[gst-devel] Slight audio/video sync problem - any suggestions?

[Jason L. Buberel]

I recently acquired a Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks, and have been 
trying to use gstreamer to capture synchronized audio/video from the 
device. The camera is a USB Video/Audio device, and I am using the v4l2 
driver.

My general configuration is:

Ubuntu 7.10
 > dpkg --list 'gstreamer*' | grep "^ii"
ii  gstreamer0.10-alsa                    0.10.14-1ubuntu3 GStreamer 
plugin for ALSA

The command I am using is:

gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! queue ! videorate ! 
video/x-raw-yuv,width=800,height=600,framerate=15/1 \
  ! ffmpegcolorspace ! theoraenc ! queue ! oggmux name=mux alsasrc 
device="hw:1,0" \
  ! audiorate ! audio/x-raw-int,rate=16000,channels=1,depth=16 ! queue ! 
audioconvert ! vorbisenc \
  !  mux. mux. ! queue ! filesink sync=true location=test.ogg

The result of that can be seen:

As you can see, there is a slight but significant sync problem between 
the video and audio. Are there any additional options that I can or 
should be using in order to better synchronize the audio and video?

Thanks,
Jason
