[Libav-user] Fw: strange H264 audio sync behavior

Thank you for posting. 

The worst thing about this is testing to wait for transcoder and then watch at least 4min-5min... its not feeling like development.

Yes i adjust the timebase, i had to.. for some clips the timebase looked rly weird .. the Input Stream and InputCodecContex values, like 1/25000 for both stream and codec, i changed it for output 1/25 for codec and stream get changed to 1/90000, it was a trial&error attempt which made it feel better. But the decoding function still gets these 1/25000.

But anyway, with the transcode example, there is the same problem and its only what its already does with time_base,pts and dts.
I would guess that there is 1s up to 2s between audio and video when it starts to get out of sync.

In my own Transcoder i increment the frame pts with +1, each loop, for video and audio. And then rescaling it with av_rescale_q_rnd after encoding is done, so before i write the frames/packet i scale the pts/dts for that i use codeccontext timebase and stream timebase, tried other things too but didnt change anything. Thats all i do with pts/dts. And the pts/dts incrementation for video and audio doesn't look wrong to me.

+512 for video (0:00:00.040000) 25fps,90khz 
+1024 for audio (or sometimes less), 48khz

And in ffprobe the incremntation is always the same... the only thing i noticed with ffprobe it starts with audio frames and the start time is different from the orginal source (1 audioframe length).
