Description Forest 2011-03-30 18:27:24 UTC
When qtmux fails due to out-of-chronological-order buffers without duration (bug 638288) it produces this error message:

  Could not multiplex stream.

If the application happens to show debug info, this additional message is available:

  Received buffer without timestamp/duration.

It would be a bit more helpful if the latter message was included in the former.  Better yet, how about mentioning the new dts-method=reorder property, which can work around the problem, in the error message?  It might save developers some time and trouble.
