I’ve looked into these two notes before, when I experimented a little it in the 
past, I found it caused the tracks to not playback at a consistent rate and so 
sync was shifting by a frame throughout. Its a hard one to narrow down, as it 
seems to affect mostly the sync when I move to a new clip location and restart 
playback.

Since my test clip has visual running timecode and timecode in a data track, I 
can see that the sync between these two is not being maintained when pausing or 
jumping to a new play point. I’ve been using the video_track_timescale option 
for a while anyway, but I think this option is even more important when adding 
the command option "-use_editlist 0”.

Testing with the native aac encoder (with the option "-use_editlist 0” and 
without any of the -af options) produces a file which plays approx. 1/2 frame 
out sync in Quicktime decoders and the file ends when it should, but with the 
jump around sync issue mentioned above.

Doing the same test but with the AutoToolbox aac encoder (aac_at) produces a 
file which is plays in sync, but still has the jump around data sync issue and 
produces a 1 frame overlong duration.

Although playback audio / video sync is either very close or right on when 
started from head of the clip, neither show reliable sync to the timecode 
track, this doesn't seem viable as is. Its odd though as it seems to have been 
developed for this reason, so perhaps its the closest option to a solution and 
needs some final changes to make it fully reliable.

Apologies for my technical descriptions, I appreciate some of it is a little 
basic on my behalf.

Thanks
Mark
