[mythtv] A/V diverged by +/-30 frames, extending frame to keep audio in sync

[Lincoln Dale]

Mark,

i have a bunch of recordings which seemingly hit something like this. 
the trigger point seems is somewhat random - but for the most part it 
has been about 90+ minutes into a 2 hour recording after which a/v sync 
gets way out of whack (and continues to get more out of sync the longer 
it goes on).

i thought it was something to do with mplayer .nuv patches (i use an 
xbox as a frontend where i have seen this) ..

i assume it has nothing to do with the length/time of the individual 
show that is being recorded, but rather that a "pts wrap" will occur 
sometime in a given mpeg2 stream (every 13 or 26 hours if i understand 
mpeg2 pts values correctly).

i presume we can add a fix into the demux code also to deal with this 
for previously transcoded streams also?  i.e. handle the wrap better?


cheers,

lincoln.
