Hi people, I'm having this problem for years and years (so it's not a recent problem or regression).
I make recordings on my enigma2 based settopbox. It saves the recordings as the original transport stream, but with filtering of only the requested service pids. There is a feature to edit the recorded services, in a basic way. Very helpful to edit out commercials. Problem is that it makes cuts in a very "rude" way, it justs cuts the file at a certain position, in the middle of all kinds of open packets and streams. On playback it isn't such a big deal, because the damaged packets are discarded and the DVB hardware resyncs on the timestamps pretty quickly. After the crude editing, I like to perform a real editing run, using kdenlive (or any other NLVE, for that case). I've found that all of them have problems when fed with a "damaged" transport stream, like this. So what I do, is transcode the stream to something with mjpeg and pcm codecs, intra frames only, very easy on the editor. This is the problem: after every timestamp discontinuity ("cut" or "gap"), ffmpeg resyncs audio and video BUT it doesn't do it 100% correctly. Sound remains a bit "in front" of the video, skewed a bit. Also, it gets worse at every cut, everytime about 200-300 ms is added to the skew. That's not what I'd expect? I've tried these options to force synchronisation: - -vsync 1 (not per sé required, but I want the audio and video streams in the container in such a way that they're not skewed, so if the editor decides to demux and throw away the timestamps, it still works) - -r 25 (material is 25 fps, tried with and without, doesn't matter) - filter:a " aresample=async=10000:min_comp=0.1:min_hard_comp=0.1:max_soft_comp=10000:first_pts=0" None of this helps. I can see ffmpeg dropping and dupping frames, but it doesn't help to fix the slow drift. I was under the impression that ffmpeg would automatically base the synchronisation of the (single) audio stream on the (single) video stream. Is this a correct assumption or do I need to specify an explicit "-map" statement? It looks like ffmpeg takes care that frames are dupped/dropped so the frame rate keeps "solid" 25 fps (or whatever the source frame rate is specified as or is specified with -r), but it seems it does not keep the audio stream synchronised. Thanks for help, Erik. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
