Handbrake: Detelecine "skip-top=0" crashes HandBrake

Created on 4 Jan 2020 · 1Comment · Source: HandBrake/HandBrake

Problem description:

Using Detelecine > Custom > filter: "skip-top=0" crashes HandBrake
With SD content, crashes about 2/3 of the time. With HD content, always crashes.
"skip-top" values ≥ 1 seem to work. All other "skip-___" filters work with values ≥ 0.

_(I originally thought the issue was with HB's handling of SD DVD content because I'd never had a HD telecine source to re-encode before. However, I stumbled upon the true cause when I found the need to detelecine what appears to be VFR HD PAL content.)_

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.3.0):

1.3.0 (install & standalone), plus all nightlies since (up to 20200104-d6b65cc30).
Also present in at least 1.2.2 (and probably further back than that).

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 19.10, macOS 10.15 Catalina, Windows 10 1909):

Windows 10 Pro 1909 x64 (build 18363.535).

Error message text and/or screenshot:

On crash, system just shows a generic "HandBrake has stopped working" plus "reporting to Windows" dialog.

_End of log since HandBrake crashes here._

EDIT: I just realized the build versions I used are different between Windows log (1.3.0) and HandBrake log (nightly). However, the substance of both logs is identical except for the versions numbers.
