I am using ffmpeg record a video from a webcam, but the memory usage is very high, and keeps increasing with video length.
very high is relative
For example, I use an embedded device with 64 MB of RAM, and when I recorded a 30 minute video, I was left with 2MB of RAM in the last minutes of the recording.
and it did not abort with a out-of-memory on a 64 MB device and so finished - what to complain then - memory is there to be used and 64 MB in 2017 i would not expect to run anything which does really some work
there are even not much systems booting with 64 MB todays when every clock has 1 GB or more
I used valgrind to check for memory leaks, but I only found a 24 byte leak when the program finishes. Is this memory consumption expected for ffmpeg?
if there would be memory leaks you would end with OOM very large on such a device
