I'm used to record non-HD TV-shows, use DGIndex to convert the resulting ts-file and continue to remove commercials, transcode to mp4, ...

Now I recorded a TV-show in 1080p. Since DGIndex doesn't work on those and DGAVCIndex's DLL DGAVCDecode.dll causes lots of blocks I need to find a new way to do things. What I'm curious about is how DGIndex/DGAVCIndex detect the audio delay. I thought that ffmpeg is more sophisticated and it shouldn't be a problem to see it there, but I can't.

Here's the output of ffmpeg:

Note: despite the h264-lines the video plays fine.

After throwing VirtualDub's frame serving, AviSynth and ffmpeg at the video my eyes and ears tell me that in the resulting file the audio is off by roughly -350ms according to VLC. In other words I thought I could find something in ffmpeg's output that would lead me to those 350ms.

I also used ffmpeg's switch -debug_ts and get lines like:

demuxer -> ist_index:1 type:video next_dts:NOPTS next_dts_time:NOPTS next_pts:NOPTS next_pts_time:NOPTS pkt_pts:1122126141 pkt_pts_time:12468.1 pkt_dts:1122122541 pkt_dts_time:12468 off:-12467588567 off_time:-12467.6

With ffmpeg's -fdebug ts I get lines like:

first_dts 1122082971 not matching first dts 1122097371
first_dts 1122084006 not matching first dts 1122098406 
first_dts 1122082971 not matching first dts 1122111771
first_dts 1122084006 not matching first dts 1122112806
first_dts 1122082971 not matching first dts 1122126171
first_dts 1122084006 not matching first dts 1122127206

The only close number I could get is using the numbers from the first line of the above output:

1122097371 - 1122082971 = 14400
14400 / 48000 (the samplerate) = 0.3

But I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing there or if that is supposed to make sense... ;)

Does anyone have experience with this and can help me to calculate the delay?
