[amlucent]

@FallingSnow I took your advice and ran it with the --debug option and took the command its using and attempted to run it by itself. Its giving me this error that it cant find the file. I believe its the spaces in the directory structure.
