avidemux 2.8.1-220802

i was trying to save edited file (as .ts), then window popped that "the saved video is incomplete. ... this may be a result of invalid time stamps in the video". i have wasted good 2h trying to debug the problem, cutting with ffmpeg, etc. then i've noticed that destination drive ran out of free space. i hope this helps to improve avidemux

The keyword is "may". The error message doesn't state that invalid timestamps are the reason.

I agree that we should include the human-readable description of the error code returned by libavformat. The user will get probably "I/O error" when disk is full. This is as good as it gets with FFmpeg libraries at the core.

even non-human readable might do. also it might be sensible to add '- there may not be enough free disk space' to the popup if it's one of the reasons
