ffmpeg has trouble with the 1080p60 (yes, progressive 60 fps) format as produced by the Sanyo VPC-FH1 camera. The first second of footage is corrupted as if the first I-frame was skipped, but the P-frames were decoded. It also produce a large number of messages of the form: [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0xe35360]Invalid timestamps stream=0, pts=0, dts=1001, size=136 [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0xe35360]Invalid timestamps stream=0, pts=2002, dts=3003, size=25016 [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0xe35360]Invalid timestamps stream=0, pts=4004, dts=5005, size=30896 [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0xe35360]Invalid timestamps stream=0, pts=6006, dts=7007, size=31912 Converted footage looks fine after that first second, and sound is in sync throughout. I've tested all of the camera's formats, and only 1080p60 exhibits this problem. I've uploaded a brief sample that demonstrates the problem. The file is named: SANY0267.MP4 ffmpeg and ffplay (SVN-r19609), mplayer, and VLC all show the same problem. You can see it by using any of those players, or you can convert the file with this command: ffmpeg -i SANY0273.MP4 -target ntsc-dvd 273.mpeg then use any player to see the result. -Bill wrzwicky@pobox.com
