[Libav-user] Transcoding example produces incorrect FPS

[Vassilis]

Hello,

This seems like an issue I faced with my own attempt at transcoding video
and a fix was suggested by a member of this mailing list (thanks James).
You need to set the AVPacket duration field, otherwise this issue is
present. This would mean adding something in the lines of the
following line of code before your av_interleaved_write_frame is called:

// for example, if 25 FPS, and time_base is 12800, then packet.duration =
12800 / 25 = 512
output_packet.duration =
format_context->streams[stream_index]->time_base.den /
format_context->streams[stream_index]->time_base.num /
format_context->streams[stream_index]->avg_frame_rate.num *
format_context->streams[stream_index]->avg_frame_rate.den;

 /* mux encoded frame */
    ret = av_interleaved_write_frame(format_context, output_packet);

Hope this helps!
Vas
