[Asterisk-video] mp4save(): different audio and video lengths

[Jose M. Recio]

Ohhh, very interesting. I have checked and you are right ... audio track
length is almost zero when the handset is muted. Thanks for the hint !!!

Actually I started investigating this issue trying to debug a strange
behaviour I had detected in RTP, and I am now sure is also related to
handset VAD.

When the handset is muted and VAD is activated (only "silence" is sent),
asterisk sends RTP packets every 160 msecs (as it should), but ... timestamp
difference between two consecutive packets is aprox. 1200-1400 msecs, not
160 msecs. And the marker bit is set.

When the handset is unmuted, asterisk starts sending RTP packets every 20
msec, with 160 msec timestamp difference between consecutive packets, and
marker not set.

I can send you logs displaying this behaviour, so we can further
investigate.

Hi Jose,

please look in the archives. It looks like an issue of noise suppression of
mobile phones and therefore some mobile phones do not deliver audio in that
stage.
You could help us, if you can figure out, if the uploaded stream has gaps in
the rtp-timestamps.
Then we can get it back to sync.
Another solution could be to count the missing audio frames and correct the
time stamp of the next available rtp audio packet for storage.
Synching of audio and video tracks is done with the timestamps provided with
the network PDUs.
Perhaps the timestamps are not took into account when storing the audio
samples.

Your help is encouraged,
Michael
