Description:

PCM signed big-endian requied, but all attempts encoded as unsigned.

package version ffmpeg 20111211-1

After some recent home video recodes I noticed that my usual signed pcm sound codec (pcm_s16be) has encoded as unsigned. After trying a few other pcm signed codecs they also came out as unsigned

Steps to reproduce:

ffmpeg -i in.MTS -vcodec dnxhd -threads 4 -b:v 240M -pix_fmt yuv422p -acodec pcm_s16be out.mov

No errors were given, output said it was singed. When checked in video editor and Mediainfo it was in fact unsigned.
This task depends upon

Downgrading FFmpeg to version ffmpeg-20111123-1 solved the problem.

if the old snapshot works and new one doesn't it means that there is a regression.

what can we do is to try a new snapshot[1] and see if is fixed and if not, report upstream.

Thank you.
Unfortunately it doesn’t, I'll report upstream.

FFmpeg have removed the patch that caused the regression (since 8e8c51318c1fe4ae61de578f0823b88aa3fe8222). The Arch Linux package ffmpeg 20120127-1 released today confirms all is well again. Thank you Ionut Biru and FFmpeg.
