Comskip crashes on recordings with changing video size
Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2007 11:30 am
I recently receive a recording that caused comskip to crash.
The analysis took some time.
The cause is a change in the width of the recording. Comskip can currently not handle recordings where the video size is changing.
This can happen in digital recordings. In this particular case the majority of the recording has a width of 704 pixels but there is one small part in a commercial where the width switches to 720 pixels.
This causes a problem when comskip was still searching for the logo.
The next build 112 will have a workaround that allows comskip to finish processing the recording.
