1606 <para> | |
1607 You may experience some serious A/V sync problems while trying to mux | |
1608 your video and some audio tracks, where no matter how you adjust the | |
1609 audio delay, you will never get proper sync. | |
1610 That may happen when you use some video filters that will drop or | |
1611 duplicate some frames, like the inverse telecine filters. | |
1612 It is strongly encouraged to append the <option>harddup</option> video | |

1617 Without <option>harddup</option>, if <application>MEncoder</application> | |
1618 wants to duplicate a frame, it relies on the muxer to put a mark on the | |
1619 container so that the last frame will be displayed again to maintain | |
1620 sync while writing no actual frame. | |
1621 With <option>harddup</option>, <application>MEncoder</application> | |
1622 will instead just push the last frame displayed again into the filter | |
1623 chain. | |
1624 This means that the encoder receives the <emphasis>exact</emphasis> | |
1625 same frame twice, and compresses it. | |
1626 This will result in a slightly bigger file, but will not cause problems | |
