title: FFmpeg: Green images from TS file
body: <p>I use ffmpeg to generate images from a TS file and at some places it generates green images. I checked a couple of ffmpeg versions. The issue reproduces on 
  3.3.3, 2.8.11, 2.7.7, but doesn't on 2.6.9.
  What might be the reason? </p>
  
  <p>For example, the output of 2.8.11:</p>
