ffmpeg meets unknow timestamps error












0














I use ffmpeg concat to merge multiple ts files, I use following command



ffmpeg -y -f concat -i filelist.txt -c copy output.mkv


all ts files' path is put in filelist.txt, most of time it runs well, but when processing some ts files, ffmpeg gives following errors



[matroska @ 044bf9c0] Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 0. This is deprecated and will stop working in the future. Fix your code to set the timestamps properly
[matroska @ 044bf9c0] Can't write packet with unknown timestamp
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argument


I guess the error is caused by those ts files missing timestamps? but since error message said "deprecated and will stop working in the future", so my question is Currently if there is a way or some ffmpeg command flags to suppress this error and just merge those ts files without reencoding, Thanks!

  • Thanks again, I tried, the file is merged, but "[mp4 @ 03e4eba0] pts has no value" this error message repeated a lot , Is it caused by timestamp error, Does it affect output file?
