Greetings. I am working on a Unity project that uses vuforia for AR tracking. At some point, I need to use ffmpeg to generate an image sequence from an existing video file. For some reason, after calling ffmpeg and generating the images - when I start vuforia back up, the app crashes without any information on what caused the crash. Please note ffmpeg successfully generates the images. By commenting out the call to ffmpeg, I can avoid the crash entirely. 

Any ideas? Below is the process that runs ffmpeg.

I start with an android java class in Unity:

AndroidJavaClass _link = new AndroidJavaClass("com.example.package.Encoder");
_link.CallStatic("startEncode");

Above I call "startEncode" - defined in class, "Encoder":

public class Encoder
{
  private static Thread encoder_thread;

  public static void startEncode()
  {
    VideoProcessor r = new VideoProcessor();
    encoder_thread = new Thread(r);
    encoder_thread.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
    encoder_thread.start();
  }
}

The VideoProcessor thread makes the call to ffmpeg:

public class VideoProcessor implements Runnable{

  private Invokerffmpeg _inv = new Invokerffmpeg();

  @Override
  public void run()
  {
    try {
      String[] ffmpeg_command = {
        "ffmpeg",
        "-i",
        effectSource,
        "-f",
        "image2",
        "-vcodec",
        "png",
        outPath };
       _inv.run(ffmpegLocation, ffmpeg_command);     // commenting this line out will prevent the crash
     }
    catch(Exception e) {
      Log.e(TAG, "FFMPEG Error", e);}
    }

    // >> code to dispatch complete message back to Unity <<
}

The "_inv" member is defined here:

public class Invokerffmpeg
{
    static{ System.loadLibrary("ffmpeginvoke");}
    public native void run(String path_ffmpeg_lib,String[] args);
}

Thanks in advance for any help!
