Encoding: Number of frames delay there will be from the encoder input to
the decoder output. (we assume the decoder matches the spec)
Decoding: Number of frames delay in addition to what a standard decoder
as specified in the spec would produce.
Video:
Number of frames the decoded output will be delayed relative to the
encoded input.
Audio:
For encoding, this field is unused (see initial_padding).
For decoding, this is the number of samples the decoder needs to
output before the decoder's output is valid. When seeking, you should
start decoding this many samples prior to your desired seek point.
- encoding: Set by libavcodec.
- decoding: Set by libavcodec.
