Already explained: no, pkt_duration is not part of the information taken
into account by libavfilter. The correct way of obtaining the end
timestamp is to use the link's timestamp after EOF. There is an old
patch series to ensure it is accurate, but it has been delayed by
bikeshedding.

Why?

And why was it bikesheded?

Several reasons that I have explained in the past. To make it short, the
information there is not reliable, not filled by the applications, not
updated by many filters and likely to be inconsistent. Is that enough?

> And why was it bikesheded?

For completely unrelated reason within the code of ffmpeg.c.

Sorry I did not know and I did not see any documentation in the header
explaining which field of the AVFrame can/cannot be used by filter.

If we cannot used the duration of the AVframe, how can we resolve the
problem I'm trying to resolve.
For example, if you take a video with a fps of 1 frame/second and you are
trying to convert it to 30fps, the duration of the output file will be
shorter by 1 second.
Knowing the last frame duration allows us to pad the last video frame with
the correct fps.

You are saying there is an old patch series to ensure it. How far are you
with it?
With the patch you are talking about, will we be able to do what i'm trying
to do with this patch?

Regards.

Yes, it lacks documentation.

Yes, it is meant exactly for that. The patch series I was referring is
this one:

https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-September/215988.html
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/5024/
(and next)

I thought I had cced you on one of the patches, but it may have been
ignored.

With this patch series, when a filter reaches EOF, the link->current_pts
contains the timestamp of the end, including the duration of the last
frame: from that, you can implement your patch in a very similar way.

(Although vf_fps would need to be rewritten to take advantage of the
link's FIFO, but that is more work, and not required immediately.)

As soon as your patches landed, I will re-work on my patch and send it to
the list.
