I have a script (vhs - video handler script, using ffmpeg) to encode videos.
It also encodes a dvd, but until now just non-copy-protected ones, so i've tried to add/implement a vobcopy wrapper to be used by my script.
At first it looked quite fine, but when changing from the first VOB to the 2nd VOB, it copies a few megabytes, and then fails, with said error message.
Here's the output:
Code:

I've never beofre had a floating point issue., so i'd rather think its a vobcopy issue than mine..
Anyhow, i do not know how to identify a floating point issue, with the above code, there is no math done (but adding 1 to 'c' which was set to 0). but subtracting 1 from ${#files[@]}, but this just happens when its 1 or higher.
Any advice or ideas?
Thank you in advance and happy holidays.

Reason: Updated code, strokethrough the vobcopy is cause
we can see that vobcopy dropped a core file due to a floating point exception. Where that core file is placed varies from system to system. Start by looking at the man page for core and gdb or adb or sdb on your system to see if they give you an indication of where the core file is located.
ongoto:
No, the core didn't come from test. The diagnostic output repeated above clearly states that vobcopy received a floating point exception and a core file was produced.
This User Gave Thanks to Don Cragun For This Post:
According to man core this Fedora release saves the core dumps either as 'core' or 'core.pid'.
So i used locate, but it didnt find a 'core.pid' and looking for just core, brought just one 'reasonable' result (same as when i look - for 'fun' - for coredump:

So it seems it didnt procude a coredump
As there are no files within the 'coredump' directory.
Code:

No coredumps found.

It works well for most of the cases. However lets say diff is -0.17 and minm is -0.0017. In such a case the comparison seems to fail. Is the correct way to compare a mixture of positive and... (12 Replies)
Hello,
I have often found bash to be difficult when it comes to floating point numbers. I have data with rows of tab delimited floating point numbers. I need to find the smallest number in each row that is not 0.0. Numbers can be negative and they do not come in any particular order for a given... (9 Replies)
