Hang while converting WTV to MP4

[kazuna]

I have a WTV file which causes ffmpeg to hang when converting to MP4.

This is a regression introduced some time around July this year.

Reproduce on FFmpeg (20161210/64-bit/static).
Not Reproduce on FFmpeg (20160619/64-bit/static).

To reproduce, I run a batch file on Windows 10:

:LOOP
ffmpeg -i ABC.WTV -y -s 1280x720 -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -c:a copy ABC.MP4
GOTO LOOP

It may not reproduce the problem at the first loop but it won't take long.
For me, it reproduces 50% at the first loop and 90% at the second loop.

When it reproduces, I see no interesting console output but it just hangs at a random frame number while counting the frame:

Input stream #0:1 frame changed from size:720x480 fmt:yuv420p to size:1280x720 fmt:yuv420p
Past duration 0.795464 too large
frame=31281 fps=255 q=26.0 size=  217464kB time=00:17:23.40 bitrate=1707.4kbits/s dup=78 drop=31153 speed= 8.5x

Works fine here.

If you cannot provide a backtrace (that is needed when reporting a hang), please report the issue on the Zeranoe forum assuming this where you got your binaries from.

Yes, I got Windows binary from zeranoe.

Did it work for you on Windows?
If not Windows, then it could be Windows (binary) specific issue?

It looks like fixed in the latest build.

Apparently the problem introduced in [x264 20160613-3f5ed56] has just fixed in [x264 20161201-b97ae06].
