Subtitles out off sync in .mkv files because lavf recognize wrong fps of a movie

Reported by: cameronpoe@… Owned by: reimar

Description

I noticed when watching matroska files (.mkv) the default demuxer 'lavf' (or/and 'lavfpref') are always showing 24.000 fps when it should be actually 23.976 fps. Because of this subtitles in MicroDVD format get out off sync while watching the movie and at the end there is a few seconds difference.

On MPlayer-1.0rc4_r31930 I could change demuxer to 'mkv' and the movie was recognized as 23.976 by this 'mkv' demuxer and subtitles where shown correctly through the whole movie. It worked with 'lavf' as well but only when I manually used option '-fps 24000/1001'. I actually prefered 'mkv' because with 'lavf -fps 24000/1001' subtitles flickered and that was a bit annoying.

There is big problem with a new version - MPlayer-1.0rc4_r32749 - I can't change demuxer to 'mkv' :( I mean I can and it shows correct 23.976 fps but it won't play the movie at all. The second problem with this version is - when I force 'lavf' to 23.976 fps using '-fps 24000/1001' the subtitles won't sync with the picture like on previous version of MPlayer :(

I noticed something else on both versions. If a .mkv movie comes with built-in subtitles the 'lavf' (and 'lavfpref') demuxer will recognize correct fps (23.976 fps) so the subtitles opened from a separate file are all fine - synchronized with the picture :)

Did you upload a sample that does not work with -demuxer mkv?

You are right but when I use this command it doesn't play the sample:

...but if I change the demuxer in that command to lavfpref it plays it fine then, so that's why I reported this bug because on previous version of MPlayer I didn't have that issue:

I found out what makes the problem using that command with the newest version of MPlayer!!!
It's because it doesn't recognize the video stream with option '-vid 0' so when I changed it to 'vid -1' it plays it fine using '-demuxer mkv' :)

comment:8 by cameronpoe@…, 13 years ago

...but still there is a BIG PROBLEM because subtitles in MicroDVD format are totally out off sync with picture on the newest MPlayer-1.0rc4_r32749 even when using mkv as a demuxer and 'vid -1'!!! :(

comment:9 by cameronpoe@…, 13 years ago

PS. I made a mistake in my first top message saying 'I noticed something else on both versions.' It should be 'I noticed something else but just on the previous (older) version of MPlayer.'

comment:10 by cameronpoe@…, 13 years ago

I have noticed a new version of MPlayer came out but this problem is still not fixed!!! :(

comment:11 by cehoyos, 13 years ago

This may be fixed in latest (today's) svn / git.

Please test, Carl Eugen

It seems this problem with wrong fps recognition by default demuxer 'lavf' ('lavfpref') in newest MPlayer while playing *.mkv movies is finally fixed :)
Thank you!!!
