Musepack SV8 file decodes with distortions

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

​http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1965
The file at ​http://www.mediafire.com/?o9onbsm6dk6cqja decodes without errors, but the resulting wav file contains clicks and distortions.

I will attach the first 2MB of the testfile, the cut file allows to reproduce the problem with ffplay (first 40 seconds silence, >10 seconds music, all with distortions).

Could you confirm that decoding it with mpcdec results in "An error occured while decoding" and a 60 second wav file with only silence?
Because in that case it looks like the file is simply broken and FFmpeg does the best it can (though it would be better if it printed an error or so).

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Both the complete sample from MPlayer bugzilla and the cut sample attached to this ticket decode fine with mpcdec v1.0.0 (the cut 68 sec sample shows an error because I cut it but the resulting wav file is not silent).
I will attach the first 32 seconds of the decoded wav file encoded as flac.

First 32 seconds of the 68 seconds that cut.mpc is long

mpcdec cut.mpc cut.wav
with mpcdec from Debian unstable musepack-tools (0.1~r459-2, x86_64 version, libmpcdec6 has same version info) results in a 12MB wav file that contains only 0s.
The mpcdec -h output shows the version information as:
mpcdec - Musepack (MPC) decoder v1.0.0 (C) 2006-2009 MDT

I downloaded mpcdec v1.0.0 from ​http://files.musepack.net/linux/musepack_linux_2009_02_28.tar.gz

[matusz]

revision 475 decodes the file with error:
mpcdec cut.mpc cut.wav
mpcdec - Musepack (MPC) decoder v1.0.0 (C) 2006-2009 MDT

An error occured while decoding
3031583 samples decoded in 300 ms (229.14x)
but the wave file plays without problem (~11MB in size).

Maybe this will help:

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

The attached sample cut.mpc still decodes with strong artefacts when using FFmpeg, decodes fine (except an error message because I cut the file) with mpcdec from ​http://files.musepack.net/linux/musepack_linux_2009_02_28.tar.gz

[ami_stuff]

ffmpeg's decoder does not support correctly "--quality 8" (and 7, 9, 10) modes

6 and lower modes decodes ok

--quality 7 ("Insane")
--quality 8 ("BrainDead")
--quality 9 ("above BrainDead")
--quality 10 ("above BrainDead")

mpcenc --quality 8 file.wav out.mpc
