View Full Version : Ffmpeg creates discontinuous time stamp

Howdy,

I've been using ffmpeg to convert AVI files (video in huffyuv, audio uncompressed) into mpeg1. The AVI files are my own movies I exported from Premiere.

Many of the resulting mpeg1 files have audio/video sync problems and, for example, generate the infamous "anachronistic or discontinuous timestamp for VIDEO stream" message when loaded into VirtualDub.

I'm just wondering if this is a known problem with ffmpeg? I'm not doing anything particularly fancy. I do set the gop size and number of b-frames. Maybe I should just stick to the defaults? But it seems really odd that something as straight-forward as the timestamps would get messed up.

Cheers,
A
