[Libav-user] time_scale issue with 3.1 ABI

[Charles]

Not sure where the problem is but the same code with different containers
Can't seem to make the container honor the encoders frame_rate

How do you get the time_scale correct in a video only stream?

in transcoding.c it just copies the input pts
in muxing.c its set fron next_pts for number of audio samples
in remuxing.c it is set from av_rescale_q_rnd with in stream to out stream

Thanks

Details:

mp4 header
Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (h264_nvenc), yuv420p, 1024x768, q=-1--1, 3000 kb/s, 60 tbr, 60 tbn
mp4 600 frames (ffprobe)
Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 1024x768 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 3027 kb/s, 60.10 fps, 60 tbr, 15360 tbn, 120 
tbc (default)

mkv header
Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (h264_nvenc), yuv420p, 1024x768, q=-1--1, 3000 kb/s, 60 tbr, 60 tbn
mkv 600 frame (ffprobe)
Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High), yuv420p, 1024x768 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 1k fps, 60 tbr, 1k tbn, 120 tbc (default)

 From the dumps I can tell that tbn is messed up and from libavformat/dump.c I see it is related to frame_rate

I can play both output in VLC does it has issues...

I create the codec and and context then

    video_st = avformat_new_stream( av_out_fmt_ctx, av_encode_codec );
    video_st->time_base = AVRational{ 1, fps };
    av_stream_set_r_frame_rate( video_st, AVRational{ fps, 1 } );

    avcodec_parameters_from_context

    avcodec_open2
      flags |= CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER
    av_dump_format( av_out_fmt_ctx, 0, fname.c_str(), 1 );
    avformat_write_header


    dst_frame->pts = frame_count;
    avcodec_send_frame
    avcodec_receive_packet

//// This is what I have tried
       av_packet_rescale_ts( &m_av_packet, m_av_codec_ctx->time_base, m_av_out_fmt_ctx->streams[ 0 ]->time_base );
///         m_av_packet.pts = m_av_packet.dts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
///         m_av_packet.pts++;

///         m_av_packet.pts = packet_count++;
///         m_av_packet.dts = m_av_packet.pts - 1;
