Hello all, I sent a similar email to this list a several months ago, but got no reply. Can anyone at least confirm this issue please? I have this problem with mencoder: Whenever I try to encode with yadif=1 (50 fps output in case of PAL), I get A/V desync, the sound is about 150ms late. That is, when I play the result with "mplayer -delay 0.15 test.avi", everything's ok. The (simplified) command is: $ mencoder -vf yadif=1,harddup -ovc lavc -lavcopts \ vcodec=mpeg4:keyint=132:threads=2:vbitrate=1000 -fps 50 -ofps 50 \ -oac copy -dvd-device . dvd://1 -aid 0 -o test.avi -endpos 0:2:0 If I encode it with yadif=0 (25 fps output, same fps as the source), there is no delay: $ mencoder -vf yadif=0,harddup -ovc lavc -lavcopts \ vcodec=mpeg4:keyint=132:threads=2:vbitrate=1000 \ -oac copy -dvd-device . dvd://1 -aid 0 -o test.avi -endpos 0:2:0 So, is there anything that causes this audio delay? I get it with any DVD I try to encode. Also, it always seems to be around 150ms. I thought about correcting it manually on the container level or during encoding (-audio-delay option), but there's visible junk in the beginning of the video if I do that. Plus, I need to know the exact value to use. Things I've tried: * Encoding audio track too (to cbr mp3). The delay is still there. * Encoding video separately (-of rawvideo), then muxing audio (both original and encoded to mp3) to mkv container using mkvmerge. The delay is still there. * Using -mc 0 with -oac copy. I actually get the reverse situation here - about 100ms _video_ delay. * Using -mc 0 with audio encode. This is the only one that seems to be in sync. Of course, this has the disadvantage of re-encoding the already lossy audio. Plus, -mc 0 disables all kinds of A/V sync, and since my sources are definitely not 100% good, it will cause the sync to go bad for most of them. This issue really makes yadif=1 (or, generally, high quality double-fps encoding) unusable in mencoder, so I'm already thinking about trying the alternatives (transcode, maybe?). Thanks a lot in advance! Alexander P.S. Here's the mencoder output: $ mencoder -vf yadif=1,harddup -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:keyint=132:threads=2:vbitrate=1000 -fps 50 -ofps 50 -oac copy -dvd-device . dvd://1 -aid 0 -o test.avi -endpos 0:2:0 MEncoder SVN-r29352-4.3 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.
