ffmpeg2theora and 'Audio sample format conversion failed'

[B K]

I'm trying to use ffmpeg2theora to convert the Big Buck Bunny 480p trailer (http://mirror.cessen.com/blender.org/peach/trailer/trailer_480p.mov). No matter what I've tried for args, ffmpeg2theora reports: "Audio sample format conversion failed". It converts video but there is no audio. Is this a know issue, a bug or do I need some special type of arg?

I have also tried to convert the big_buck_bunny_480p_h264.mov to ogg theora using ffmpeg2theora from http://firefogg.org/nightly and got an audio error.

input command:
liviu@pc:~$ ./ffmpeg2theora.linux big_buck_bunny_480p_h264.mov -o big_buck_bunny_480p.ogv -v 10 -a 5

output error:
[aac @ 0xb44d2a0] Custom get_buffer() for use withavcodec_decode_audio3() detected. Overriding with avcodec_default_get_buffer
[aac @ 0xb44d2a0] Please port your application to avcodec_decode_audio4()

When I add --noaudio, there is no error message.

The same with me. In 14.04 trying to convert a mp4 and a 3gp file downloaded from youtube i get a growing list of :
[audioresample @ 0x8afaa40] Audio sample format conversion failed

yo tuve el mismo error "Audio sample format conversion failed" tratando de cortar un video:
    :-$ ffmpeg2theora -f mp4 -s 168 -e 180 --croptop 36 --cropbottom 32 -p pro oye.mp4 -o oye-uno.mp4
 y lo solucione con mencoder:
    :-$ mencoder oye.mp4 -ovc copy -oac pcm -ss 165 -endpos 15 -o oye-uno.mp4
con esto logre cortar el video, solo faltaba eliminar los bordes.

solo use ffmpeg2theora para eliminar los bordes:
    :-$ ffmpeg2theora --croptop 36 --cropbottom 32 oye-uno.mp4
