This is a duplicate of several other tickets, the problem is (presumably) always that h264 timestamps are not correctly determined, see for example #1150 and #2220 (your problem is also reproducible with -fflags +genpts -bsf h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts).

For future tickets: Please always test current git head before reporting a problem.

thanks for the information and sorry for the duplicate.

i'm unable to compile git-head (*) but it doesn't seem to be fixed as of

ffmpeg-58433-g7668a03.7z 2013-11-17 05:59 5.7M

still the same problem.

If you can reproduce this with make distclean && git pull && ./configure && make ffmpeg it would be very important, please report it!

[julian]

no it only happens if i configure with

./configure --disable-encoders --disable-muxers --enable-muxer=ac3 --enable-muxer=mp4 --enable-encoder=ac3 --enable-encoder=ac3_fixed --enable-encoder=movtext --enable-encoder=pcm_s16le --enable-muxer=wav --enable-muxer=pcm_s16le --enable-muxer=mp3

[julian]

but as i said, the problem still exists in git-head

Should be fixed, thank you for the report!

i had to change the uploaded location of the file to reproduce the issue
