[Xvid-devel] Have XVid working but playback of encodig running too fast

[Michael Militzer]

Hi,

how are you using the encoder? From your own app via the xvid API?
xvid_encraw? Some other application? Which OS? And which video player
have you used that showed the playback running too fast?

It's hard to comment on your problem without any side information. As
you realized yourself, you need to ensure that a proper framerate is
set. There's the "-framerate" option in xvid_encraw for that (or fincr
and fbase parameters in xvid_enc_create_t programmatically - see xvid.h).

Note that some video players will not respect the framerate settings
unless you mux your video track into a container (AVI, MP4, ...)

Best regards,
Michael
