While converting a H264/TS to a RAW/AVI with
ffmpeg -i in.ts -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p out.avi
I found that the output AVI file had less frame than expected. It may come from PTS error in the TS, but if I convert it first to MP4 using the -vcodec copy
option, I don't lost frame while performing MP4 to RAW/AVI.
Is there a solution to ignore the PTS to convert directly from TS?
Original H264/TS info:
$ ffmpeg -i input.ts

FFMPEG report a duration of 4seconds at 24fps, but with a TS analyzer i found 9598 frames and I saw the PTS/DTS error.
If we convert directly to AVI:
$ ffmpeg -i input.ts -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p output.avi

We saw frame= 9600
copied into the MP4 and below the MP4 to AVI with the correct number of transcode frame. I search the command I use with the original TS file to prevent the frame skip, because using an intermediate conversion as MP4 consume storage & time !
