Hi Marton, I want to confirm that we get correctly synced TCs when leaving out the format_code parameter and using an ffmpeg build from head (not with Gyan's patch). However, I was under the impression that we need the format_code so that we can capture different content types, in the original format. For example multiple frame rates or interlaced content. How would we set this up if we are not using format_code? Is this identified automatically?
