Relative time is time computed not relying on an absolute clock - also called wallclock - which is not reliable when computing elapsed times since it is affected by system time changes. I can drop the "relative" since in this context it's confusing, since it simply refers to the operation duration. Since this is the physical duration it is more handy when estimating the effective time required to perform a similar conversion operation. -- FFmpeg = Fantastic Furious Monstrous Purposeless Educated God _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
