ffmpeg must be configured as --enable-shared and installed prior
to compilation of mlt.
- Oddities
-
- There seems to be a discrepancy between audio and video pts (time
- stamps) which causes audio seeking to be unreliable in some cases.
- If audio playback is broken, try adding discrepancy=3 as a
- property.
-
- Not sure of the exact reasons, but am investigating.
-
Known Bugs
- Fixed frame rate.
Audio sync discrepancy with some content.
Not all libavformat supported formats are seekable.
ogg is currently broken.
- Multiple mp3 uses in a single instance causes crash (patch
- available on request - submitted to ffmpeg mailing list).
mpeg seeking is inaccurate - doesn't seek to i-frames so you may
get junk for a few frames.

+ Details
+
+ This producer is has two roles:
+
+ 1. it handles the mappings of all file names to the other
+ producers;
+ 2. it attaches normalising filters (rescale, resize and resample)
+ to the producers (when necessary).
+
+ This producer simplifies many aspects of use. Essentially, it
+ ensures that a consumer will receive images and audio precisely as
+ they request them.

Constructor Argument
- gain - a string containing one of:
- - a floating point value of the gain adjustment
- - a numeric value with the suffix "dB" to adjust in terms of decibels
- - "normalise" to normalise the volume to the target amplitude -12dBFS

- string normalise - normalise the volume to the amplitude:
- - a numeric value with the suffix "dB" to set amplitude in decibels
- - a floating point value of the relative volume
- - an unspecified value uses the default -12dBFS
-
- string limiter - limit all samples above:
- - a numeric value with the suffix "dB"
- - a floating point value ( dB = 20 * log10(x) )
- - an unspecified value uses the default -6dBFS

Dependencies

+ If a property "consumer_aspect_ratio" exists on the frame, then
+ rescaler normalises the producer's aspect ratio and maximises the
+ size of the frame, but may not produce the consumer's requested
+ dimension. Therefore, this option works best in conjunction with the
+ resize filter. This behavior can be disabled by another service by
+ either removing the property, setting it to zero, or setting
+ frame property "distort" to 1.
