  1. I have noticed that the FFmpeg AVI muxer creates non-compliant Avi files.
    Checking these files with AviHex shows errors.
    The files still play fine with most software players.
    Older hardware players (e.g. DVD players with USB port) can not play them.
    If you mux to mkv and then mux this mkv file to AVI with Avidemux, this new Avi file is compliant.
    You can check this yourself.
    If any of you have contact with the FFmpeg developers, please report this bug so it can be fixed.

    The sample file info:

    muxed with ffmpeg v5.0.1

    Here is the muxed file
    https://files.videohelp.com/u/292773/Sample_muxed_with_ffmpeg_to_avi.avi

    When the file is played in avidemux, no sound is heard. The audio track is not recognized correctly, probably because it is not muxed correctly.


    TIA

  2. Have opened a new ticket #9826 in the FFmpeg bug tracker.

  3. Are you sure the problem is in ffmpeg not avidemux and the old players?

  4. I can confirm a similar problem months ago for an old split movie in two parts, which I was trying to merge with ffmpeg. Same problem of this file after the mux, especially with the audio. I solved the problem using the classic VirtualDub. So yes, I think that the ffmpeg's avi muxer has some problem.

  5. "00002000-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71" appears to be the Windows Media Format SDK media id for Dolby Digital Plus, AKA Enhanced AC-3.

    Thanks for the info. *thumbs up*
    Well, that really sucks. It MIGHT BE "technically-correct", but ``nobody uses it´´, so what would be the point of the most-recent FFmpeg

    FWIW: the GUID for eac3 in a RIFF container is FFFE / A7FB87AF-2D02-42FB-A4D4-05CD93843BDD,
    whereas the GUID for ""normal"" AC-3 is FFFE / E06D802C-DB46-11CF-B4D1-00805F6CBBEA.

    This codec ID is written by the ffmpeg avi muxer.
    If you mux to mkv, then this codec ID is A_AC3

    Maybe this is the problem ...
