-vsync parameter
Video sync method. For compatibility reasons old values can be specified as numbers. Newly added values will have to be specified as strings always.
-
0, passthrough
-
Each frame is passed with its timestamp from the demuxer to the muxer.
1, cfr
-
Frames will be duplicated and dropped to achieve exactly the requested constant frame rate.
2, vfr
-
Frames are passed through with their timestamp or dropped so as to prevent 2 frames from having the same timestamp.
drop
-
As passthrough but destroys all timestamps, making the muxer generate fresh timestamps based on frame-rate.
-1, auto
-
Chooses between 1 and 2 depending on muxer capabilities. This is the default method.
Note that the timestamps may be further modified by the muxer, after this. For example, in the case that the format option avoid_negative_ts is enabled.
With -map you can select from which stream the timestamps should be taken. You can leave either video or audio unchanged and sync the remaining stream(s) to the unchanged one.
Audio sync method. "Stretches/squeezes" the audio stream to match the timestamps, the parameter is the maximum samples per second by which the audio is changed. -async 1 is a special case where only the start of the audio stream is corrected without any later correction.
Note that the timestamps may be further modified by the muxer, after this. For example, in the case that the format option avoid_negative_ts is enabled.
This option has been deprecated. Use the aresample
audio filter instead.
