Unrecognized option 'qp'

[JunyaoHu]

I run the offifial example code but go wrong.

from mediapy import *
video = moving_circle((100, 100), num_images=10)
show_video(video, fps=10)

I am not sure it is relative to torchvision or ffmpeg

when i dont conda install torchvision, the code can run well. but after i conda install torchvision (and ffmpeg also installed automatedly), mediapy can not run well, so how to solve the problem?

torchvision and ffmpeg version are as follows:

and i tried

ffmpeg pkgs/main/linux-64::ffmpeg-4.2.2-h20bf706_0 runs well

but ffmpeg pytorch/linux-64::ffmpeg-4.3-hf484d3e_0 cannot run well

This looks related: KuntaiDu/dds#1
The option -qp has been available for years in ffmpeg if the libx264 codec is available.
My guess is that the pytorch/...ffmpeg is a custom build that disables the H.264 codec.
You can try show_video(video, fps=10, codec='gif') which uses the GIF codec instead.
