Re: [FFmpeg-user] Warning "Starting new cluster due to timestamp" on muxing two input streams and resulting movie with muted audio at some locations

[Georgi D. Sotirov]

Hello,

Yes, it should be something like this, but I'm not able to reproduce the 
warning anymore, so I won't dig further unless it appears again.

​I'm not sure of the exact cause of this warning by ffmpeg, but if the
actual message is to be trusted (usually it is), it could be an
inconsistency in timestamps. Clusters are kind of an MKV "unit" that
contain the actual audio/video data (the frames). If there is a hole in the
timestamps, or if they are out of order, the muxer might create a new
cluster to accomodate this.​

Hello,

Sure, the steps to reproduce were the following (i.e. the same that was

Anyone? Meanwhile I've done the muxing with mkvmerge from MKVToolNix 
 package without any problem and muxed 
other movies with FFmpeg successfully.

Hello,

I'm having the warning "/Starting new cluster due to timestamp/" when 
trying to mux the video and the audio from two (matroska) input 
streams by just copying the video from the first and the audio from 
the second them (i.e. without re-encoding). The resulting movie is 
scrambled - the video is OK, but the audio is inconsistent - it's 
muted in random locations. It's the same problem explained here 
 and I reproduce 
it with Sintel movie  as given 
in the example. The strange is that I've done the same operation many 
times in the past and I'm not sure why I have this warning just now as 
in the source it seem to have been introduced almost 3 years ago (see 
commit 7923aa0fba6b7b55ebbe1af8b7620060f36a1133 
). 
Thus, I normally receive the same warning with newly released FFmpeg 
3.3 as well as with previous 3.2.4 version.


So is there any way to solve this problem, avoid the warning and 
produce movie without muted sound?
