FFMPEG encoding example does not work with VPx encoders

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I am using the following example from FFMPEG to write a raw steam of VP8 or VP9 encoder:https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/encode_video_8c-example.html

The VP8 or VP9 based file is written successfully to the disk. Then to mux this stream into a container, I sued FFMPEG command line:

ffmpeg -i myfile.vp9 -c copy testvideo1.mkv

I get the following error when I run the above command:

ffmpeg version N-91789-g11cec34829 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 the FFmpeg developers

myfile.vp9: Invalid data found when processing input

However, when I run the above set of operations for h264, its works fine.

I assume its because of the endcode = {0, 0, 1, 0xb7} which might not work for VPx encoders. Not sure whats the issue. Any help would be appreciated.
