[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/2] libavformat/matroskadec: set fixed duration for subtitles

[ffmpegagent]

The matroska specification states the start time and duration of subtitle
entries are encoded in the block TimeStamp and BlockDuration. Furthermore,
for all subtitle formats except S_HDMV/PGS the BlockDuration must always be
defined and have an absolute value even if it is simply 0. ffmpeg assumes
that a duration of 0 means the duration is still unknown and tries to adjust
based on the next packet pts. This is wrong for all formats except
S_HDMV/PGS. Since changing the semantics of duration 0 is not an option
(touches too many parts of the code) this change introduces
AV_PKT_FLAG_FIXED_DURATION flag which decoders might use to flag the
duration of a given packet should not be changed.
