I have a python script that takes a movie file name and it does it job of splitting and converting videos. However, there are red error messages that constantly pop up on the console saying:

[buffer @ 0xa124320] Buffering several frames is not supported. Please consume all available frames before adding a new one.

How can i correct this? Is there something i need to do to the videos before running ffmpeg on them? Worse, i have the screenshot below where some message gets repeated THOUSANDS of times, slowing down everything!

A repeating (error) message which essentially slows down the splitting and converting of video files

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

    It sounds like there’s a problem with how your python script is interfacing with ffmpeg, or your ffmpeg settings.

    If you’re just interested in suppressing the console output, you could simply redirect the stderr of the python/ffmpeg process to /dev/null. Of course, that will prevent you seeing any errors from ffmpeg, which may or may not be okay for your purposes.
