[MPlayer-users] Fwd: FFplay ffmpeg difference in decoding?

[evert vorster]

Hi there. Thanks for the reply.

I think this is a bug in ffmpeg, and I just wanted to report it somewhere.

All other video formats are converted preserving time. What I am
trying to say is that the video before converting and after converting
should play at the same rate, and does for very other format.

I have converted a few videos with ffmpeg, and that is why this
behaviour on .mts files seems strange. Normally, a video that lasts
for 10 seconds before conversion lasts for ten seconds after
conversion. When converting a .mts file, it suddenly lasts 20 seconds,
while the sound still lasts 10 seconds.

Futhermore, -r does not seem to have any effect on the input file on
conversion with ffmpeg, which could mean that the framerate for mts (
avchd ) files are hard-coded, which is slightly naughty. I am not a
video codec guru, though, so this is only a guess.

I do realise that avchd is a very new format, and am quite impressed
that we are able to work with it at all.
I would love to give the developers a short movie clip captured with
my canon hf100 ( vixia ) camera, if they do not have it already, so
that they have a bit more info on Canon's take on the avchd format,
which would translate in better support for the format in general for
everybody. I hope. :)

Thank you again for the workaround, I'll try and convert my videos
with Mencoder.
However, ffmpeg has the -r command which is supposed to address this
very problem, but it does not seem to work in the case of .mts files
recorded with my camcorder.

Kind regards,
-Evert Vorster-
