This is happening at the very end though, after the video has been processed. In some instances I have been able to continue and ignore this error, although only rarely. The source of this video is a Sony Handycom. On my system (Mandrake 2005) I have no errors and can process the video for NTSC fine. However others have emailed me with problems, mostly with PAL video. Does the gdb session that I posted previously shed any light on the matter?

A little more detail: I capture the video using dvgrab. I have used multiple capture formats and it doesn't appear to make any difference when transcoding the video. I use transcode in my software (sourceforge.net/projects/dvd-homevideo) and I have received several emails from users about this broken pipe issue - I really need to find a solution.

I tried the -x ffbin instead of -x dv and still am having the same issue. The issue is still a broken pipe, and the output was:

This seems to be more prevalent with PAL rather than NTSC. This continues to be a major issue, can anyone shed some light on this?

to quote your error report:

 (decode_dv.c) header parsing failed (2)
 (decode_dv.c) audio: 32000 Hz, 2 channels
 (decode_dv.c) header parsing failed (2)
 (decode_dv.c) NTSC video: 720x480 framesize=120000 sampling=1

seems you have bad DV source files.  I assume this is probably why
'-x ffbin' does not work either.

why this is happening, I don't know.  where do these DV files come
from?
