When editing the mp4 file in copy mode, the audio becomes desynced. (MP4v2 muxer)
mp4 file is from a livestream captured in ts and then converted to mp4 in copy mode (both using ffmpeg)

I tried editing the .ts file without converting to mp4, but avidemux hanged when trying to open it. And in my experience editing .ts files causes audio dropouts anyway.

I don't know if this is an issue of the video or of avidemux, since it doesn't happen with every video.

Files (mp4 original, mp4 edited, ts original):

Thanks in advance!

A few observations:

• the provided .ts sample is not the same video as the .mp4 sample;
• Avidemux tries unsuccessfully to index the .ts until killed:

• ffmpeg refuses to remux the transport stream unless the option mentioned in the error is added to the command line:
  
  [mp4 @ 0x564a7e7f6dc0] Malformed AAC bitstream detected: use the audio bitstream filter 'aac_adtstoasc' to fix it ('-bsf:a aac_adtstoasc' option with ffmpeg)
  
  
• The refineFps() function from the Mp4 demuxer in Avidemux results in wrong FPS value when loading the provided .mp4 which is a know issue. With the function bypassed the detected FPS value becomes correct;
• With audio delay set to -1300 ms Avidemux remuxes the mp4 just fine.
  

- Yes to convert to mp4 in ffmpeg you have to add the aac_adtstoasc filter, forgot to mention that.

- How can i bypass the refineFps() option?

- I been editing other videos from the same livestream and -1300ms shift seems to work pretty well most of the time, so that's good.

Thanks.

This is possible only if you build Avidemux from source yourself (which implies that you use either Linux or macOS): In avidemux_plugins/ADM_demuxers/Mp4/ADM_mp4.cpp in the function MP4Header::refineFps add

    return true;

straight after the opening curly bracket and (re)build Avidemux.

I'm using Avidemux 2.8.1 and the x264 codec + MP4 Muxer container. Firstly, there's no autosave for the current project – if the power goes out, everything goes. Another major issue: after processing the video, the audio becomes out of sync. This out-of-sync behavior increases over time. If the film is 2 hours long, the audio will be 2-3 seconds late at the end. The "Progressive High@L3" profile may be to blame. The "mp4" container and the timeline, which weren't available in older versions, may also be to blame. But even with the timeline set to its minimum, the audio still stutters. The video was tested on an LG-22MA53 TV. With Avidemux 2.7.4, the audio doesn't stutter. For example, download "Titanic" in 640x360 quality from kinovasek.net. Open the file in the program and save it with the following settings: Video - COPY, Audio - COPY, Format - MP4 Muxer. After this, the movie will play with out-of-sync audio. It turns out that only the MP4 container was changed, causing the audio to be out-of-sync. Now, repeat the same steps with "Titanic" in Avidemux 2.7.4, and the audio will be normal. Why? What am I doing wrong?
