Assertion Expression: !(cpu&(X264_CPU_SSSE3|X264_CPU_SSE4))

[actieve]

Summary of the bug:

Using a variety of ffmpeg builds I have recently run into a scenario on a new server my client is using where executing any encode using libx264 like the following line I get an Assertion Failed error which appears to look like the look up for SSE3 instruction set is failing even though it is clearly available.

ffmpeg.exe -i file.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -y -f mp4 file.f4v

Yields:

Assertion failed!

Program: D:\Applications\Virtuosotv\Recordings\ffmpeg.exe
File: /home/kyle/software/ffmpeg/pkgs/x264/source/x264-git/common/cpu.c, Line 248

Expression: !(cpu&(X264_CPU_SSSE3|X264_CPU_SSE4))

How to reproduce:

Can only reproduce on a very specific new server, works everywhere else I have it. I could start a remote session with an engineer if necessary.

What is the /proc/cpuinfo of this server? Is it running in a virtual machine?

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Did you built the executable yourself?
