           Summary: gst-ffmpeg / ffenc_flv generates unusable files
           Product: GStreamer

I'm trying to generate FLV videos with gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.1-2ubuntu1 and
latest gst-ffmpeg/ext/ffmpeg/* source files CVS (ffmpegmux support) with a
following gst-launch command line:

gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=input.avi ! decodebin name=dec dec. !
videoscale ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=352, height=288 ! timeoverlay ! ffenc_flv !
queue ! mux. dec. ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! audio/x-raw-int, rate=11025
! lame bitrate=32 ! queue ! mux. ffmux_flv name=mux ! filesink location=gst.flv

The generated file plays fine with ffplay. However, it is unusable with
browsers' flash plugins: playback is way too fast (30sec clip plays through in
few seconds). Also, the filesize is way too big. Playing with ffenc_flv's
options (eg. bitrate) doesn't help.

Running the resulted file through ffmpeg results in a much smaller file which
is also playable with a SWF based FLV player:

ffmpeg -i gst.flv -acodec copy -y foo.flv

[flv @ 0x555ed230]skipping flv packet: type 5, size 16464, flags 0

Seems that stream 1 comes from film source: 1000.00 (1000/1) -> 30.00 (30/1)
Input #0, flv, from 'gst.flv':
  Duration: 00:00:00.0, bitrate: N/A
  Stream #0.0: Audio: mp3, 11025 Hz, mono
  Stream #0.1: Video: flv, yuv420p, 352x288, 30.00 fps(r)
Output #0, flv, to 'foo.flv':
  Stream #0.0: Video: flv, yuv420p, 352x288, q=2-31, 200 kb/s, 30.00 fps(c)
  Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 11025 Hz, mono
Stream mapping:
  Stream #0.1 -> #0.0
  Stream #0.0 -> #0.1
Press [q] to stop encoding
frame=  947 q=31.0 Lsize=    1348kB time=31.6 bitrate= 349.8kbits/s
video:1208kB audio:124kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead 1.163194%

The resulting foo.flv plays fine in the SWF player and its size is only 1.4MB,
while the gst.flv generated with gst-ffmpeg is around 40MB.

This happens with all the input types I tried, including videotestsrc. Trying
to use videorate to force the framerate doesn't help either.

My efforts to import a more recent ffmpeg snapshot to gst-ffmpeg tree failed
miserably :)
