[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v3] ffmpeg: add option -isync

This is a per-file input option that adjusts an input's timestamps
with reference to another input, so that emitted packet timestamps
account for the difference between the start times of the two inputs.
Typical use case is to sync two or more live inputs such as from capture
devices. Both the target and reference input source timestamps should be
based on the same clock source.
If not all inputs have timestamps, the wallclock times at the time of
reception of inputs shall be used. FFmpeg must have been compiled with
thread support for this last case.
---
This is a single patch with the reception wallclock stored only in
fftools. I find this sub-optimal because find_stream_info will have
demuxed an indeterminate number of frames by the time the wallclock is
stored. But it's better than nothing.

Like the @code{-ss} option but relative to the "end of file". That is negative
values are earlier in the file, 0 is at EOF.
+ at item -isync @var{input_index} (@emph{input})
+Assign an input as a sync source.
+
+This will take the difference between the start times of the target and referenced inputs and
+offset the timestamps of the target file by that difference. The source timestamps of the two
+inputs should derive from the same clock source for expected results. If @code{copyts} is set
+then @code{start_at_zero} must also be set. If at least one of the inputs has no starting
+timestamp then the wallclock time at time of reception of the inputs is used as a best-effort
+sync basis.
+
+Acceptable values are those that refer to a valid ffmpeg input index. If the sync reference is
+the target index itself or @var{-1}, then no adjustment is made to target timestamps. A sync
+reference may not itself be synced to any other input.
+
+Default value is @var{-1}.
+
@item -itsoffset @var{offset} (@emph{input})
Set the input time offset.
