[Libav-user] DTS audio out of sync with video

[Scott Brown]

Actually, perhaps the audio is only 1/2 a second off (it's hard to tell by
just watching). As per the dranger tutorial, for video frames I get the
pts using the packet's dts value. Perhaps when the reorder buffer
increases to 16 the dts and pts are more and more off?
