Hello Team,
I have trouble and I know you can help me.

I use transcoding.c example to transcode from mp4 to avi.
All is good but the duration of the output vidéo is two time
long than the input video duration.
For example, if I the duration of the input vidéo is 10s the
duration of the output will be 20s (10sx2) and the output video
is slow.
When I transcode from avi to avi, I have not this problem.
But it occur when I transcode from mp4 to avi.

See following ma transcoding parameters and configure options.
=> Transcoding parameters in open_output_file() function :

static int open_output_file(const char *filename)

AVStream *out_stream;
