[FFmpeg-user] Poor quality output when converting avi to mp4

Unfortunately, I ran into a serious problem with the solution you provided,
Gyan.
I don't recall if I mentioned already that the 64 bit version of mp4box I
got from https://gpac.wp.imt.fr/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/ doesn't work
at all for me. I always get a message from Windows saying the application
stopped working.

I was able to use the 32 bit version on the short 18 second video I was
using for testing (hd.avi). But when I tried a larger file yesterday to see
how long mp4box would take to extract the raw video, it also crashed with
that same message:

*mp4box has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working
correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available.*

File I tried to process is just under 70 kb large but we need to process
much larger files than that. I have one sample file that is almost 1800000
kb in size and he files could be larger than that.

I first got the latest daily build of the  32 bit and 64 bit Windows
versions from GPAC. When I noticed the crash, I went to their official
download site and got both version there, but they both crash when I run a
larger file in mp4box. The 32 bit version can handle the short test file
but the 64 bit version will crash even with the small file.

I started the debugger and found out the problem is an unhandled exception.
There is also a Error message in the systems Application log, but it
doesn't tell me anything helpful either.

I will file a new issue in the GitHub but I don't expect an answer quick
enough to help.

Which version are you using Gyan? Maybe I can get the same version? I
really don't want to start all over trying to find a way to extract the raw
video with a different application.

Anyway help would be appreciated.

Thanks again
Ute
