If you run:

/usr/bin/MP4Box -hint -static -mtu 1450 /path/toyour.com/infile.mpeg -out /path/toyour.com/outfile.mpeg

MP4Box halts with a ‘buffer overflow’.

Even quoting the path and file do not resolve this.

/usr/bin/MP4Box -hint -static -mtu 1450 ’/path/toyour.com/infile.mpeg’ -out ’/path/toyour.com/outfile.mpeg’

When the same command was run from within the toyour.com/ directory it finished without issue:

#cd /path/toyour.com/
#/usr/bin/MP4Box -hint -static -mtu 1450 ‘infile.mpeg’ -out ‘outfile.mpeg’
Processed successfully.

A core dump debug (see instructions at http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php) indicated that the linked libraries all were fine. At the very end of the core dump debug it showed:

Core was generated by `/usr/bin/MP4Box -hint -static -mtu 1400 /path/toyour.com/i’.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
[New process 5776] #0 0×00283402 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

Note the cryptic /path/toyour.com/i’. at the end.

On a hunch the toyour.com directory was renamed to toyour_com and voila it worked fine.

/usr/bin/MP4Box -hint -static -mtu 1450 /path/toyour_com/infile.mpeg -out /path/toyour_com/outfile.mpeg

File was successfully processed.

Hope this helps someone,

Happy MP4Box-ing
