Hello all,

Recently I've encountered a problem transcoding video using ffmpeg.  Before
I start, I did see a previous post about the same problem at
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2006-November/005410.html,
but the original poster never followed up!  I appologize if I'm repeating
someone elses bug, but I looked and I didn't find anything!

Anyways, I'm trying to transcode from mpeg4 video/mp3 audio in an avi to
xvid/aac in an mp4.  This worked for me until the Debian packages were
recently upgraded.  I checked out a fresh copy from SVN just now and the
problem persists.  The problem is that that the specified output resolution
is ignored.  The command line I used was:

ffmpeg -f mp4 -vcodec xvid -b 300 -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -g 300 -ab
96 -acodec aac -s 320x180 -aspect 16:9 -i input.avi output.mp4

The "banner" that ffmpeg displays on the screen is:

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate:
23.98(65535/2733) ->
23.98 (23976024/1000000)
Input #0, avi, from 'input.avi':
  Duration: 00:42:59.4, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1138 kb/s
  Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 608x336, 23.98 fps(r)
  Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 128 kb/s
Output #0, mp4, to 'output.mp4':
  Stream #0.0: Video: xvid, yuv420p, 608x336, q=3-5, 0 kb/s, 23.98 fps(c)
  Stream #0.1: Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, 96 kb/s
Stream mapping:
  Stream #0.0 -> #0.0
  Stream #0.1 -> #0.1
Press [q] to stop encoding

So, as you can see, the output stream is set to the input streams
resolution.  Also, if I set the resolution to a greater value it is still
ignored.  So no matter what I do with the -s flag, my requested resolution
is ignored. I have access to a debugger, and I know how to use it, so if
anyone can suggest where I should be looking, I'll take a look!

Thanks in advance!
