[Libav-user] Is a delayed transcoding start for mp2 unavoidable due to format or tuneable?

Hello, I’m new to this mailing list, so please let me know, if I’m at the wrong place to pose this question. As it might lead to modifying the source-code, I was wondering to pose it at ffmpeg-devel instead but decided for this mailing-group first … Following problem: When I transcode a long

[Libav-user] does mp2 (MPEG audio layer 2) -format contain timecodes?

Hello Is anybody familiar with the internal structure of the MPEG audio layer 2 format? Is it similar to mp3, consisting of frames and headers? While I found a nice explanation of mp3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) on wikipedia, I couldn’t find it in the same detail for mp2. In particular, I’m
