MPEG-DASH Encoder error

Question

I have installed x264, gpac revision 3744, ffmpeg and DashEncoder on ubuntu 10.04 (on vwware) successfully but when I run DashEncoder with below config file I received this error:

current encoder x264 YES terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘std::logic_error’ what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid Aborted(core dumped)

(note: I can produce mpd files using MP4Box directly but DASH Encoder doesn't work. Also I test it with newer revision of gpac)

Please help me

thanks

The problem is that DASHEncoder assumes you want to encode a video and an audio file concurrently. So if you just want to encode a video file you should comment some parts of DASHEncoder code that relates to processing audio files.
