H264, B-frame dropped (the return)

[twinsun]

A small video record H264.mp4, where B-frames are dropped, when browsing or x264 reencoding, by Avidemux (r8494 and 8971).

I have another one, doing Avidemux to drop B-frame on the original.
But a video/audio COPY, done by Avidemux itself, solves the problem.
No B-frames dropped, browsing or reencoding the copy.
It's a kind of solution.
Not the case of above linked video.

The file has invalid timestamps
Vlc is complaining also

My VLC 2.0.5 two flowers plays it silently, with no drop, so does MPC-HC (1.6.6).

This video has timestamps issues, that the issue.

PowerDirector12, Handbrake, Hybrid, also drop the same b-frames, and preview, encode with same drops as Avidemux do.
Like that some of your ââ,¬Å"call next frameââ,¬Â says empty, so call the next one, ââ,¬Â¦ and so miss the frame.

But,
VLC, MPC-HC, play it with no complaint (don't know why yours do), with all frames, no drop.
VLC and MPC-HC have a way to easily reach these frames.

How do they get rid of this timestamp issue.
Not an issue for them.
Looks strange to me, isn't.

Interesting.
Looking at why my MPC-HC plays so well what is tricky for others players/encoders.
There are many H264 decoder filters, far to be equal.

I check what appends around the first frame skipped by most tools, frame nÃ,°10 of the video (link above).

1 - MPC-HC 1.6.6.6957, use it's own internal filters.

   Internal video decoder → PERFECT, No issue


2 ââ,¬â€œ MPC-HC 1.7.1 use LAV filters 0.59.1.26, instead of it's internal filters

LAV filters splitter options :
   VC-1 timestamps : path through or correction → drop issue

LAV filters video decoder options :
   LAV video decoder → drop issue
   DXVA2 (hardware) → drop issue
   Intel QuickSync (hardware)→ PERFECT, No issue

LAV video decoder, and others not listed here, are unable to access all frames.
On the other hand, Intel QuickSync, and MPC-HC internal filters, as video decoder, show that this video is fully usable.
