The patch is certainly an improvement over the current behavior, no

Hi Josh,

On Tue, 22 Dec 2020, Josh Allmann wrote:


Thank you for taking the time to look into this! Tested with your
alternative patch and it does seem to be an improvement. I was able to
find a case where it didn't seem to do the correct thing (described
below), but this is not a regression; master doesn't do the correct
thing, and neither does my patch. I haven't looked much at what the
code is doing beyond running these tests, but could find some time to
dig in early 2021 if it's not fixed by then.

First, a working sample with pts > 0 . This has a 600-frame GOP (20s @
30fps) to show that cutting mid-GOP works correctly.

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/raw-attachment/ticket/9028/gop-600.mp4

Command to generate a clipped sample with edit list. This spans two GOPs.

ffmpeg -ss 17.319 -i gop-600.mp4 -t 5 -c copy -movflags
+faststart -y cut-mp4-600.mp4

Things look good with ffprobe, and playback works well with ffplay; it
starts right around the 17-second mark. The sample is a timecode
pattern so it is easy to verify.

If the sample is a mpegts (rather than a mp4, all other things
identical), then things are a bit odd:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/raw-attachment/ticket/9028/gop-600.ts

Cut the sample with:

ffmpeg -ss 17.319 -i gop-600.ts -t 5 -c copy -movflags
+faststart -y cut-ts-600.mp4

Probing gives the correct duration with a start time of 2.683.
However, playback starts at the 20 second mark. (Same timecode
pattern, so easy to visually verify.) Incidentally, it seems that 20 -
2.683 = 17.316, which is the original cut position.

ffprobe cut-ts-600.mp4 gives "Duration: 00:00:05.12, start: 2.683000"

The trac ticket has a bit more info (including commands for how to
generate the samples) but this is the gist of it.


I think this issue isn't related to the mov muxer at least, but is more 
related to how stream copy works at the ffmpeg.c level, and/or how the 
seeking is done.


As that's unrelated, and I haven't heard any objections to my version of 
the patch, I think I'll go ahead and land it soon then.

If you have a stream starting with dts<0 pts=0, you'll have start_pts =
start_dts + start_cts = 0. That gives delay=0 after your modification. But
the comment says "don't reduce the duration for cases with pts=0" - where
the delay variable would be zero anyway?



I'm not quite sure what you mean - that the comment is outdated?
Or that this modification would perhaps not behave as expected?

For what it's worth, the cases I'm concerned with have start_pts < 0.




I don't manage to follow the reasoning and explanation in the commit
message. To be able to concretely reason about this issue at all, we need
to look at a concrete example. Can you provide a sample input file and a
reproducible command, and point out which exact field in the muxer output
of that case that you consider wrong?



Had to create a trac to find somewhere to host the sample. Tried to put
some details there but the formatting seems messed up and I can't figure
out how to edit, apologies. So here is some more info -

Input sample:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/raw-attachment/ticket/9028/test-timecode.mp4

Run the following for a transmuxed clip from 3s for a 5s duration:

ffmpeg -ss 3 -i test-timecode.mp4 -t 5 -c copy out.mp4

Note that the actual cut location is mid-GOP, so there's a 1s pts delay
at the beginning of the output file with negative pts.

ffprobe shows:

ffprobe -show_streams -show_format out.mp4 2>&1 | grep duration=

duration=5.166992 # stream duration - correct
duration=6.167000 # format duration - incorrect

mp4dump'ing out.mp4 gives this:

# incorrect: duration should be sum of elst durations
 [tkhd] size=12+80, flags=3
 duration = 6167

# correct
 [elst] size=12+16
   entry_count = 1
   entry/segment duration = 5167

# incorrect; derived from track duration (tkhd)
 [mvhd] size=12+96
   timescale = 1000
   duration = 6167


Ok, now I've finally had time to dig into this. It does indeed seem like 
what we produce right now is incorrect.


I don't think your patch does the right thing for cases that start with 
pts > 0. For those cases, the value returned by calc_pts_duration to 
mov_write_edts_tag would need to only cover the sample data itself, but 
for the other header durations would need to include the extra offset 
(adding the extra pts to it). And overall, the patch feels to me as it 
achieves it in a way that doesn't fit with how my mental model for this 
code is set up.


I've made an alternative patch that I'll post momentarily, where I try to 
address the issue, but in a way that fits the way I understand the code.


For your particular example code, it produces the same output as your 
patch, but I believe that it should do the right

If you have a stream starting with dts<0 pts=0, you'll have start_pts =
start_dts + start_cts = 0. That gives delay=0 after your modification. But
the comment says "don't reduce the duration for cases with pts=0" - where
the delay variable would be zero anyway?



I'm not quite sure what you mean - that the comment is outdated?
Or that this modification would perhaps not behave as expected?


Yeah, the comment seems wrong here - it looks like it's been moved along 
with the code, but it doesn't really make sense here and/or for the case 
you're describing, I think.



For what it's worth, the cases I'm concerned with have start_pts < 0.

On Fri, 11 Dec 2020, Josh Allmann wrote:


A negative start_dts value (eg, delay from edit lists) typically yields
a duration larger than end_pts. During edit list processing, the
delay is removed again, yielding the correct duration within the elst.

However, other duration-carrying atoms (tkhd, mvhd, mdhd) still have
the delay incorporated into their durations. This is incorrect.

Fix this by withholding delay from the duration if edit lists are used.
This also simplifies edit-list processing a bit, since the delay
does not need to be removed from the calculated duration again.
---

 The mov spec says that the tkhd duration is "derived from the track's
 edits" [1] and the duratons of the other atoms (mvhd, mdhd) are in turn
 taken from the longest track. So it seems that incorporating the delay
 into the track duration is a bug in itself when the edit list has the
 correct duration, and this propagates out tothe other top-level durations.

 Unsure of how this change interacts with other modes that may expect
 negative timestamps such as CMAF, so the patch errs on the side of
 caution and only takes effect if edit lists are used. Can loosen that
 up if necessary.

If you have a stream starting with dts<0 pts=0, you'll have start_pts = 
start_dts + start_cts = 0. That gives delay=0 after your modification. But 
the comment says "don't reduce the duration for cases with pts=0" - where 
the delay variable would be zero anyway?



I don't manage to follow the reasoning and explanation in the commit 
message. To be able to concretely reason about this issue at all, we need 
to look at a concrete example. Can you provide a sample input file and a 
reproducible command, and point out which exact field in the muxer output 
of that case that you consider wrong?
