qtdemux: out of sync when computer is too slow
Last modified: 2010-03-05 14:16:47 UTC
Wen trying to play the video from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587922 on a slow computer, the video drops frames and goes ahead of the audio (a lot). Assigned this to -good because I think it is qtdemux's fault.
Why do you think it's qtdemux's fault? As long as it timestamps the output correctly the sinks should handle this, if it doesn't timestamp correctly thing will go out of sync in any case.
I thought qtdemux should do something with the QOS to keep both stream in sync (as the video one was the only one behind). But then I went to read the QOS docs and you're right. This same video plays fine if the computer is not overloaded, so the timestamps should be fine (at least on the qtdemux side).
Closing this based on the above comment(s).
