Hi Carl,

The problem seems to be not reproductible with the ffmpeg.exe 
application... That's why I think I do something wrong.
(Not like the fps value displayed in the windows explorer, which is 
wrong either with the ffmepg.exe app, but that's an other problem)

What I basically do is something like that :
I clear every time frame->pts to AV_NOPTS_VALUE to let the encoder deal 
with that, because i had some weird things with asf files if I wrote 
->pts value.... I think this is due to time_base that is different in 
asf files...
for video :

// decode video frame
         ret = avcodec_decode_video2(input_video_dec_ctx, frame, 
got_frame, &input_video_pkt);
         if (ret < 0)
         {
             return ret;
         }

         if (*got_frame)
         {
             m_nVideoFrames++;
             m_VideoPosition += input_video_dec_ctx->time_base.num / 
(double) input_video_dec_ctx->time_base.den;

             // ok now encode image into output format
             av_init_packet(&output_pkt);
             output_pkt.data = NULL; // packet data will be allocated by 
the encoder
             output_pkt.size = 0;

             frame->pict_type =  AV_PICTURE_TYPE_NONE;
             frame->format = output_video_enc_ctx->pix_fmt;
             frame->pts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;

             ret = 
avcodec_encode_video2(output_video_enc_ctx,&output_pkt,frame,&got_output);
             if (got_output)
             {
                 output_pkt.stream_index = output_video_stream->index;

                 // Write the compressed frame to the media file.
                 av_interleaved_write_frame(output_fmt_ctx, &output_pkt);
                 av_free_packet(&output_pkt);
             }
     }


and for audio, it is quite the same thing...

then i've got a while loop like this :
while (ffmpeg_muxer.read_video_packet() >= 0)
     {
ffmpeg_muxer.decode_encode_video_packet(&got_frame, 0, pParam);
         ffmpeg_muxer.free_video_packet();

         if (bAudio)
         {
             while (ffmpeg_muxer.GetAudioPosition() <= 
ffmpeg_muxer.GetVideoPosition())
             {
                 if (ffmpeg_muxer.read_audio_packet() >= 0)
                 {
ffmpeg_muxer.decode_audio_packet(&got_audio_frame, 0);
                     ffmpeg_muxer.free_audio_packet();
                 }
                 else
                 {
                     // flush audio
ffmpeg_muxer.flush_audio(&got_audio_frame);
                     bAudio = FALSE;
                     break;
                 }
             }
         }
     }


At the end of this while loop, I wrote the correct number of frames 
(audio and video). The length of the two streams are correct.... but 
when the trailer is written, the output file is not good.... very very 
strange...

Thanks again for any help
