To Reproduce

$ffmpeg = FFMpeg::create([
'ffmpeg.binaries' => '/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg',
'ffprobe.binaries' => '//usr/local/bin/ffprobe',
'timeout' => 3600, // The timeout for the underlying process
'ffmpeg.threads' => 12,   // The number of threads that FFmpeg should use
]);

$video = $ffmpeg->open('mov file path');
$video->x264()
->autoGenerateRepresentations()
->save('output file path');

Expected behavior
No error :)

Desktop/Server (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac
• Version: 10.15.6
• FFmpeg vesion 4.3.1

To fix this problem I had to remove all streams from the video file.

This stacoverflow answer helps me to build the proper ffmpeg command to prepare video file before processing it by the bundle https://stackoverflow.com/a/38162168/10561527 .

IMO this should be a part of the bundle - remove all non-audio/video streams before processing.

[aminyazdanpanah]

The problem is the same as #48. I think FFmpeg has a bug in this case and I have not found a valid solution.

I will try to reach out to FFmpeg developers and report this bug.

[secit-pl]

@aminyazdanpanah the solution (walkaround) is to remove all data streams before processing the video.

[aminyazdanpanah]

@secit-pl I know it can remove all data streams from a video and then encode it but I think it is not an efficient way. I am looking for a better solution.

By the way, thanks for your suggestion.
