Description

Hi,

I'm having two NUT files that came out of a split; literally, at some point, my program just closed the file, opened a new one and continued to write packets with no pts gap or similar. I'd like to join them back together again. However, evidently I can't; when I join them using the concat filter, I get a three-hour gap in the middle. I've tried using -copyts, and that works fine if I only have one file the usual way:

> ffmpeg -copyts -i file:record-2017-11-05-13:00:24+0100-f67.nut -c copy osipcl2.nut 
[some churn]
> ffprobe -show_streams ./osipcl2.nut 2>&1 | grep start_pts
start_pts=1381844448                    
start_pts=552732979

However, when using the concat demuxer, it still messes with the pts:

> cat osipcl2.txt 
file 'file:record-2017-11-05-13:00:24+0100-f67.nut'
file 'file:record-2017-11-05-13:37:23+0100-f59.nut'
> ffmpeg -copyts -safe 0 -f concat -copyts -i osipcl2.txt -c copy osipcl2.nut
[more churn]
> ffprobe -show_streams ./osipcl2.nut 2>&1 | grep start_pts                  
start_pts=12000                         
start_pts=0

I suppose there's some other issue here with the three-hour extra gap, but just having it respect -copyts would solve that problem automatically for my part. The files should have the same timebase and stream layout and everything, so just blindly shoving packets from one to the other ought to work.

The two files are 1,4 GB and 34 MB respectively, so I thought I should't attach them, but ask if you need a copy :-)

Replying to Sesse:

Sorry, I mean 11 GB and 265 MB.

To make this a valid ticket, please test current FFmpeg git head and provide the command line you tested together with the complete, uncut console output.

The test was already with current git head (well, git head as of yesterday). I already gave the full command line. Here is the complete console output:

I think maybe the three-hour gap is because the second stream starts around that time pts-wise. So it's possible that it gets the timestamps from the second stream correct, but sets the first one to start at zero, and that's what's causing the gap.
