I tried with xine and mplayer. Neither shows any perceptible sync difference, even for a large -O. > And for the transcode folks: > tcprobe -i foo.mpg > frame rate: -f 23.976 [25.000] frc=1 (*) > PTS=0.1780, frame_time=41 ms, bitrate=7500 kbps > audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x50 [0x2000] (*) > PTS=0.6780, bitrate=192 kbps > -D -11 --av_fine_ms -41 (frames & ms) [0] [0] > > 0.178 - 0.678 sure looks like -0.500 to me That's precisely what doesn't work for me. Here's the -O -500 file: frame rate: -f 23.976 [25.000] frc=1 (*) PTS=0.1780, frame_time=41 ms, bitrate=9800 kbps audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x50 [0x2000] (*) PTS=0.2008, bitrate=224 kbps -D 0 --av_fine_ms -22 (frames & ms) [0] [0] And here's the -O 500 one: frame rate: -f 23.976 [25.000] frc=1 (*) PTS=0.2008, frame_time=41 ms, bitrate=9800 kbps audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x50 [0x2000] (*) PTS=0.1780, bitrate=224 kbps -D 0 --av_fine_ms 22 (frames & ms) [0] [0] +/- 22 ms difference instead of 500 :-( > > Yet, the time-shifted VOBs do not show the expected time-shifting, > > neither when playing them with a media player (i made the movies so that > > By media player do you mean software or hardware (settop box)? I didn't try on the hardware DVD player. But there's no reason to, because three different applications show the same results. > Software says that -O is working fine.

That's precisely what i'd like to use it for. Andrew Stevens mentioned something about compiler/libraries differences, which rings true to me. I'm pretty sure i'm not repeating the same mistake over and over, and mplex -O fails for me on several different systems, all of them running several different Red Hat "flavors". That's why i suspect it's probably not just me who has the problem. I believe i actually reported it like a year ago on mjpegtools-users (given or taken), but somehow the issue faded away quietly. Someone who knows how VOB/MPEG2 are supposed to look like might be able to spot the issue if he takes a look at the files i uploaded on my website (link in my other message), but to me it's all a black box. If one of the main developers wants to take a look at the problem, i can provide a temporary SSH shell on one of my systems, i just need the public SSH key (mail me privately). -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
