Description

I'm trying to stretch an AC3 audio file to match the frame rate of a video file but it gives me the error mentioned in the title:

$ ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -af "atempo=0.95904" output.ac3
[ac3 @ 0000020faaca1b40] Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 58808576 >= 744704

I tried to find the broken part...

ffmpeg -t 1175.072 -i input.ac3 -af "atempo=0.95904" part1.ac3
ffmpeg -ss 1175.264 -i input.ac3 -af "atempo=0.95904" part2.ac3

...and work around it (since it's silence anyway)

ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -f lavfi -i "anullsrc=r=48000:cl=5.1" -filter_complex
"[0:a]atrim=end=1175.072[P1];
 [0:a]atrim=start=1175.264,asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS[P2];
 [1:a]atrim=duration=0.192[S];
 [P1][S][P2]concat=n=3:v=0:a=1[C];
 [C]atempo=0.95904[F]"
-map "[F]" output.ac3

Still errors. I tried a number of things like -fflags +igndts or encoding it twice (first without arguments and then with -af atempo) but I'm trying to accomplish that with only one encoding if possible.

Please test current FFmpeg git head and provide the command line you tested together with the complete, uncut console output to make this a valid ticket.

I somewhat figured out where the problem is but still can't fix it. I extracted the packet information with ffprobe -show_packets and compared the faulty file with the no-arguments reencoded file.

As you can see, all of the sudden the size changes from 1536 to 768 for only six samples. Now when I do -af "atrim=end_pts=105759360", the audio length goes down to 36:43.328 (2203.328) instead of my previously tested 19:35.072 (1175.072).

If I however divide the pts (105759360) by the duration (2880) and multiply with the duration_time (0.032) I get 19:35.104 (1175.104). This has to be a AC3 property because I have no idea why it cuts at 36:43.328 when the error is clearly at 19:35.104.

Unfortunately the problem still persists since the DTS is still messed up. This is what I tried so far:

ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -ab 384k -af "atrim=start_pts=105759360:end_pts=105776640" bad.ac3
# has to be done separately because there's no bitrate filter

ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -i bad.ac3 -ab 384k -filter_complex
"[0:a]atrim=end_pts=105759360[P1];
 [0:a]atrim=start_pts=105776640,asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS[P2];
 [1:a]atrim=duration=0.192[B];
 [P1][B][P2]concat=n=3:v=0:a=1[C]; # works
 [C]atempo=0.95904[F]"             # fails
-map "[F]" output.ac3

Is there a way to fix the DTS without reencoding twice?

ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -loglevel verbose -ab 384k -af "atempo=0.95904" output.ac3

Sorry for being unclear: Please post the command line you tested together with the complete, uncut console output here on the tracker to make this a valid ticket.

@cehoyos Unfortunately I can't do that since comments are limited to 262144 characters; that's why I have posted it to PrivateBin (look at the last two lines of my previous comment). I can however split it into multiple comments if you'd want me to or I can format it better so it's easier to understand:

Command used:

ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -loglevel verbose -ab 384k -af "atempo=0.95904" output.ac3

I think I can fix the file with -af aresample=async=1 but there seems to be no way to combine aresample and atempo in one reencode (throws the same error when I do).

comment:7 by Anuskuss, 5 years ago

I think I got my timings wrong the first time, but this works.

Find last position without error

ffmpeg -t 1175.040 -i input.ac3 -c copy p1.ac3

Find first position without error

ffmpeg -ss 1175.328 -i input.ac3 -c copy -y p3.ac3

Substitute silence

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "anullsrc=r=48000:cl=5.1" -t 0.288 p2.ac3

Concat and filter

ffmpeg -i "concat:p1.ac3|p2.ac3|p3.ac3" -af "atempo=0.95904" fin.ac3

One filter (like [0]atrim;[0]atrim;[A][B]concat,atempo) does not work.
Ticket can be closed since it's not really a priority and I don't think this will get resolved anyway.
