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

[Talgorn François-Xavier]

Hi Robert,

I noticed some differences between the way I do and the muxing.c example.
Furthermore, I copy timebase from source to destination which is wrong as you say.
I'm gonna give a try to the way muxing.c does.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best,

The muxer has the freedom to change that timebase in avformat_write_header and if it does, the packets you get from the encoder have incorrect timestamps, if you don't rescale them to the timebase of the AVStream modified by the muxer. Check the example muxing.c in the docs. You have to do what's done there (see line 83). If you don't, what you describe (incorrect frame rate) may very well be the result.
