Description

When parsing my collection it seems that some mp4's (which were transcoded with ffmpeg) are making libexiv2 crash because of an arithmetic exception in QuickTimeVideo::mediaHeaderDecoder. In particular it seems that time_scale is found to be 0 resulting in a crash when diving. Simply

xmpData_["Xmp.video.MediaDuration"] = time_scale ? returnBufValue(buf)/time_scale : 0;

fixes the crash (same for audio). But this result of course in duration 0.
However, it seems that exiv2 returns 16000 once (no crash), and then 0 (causing the crash) for the same file. exiftool instead returns:

Time Scale: 1000
Media Time Scale: 16000

Also, don't know if this is relevant, but video is mp4, while exiv2 returns quicktime video.
So is it possible that, in addition to the check for time_scale == 0, there is also something else to fix in the determination of the time_scale?

I've submitted a this fix you have suggested to quicktimevideo.cpp#1461 r3390

                if(currentStream_ == Video)
                    xmpData_["Xmp.video.MediaDuration"] = time_scale ? returnBufValue(buf)/time_scale : 0 ;
                else if (currentStream_ == Audio)
                    xmpData_["Xmp.audio.MediaDuration"] = time_scale ? returnBufValue(buf)/time_scale : 0;
                break;

I've assigned this issue to Abhinav as he wrote and supports our video code. Can I ask you to clarify a couple of statements in your description:

Also, don't know if this is relevant, but video is mp4, while exiv2 returns quicktime video.

I'm not sure what you've said. Do you have an exiftool and exiv2 command (and video file) to illustrate this point.

However, it seems that exiv2 returns 16000 once (no crash), and then 0 (causing the crash) for the same file. exiftool instead returns:

Time Scale: 1000
Media Time Scale: 16000

Do you have test files (and exiftool and exiv2 command lines) to demonstrate this?

As for the first statement, I mean that, AFAIK, video/quicktime is not the same as video/mp4. I commonly refer to the first as mov container. The files for which I'm experiencing the crash are mp4 files. exiv2 returns video/quicktime. If I do not apply my patch, exiv2 crashes and no output is provided. If I do apply the patch I get:

File name : ...
File size : 37590208 Bytes
MIME type : video/quicktime
Image size : 0 x 0
...: No Exif data found in the file

But this is the output of exiftool:

As you can see, far more data is extracted, mime type is not video/quicktime but video/mp4 and there are two time scales: one is 16000, the other one is 1000. exiv2 correctly extracts 16000 (I see that by debugging), but extracts 0 instead of 1000. The crash seems more an effect of something else (although I'd keep the patch anyway).

If you want, I can provide this file (~36MB).

We have tried our best to provide as much information as exiftool. It is an awesome tool written in perl and I use it many a times to verify the results fetched by exiv2.

The MP4 file comes under the class of Quicktime.
Thats why it shows video/quicktime

To quote from the official website of Exiftool -
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/QuickTime.html

QuickTime Tags

The QuickTime format is used for many different types of audio, video and image files (most commonly, MOV and MP4 videos).

The differentiation has been based on the types of tags they use, and not on the extension of the file format.
Internally, they all (MOV, MP4, 3GP....and many more..) have almost the same structure, and they all use the standards defined by QuickTime format specified by Apple Developers' website.

See http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/QuickTime/QTFF/QTFFChap1/qtff1.html for the official specification.

Also if you may have noticed, the tag where it specifies it as video/quicktime is Xmp.video.MimeType
When I was designing these tags, I tried to incorporate as much information as provided by exiftool.
Even most of the tags have been inspired from Exiftool.

The tags are pretty much generic, so that they can incorporate any video file that may come up in the future.
But if you have some better solution, then please do suggest it. After all, this is an ever improving project.

Robin has already fixed the bug, and that must be why the file is not crashing anymore.

The command to view all tags of the file is -
./bin/exiv2 -pa ../../VID_20140118_173927_high.mp4

The command exiv2 <videofile> wont fetch results as the pretty print function of exiv2 needs to be modified to retrieve all tags of video files. Currently it has been designed to extract Exif tags only, which are found in images.

The below is the output of tags that I achieved through exiv2.
Please feel free to ask any doubts, or suggest any recommendation. :)

I checked the output using the -pa param and yes, it seems everything is working correctly. Sorry, I didn't know that was necessary to get all the data. I suppose the report can be closed now.

I've stumbled upon almost the same problem with exiv2 0.24 on Arch Linux for x86_64.
But two variables are concerned by a division by zero : time_scale and timeScale_.
