meaning of the CLI stuff of mencoder

[kaz219]

Hi,

does somebody knows what are the meaning of the "A-V:x.xxxx" stuff when encoding with an opened terminal window ? And between the brackets, the first number is the current average bitrate of the video, and the second the one of the audio, isn't?

And finally, a bug: my encoding frame rate is totally wrong. It's written 64fps, and I'm more around 10 or something like this. Does anybody has the same bug or knows what it is due to?

thanx a lot for the answers,
kaz

So, still nobody has any clue about this?...

A-V:0.069 [1082:96]

The number after A-V is how off sync the audio & video are according to the encoder. I never even thought about the bracketed number. Look through the source for the bracketed number:

(mux_v->timer>1) ? (int)(mux_v->size/mux_v->timer/125) : 0,
(mux_a && mux_a->timer>1) ? (int)(mux_a->size/mux_a->timer/125) : 0

hope that paints a picture. It's a ratio of video to audio mux timers.

mencoder isn't infallible - I've seen it report fps values of 1000. If it produces unacceptable results look into the -opfs/fps flags.

What is between the bracket is the average bitrate of the video and the sound so far actually...

Thanx for the "A-V" thing!
