ffmpeg quicksync h264_qsv encoder bug "device failed (-17)"
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2018 7:37 pm
Hi,
i am just reporting this here in order to allow other users to find the topic when they search for the error message.
There was a problem in the ffmpeg version currently used by ffastrans (as of december 2018) which caused quicksync h264_qsv encoder to fail sometimes and randomly but typically at the start of encoding. As a result ffastrans fails the task with the message "file too small and contains missing/corrupt data" (which refers to the defective mp4 that ffmpeg produced).
The bug seems to be solved already, i updated the shared ffmpeg build that comes with ffastrans to ffmpeg 4.1 and it seems to work that way.
No answer needed, as said this is just a reference.
