[FFmpeg-user] Question about AAC fixed duration encoding

[Osama Alshaykh]

Hi Everyone,

This is other information we see when this issue happens:

[matroska @ 0x30c7760] Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:1; previous: 893551, current: 893513; changing to 893551. This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file.

[aac @ 0x30cbc20] Queue input is backward in time


We would appreciate your help.  how can we avoid having such issues.  We are using ALSA for audio and x11grab fro video.

Thanks,
Osama

They suggest that you can try “-acodec aac”.   In addition,  they noticed that your  input source has many audio frames with duration of “1” instead of “1024”. That implies the input source might have some overlapping or discontinuity. “
