[FFmpeg-user] Different audio rates on input DV files

[Bill Moseley]

I'm running ffmpeg version 4.1 (-version output below) on Mojave. I'm
pretty new to ffmpeg, so please let me know what more I could provide.

Some years ago I ripped a large number of Mini-DV tapes into clips. My
input files are named:
...
clip-1999-07-29 11;27;40.dv
clip-1999-07-29 11;33;26.dv
clip-1999-07-29 11;33;35.dv
clip-1999-07-29 11;33;47.dv
clip-1999-07-29 11;54;03.dv
clip-1999-07-29 11;54;03 1.dv
clip-1999-07-29 11;57;32.dv
...

I'm now trying to create a single mp4 file for all the clips on a given
day. I run this where "input.txt" is sorted list of the files for a given
day:

$ ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i input.txt -vf yadif out.mp4

Apparently audio settings on the camera changed during that day.

$ ffmpeg -i 'clip-1999-07-29 13;25;19.dv' 2>&1 | grep Audio
    Stream #0:1: Audio: pcm_s16le, 32000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1024 kb/s
    Stream #0:2: Audio: pcm_s16le, 32000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1024 kb/s

$ ffmpeg -i 'clip-1999-07-29 13;26;20.dv' 2>&1 | grep Audio
    Stream #0:1: Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1536 kb/s


When ffmpeg hits this change I get these messages:

[aac @ 0x7f9d33011e00] Queue input is backward in time
[mp4 @ 0x7f9d3300f400] Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:1; previous:
29973504, current: 19983150; changing to 29973505. This may result in
incorrect timestamps in the output file.
[and many more until the end]

And then during playback VLC stops playing audio, and mplayer gets
confused, but video continues to play.

I tried specifying output audio like this, but no luck:

$ ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i input.txt -vf yadif -c:a aac -b:a 384k
-profile:a aac_low out.mp4

If ffmpeg not detecting the change in input rate?

Thanks,
