<div dir="rtl"><div style="direction: ltr;">I have investigated the matter some more, and it seems that the delay is exatcly 2 frames (its 80 ms when I use PAL 25 fps video and 66 ms when I use NTSC 30 fps video). Furthermore, it appears when sending frames 1,2,3 av_read_frame does not return with frame 1 before I start sending frame 3. Does anybody have an idea why this might happen and how I can prevent it?</div>

<div style="direction:ltr">
After successfully transmitting my video (h.264 frames encoded by the calling application) and receiving it, I did some latency testing. </div><div style="direction:ltr">To my surprise, I calculated 80 ms between the time that I finished sending the frame in one process (av_write_frame returns) until I finish receiving it in the second process (av_read_frame returns and the packet contains the same frame).</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">To identify the frame I used the pts field of the packet. (i.e I printed the time when sending together with the pts of the frame, and then the time of receiving together with the pts of the frame, and then calculated the difference).</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">This was tested using multicast transmission between 2 processes on the same computer (on two different machines sitting on different networks) so I don't believe network latency can account for it.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Can anybody explain what might be taking all that time and how I can reduce it? My application demands very low latency.</div><div style="direction:ltr"><br></div><div style="direction:ltr">
