[Libav-user] Remux RTSP stream ?

[Seungyong Kwon]

Hello,

 From my humble experience, you should provide PTS/DTS being incremented sequentially and
avoid jumping or duplication of PTS/DTS as much as possible. That means the first frame being 
recorded should have 0, the next 1 and so on.. (PTS/DTS should be calculated using av_rescale_q..)
In your case you provided 4752 twice and that's why you see such an error message.
Starting from greater-than-zero may also lead such an error..

Also you should set same value for PTS and DTS before calling av_interleaved_write_frame..

Regards,
