Very high stts sample deltas may occasionally be intended but usually
they are written in error or used to store a negative value for dts correction
when treated as signed 32-bit integers.

This option lets the user set an upper limit, beyond which the delta
is clamped to 1. Negative values of under 1 second are used to adjust
dts.

Unit is the track time scale. Default is INT_MAX which maintains current 
handling.

The stts is used in other places, the value parsed as unsigned will cause
problems there too
I see stts duration used in 3 places in mov.c

mov_read_stts(), which my earlier patch changed.

mov_build_index(), which this patch changes,

mov_read_trak() where frame rate is populated for CFR streams and is called
very shortly after mov_build_index().
I don't think that can break for non-malformed files as the only duration
entry in the stream is not likely to be > INT_MAX
In any case, after this patch, with default option value, it will see the
same values as earlier.

If iam not mistaken there is code that adds the values up to initilize some
duration. this works with 64bit so the small negative values interpreted as
unsigned will result in a wrong result i would expect
that may very well not be the only issue

Yeah, I see the stream duration being set in mov_read_stts().
Interestingly,  after 153639cb9cf, the unadjusted deltas were being added, which would have included all negative deltas, small or large.

153639cb9cf  shifted the original negative delta adjustment code from mov_read_stts to mov_build_index. Was that necessary?


the cast is also fragile as it will break when someone tries to change it
to int64
In what circumstances would that happen?
when someone tries to change the code.
having both signed and unsigned 32bit in a 32bit element screams

Originally, negative values never left mov_read_stts. Maybe that's best.

Anyway, FATE passes, so it may only affect edge cases if it does. But I will walk through the code to check.


[...]
also please select the default so that it works with all real world files
No single value can all work for all files. Hence the option.
but what i wrote was about all real world files.
Sure you can make a file that fails but so far the files i have seen and
the ones you told me about all would work with 49% of all possibly defaults
why do you pick a default that doesnt work with them and then argue about
that ?
Lets try to fix the code not win the argument please

I picked the default to keep the old behaviour. 99% of files I see have all valid offsets.
Among the rest, large values are mostly errors. Very few are intended.
What default do you suggest?

Gyan
