Hi,

I'm actually trying to encode wmv videos to flv format. The sound is delayed by about 2 or 3 seconds (sound in advance of three seconds on start, and no sound at the end).

ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -y -r 15 -s 320x240 -ar 22050 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 32000 -ac 1 -bt 64000 -vcodec flv -b 400000 myoutput.flv

have you tried -async option ?

What can I do to avoid this ? Is this a "bug" ? an error in the input wmv ?

I tried with differents wmvs, problem is the same, and delays seems to be equal.

The original wmv can be found here : http://dl.free.fr/c7sZP9qSa/F954806Ed01.wmv (986KB)

Any feedback welcome :)
