[Libav-user] unsynchronous for H.264+AAC:

[Li Zhang]

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I agree with what you said. But I do not know how to compute the dts exactly.  I just let the muxer add that for me. But I do not know if muxer did that.

I tried just now that starting the audio transcoding when the first video transcoding was succeeded. Then the audio was earlier than video. So, obviously, the failed video transcoding (50 frames) influenced the synchronising. The video and audio almost synchronous when I started to transcode the audio after the 9th video frame transcoding failed. So do you have any idea about this?

I have another question about the frame rate. I configured video encoder's AVCodecContext->time_base->den= 25. I think the final video frame rate should be 25frames per second. But when I check that using VLC, it was 50. I do not know why.


Best regards,

Li

The 50th packets decoded is a P frame which is the 1st frame for successful encoding. After encoding this frame is I frame.

Hi Li,

as far as I know the DTS and PTS values of the audio and video frames are used to synchronize. You are not setting these values. For example, right before you write a packet you even use:

output_video_packet.dts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
and
pkt.dts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;

Therefore IMHO there is nothing left for any player to synchronize.

Then you do not use av_write_frame() but write_packet(), do you have a reason for that?

Kalileo
