From 4ea05577bd1a0a2fd733342c16d8bf91ed322ae6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 18:05:55 +0200 Subject: audio: remove --audiodrop This would play some silence in case video was slower than audio. If framedropping is already enabled, there's no other way to keep A/V sync, short of changing audio playback speed (which would give worse results). The --audiodrop option inserted silence if there was more than 500ms desync. This worked somewhat, but I think it was a silly idea after all. Whether the playback experience is really bad or slightly worse doesn't really matter. There also was a subtle bug with PTS handling, that apparently caused A/V desync anyway at ridiculous playback speeds. Just remove this feature; nobody is going to use it anyway. --- DOCS/man/options.rst | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/man/options.rst b/DOCS/man/options.rst index b0292ae90c..e8e41331d6 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/options.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/options.rst @@ -976,11 +976,6 @@ Audio maximum amplification, i.e. amplify by 200%.
