[Libav-user] Erratic encoding issue: Crazy framerates.

Hi Krueger,

Thanks for your reply.
I did check the timestamps and durations of packets.
It appears that respectives timestamps (original/encoded) are in different formats but consistent (incremental).
I set the timebase for encoded file to the same as the original (in_ctx->format_ctx is the original context).

    o_codec_ctx->time_base.num = in_ctx->format_ctx->streams[in_ctx->video_stream_idx]->codec->time_base;
    o_codec_ctx->time_base.den = in_ctx->format_ctx->streams[in_ctx->video_stream_idx]->codec->time_base;

I don't know if this is OK to duplicate a timebase from H264 to be used in a MP4 context.
Since it defines the frame rate only (not the ticks/frame) it should OK I guess.

What do you think ?

One thing that many people overlook is to check whether your muxer has changed the time base after initialization. you have to deal with that case (and rescale your packet timestamps to that new timebase) and the mov/mp4 muxer does that under certain circumstances.
