Description
Summary of the bug: This happens only with the AVI container using MPEG4 or Libxvid codecs (if using a MP4 container it works fine).
When trying to recode a video into DIVX/MPEG4 in AVI container the audio loses sync after a while progressively.
The original file is 880MB but can't be split since this is a progressive issue. The original file can be downloaded here:
http://mcebuddy:mcebuddy@files.mcebuddy2x.com/upload/DWSpiro/In%20the%20Heat%20of%20the%20Night_WHDHDT2_2014_11_23_18_58_00.wtv
Here is the command used to reproduce the issue (the scale is just to speed up the conversion but has no effect on the sync with or without)
How to reproduce:
ffmpeg -i "In the Heat of the Night_WHDHDT2_2014_11_
23_18_58_00.wtv" -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -b 400 -vf scale=320:-1 test.avi

Perfect thanks that worked. Does it mean that all AVI containers with MPEG4 need async 1? If not how does one tell when it's required?
comment:3 by , 11 years ago
That worked with one file, with another sample it didn't work, it' still out of sync. Again with MP4 container it works fine with AVI container it goes out of sync, even with the -async 1.
The file is available here (too large):
http://mcebuddy:mcebuddy@files.mcebuddy2x.com/upload/The%20Office.ts
comment:4 by , 11 years ago
I tested the following command line:
$ ffmpeg -i The\ Office.ts -qscale 2 out.avi
How can I reproduce A/V desync for the output file?
comment:5 by , 11 years ago
Exact same command as the first file:
ffmpeg -i "The Office.ts" -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -b 400 -vf scale=320:-1 test.avi
comment:6 by , 11 years ago
How can I reproduce A/V desync with the output file I produced with my command line?
comment:7 by , 11 years ago
I didn't understand your question - if you're asking about the playback, I used WMP 12 (windows 7) to check the output playback.
comment:8 by , 11 years ago
I tested the output file with MPlayer, vlc and FFplay: All three play the file in sync.
Is the issue only reproducible with WMP?
comment:9 by , 11 years ago
@ ramitbhalla, its possible that ac3 in avi might be causing problems, use mp3 codec instead? or mkv container.
comment:10 by , 11 years ago
It's true, mp3 works fine. I thought the dev team would like to know about the bug hence I reported it.

The original wtv file is now an additional real-world sample for ticket #4674.
I am unable to reproduce any issue related to the transport stream The Office.ts, please reopen if you can explain how I can reproduce the problem.
