[Ffmpeg-devel] PTS / DTS with XViD

[Jani Boutellier]

Ok, I attached a video clip that is in the OGM format and contains XViD 
B-frames.

Well, if it is not "officially" possible to use ogm files, which 
container format would truly support B-Frames with FFMPEG?

Matroska is out of the question since I tried to use it with FFMPEG but 
it resulted only in errors (I sent a post a week ago to the ffmpeg-user 
-list about this issue).
