It doesn't by default output the individual streams' duration, though. $ ffmpeg -i out_ffmpeg.mp4 Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'out_ffmpeg.mp4': Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2avc1mp41 encoder : Lavf56.11.100 Duration: 00:00:00.57, start: 0.046440, bitrate: 304 kb/s Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High 4:4:4 Predictive) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv444p, 320x240 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 80 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 12800 tbn, 50 tbc (default) Metadata: handler_name : VideoHandler Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, mono, fltp, 98 kb/s (default) Metadata: handler_name : SoundHandler Stream #0:2(und): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, mono, fltp, 98 kb/s (default) Metadata: handler_name : SoundHandler Compare with ffrobe, which shows that MP4/MOV presents separate lengths for container and streams, so at least the former must be from a global header: $ FILE=out_ffmpeg.mp4; for detail in format streams; do ffprobe -show_$detail "$FILE" 2>/dev/null | grep -E '(format_name|start_time|duration|codec_type)=' ; done format_name=mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 start_time=-0.046440 duration=0.570000 codec_type=video start_time=0.000000 duration=0.520000 codec_type=audio start_time=-0.046440 duration=0.569048 codec_type=audio start_time=-0.046440 duration=0.569048 Three streams, and none of those lengths matches the "format's" duration. > Running an empty run with ffmpeg shows me that the video is composed > of 7423 frames which translates to exactly 296.92 seconds if we > calulate with 25 fps ( 7423 / 25 = 296.92 ). Yeah. I was just thinking out load, and wondering whether something else could be wrong. I suggest you check the stream's length using "ffprobe -show_streams", perhaps it will show your expected 300 seconds. Again, I'm guessing. :-) Actually, I think I want to see the exact timestamps for each and everyone of those 7423 frames, to see if something is fishy. Your mentioned 5 second drift does make me wonder! Moritz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
