ffmpeg feels like its taking a long time. I then look at my output file and i see it stops between 6 and 8mbs. A fully encoded file is about 14mb. Why does ffmpeg stop? My code locks up on StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();. I had to kill the process (after seeing it not move for more then 10 seconds when i see it update every second previously) then i get the results of stdout and err. stdout is "" stderr is below.
The output msg shows the filesize ended. I also see a drop in my CPU usage when it stops. I copyed the argument from visual studios. CD to the same working directory and ran the cmd (bin/ffmpeg) and pasted the argument. It was able to complete.
int soundProcess(string infn, string outfn)
{
string aa, aa2;
aa = aa2 = "DEAD";
var app = new Process();
app.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
app.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
app.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
//*/
app.StartInfo.FileName = @"bin\ffmpeg.exe";
app.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format(@"-i ""{0}"" -ab 192k -y {2} ""{1}""", infn, outfn, param);
app.Start();
try
{
app.PriorityClass = ProcessPriorityClass.BelowNormal;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
if (!Regex.IsMatch(ex.Message, @"Cannot process request because the process .*has exited"))
throw ex;
}
aa = app.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
aa2 = app.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
app.WaitForExit();
if (aa2.IndexOf("could not find codec parameters") != -1)
return 1;
else if (aa == "DEAD" || aa2 == "DEAD")
return -1;
else if (aa2.Length != 0)
return -2;
else
return 0;
}
The output of stderr. stdout is empty.
