I entirely agree with this. Libavformat should export what is stored in the file as accurately as possible. It does not have enough information about the context/use case to fix timestamps, nor whether fixing is even required. We can and eventually should provide optional code for timestamps generation/manipulation, e.g. in the form of a bitstream filter which would have access to accurate reordering information. But it should be entirely separate from the demuxer. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
