WinUAE FPS adjust bug with AVI recording & audio speed

Al82 · 29 December 2018, 16:50

I think I've stumbled across a bug with audio speed when using AVI recording and modifying the value in 'FPS adj' under display options.

If I press F12 to bring up the menu then resume emulation without stopping the recording, the audio output reverts to normal speed, whilst the framerate continues to adhere to whatever value is in FPS adj.

Rep steps:

1) Start WinUAE (with logging)
2) Set Quick Start config to A500 for compatibility
3) Open 'Display' menu
4) Check 'FPS Adj.' option and enter value of 25
5) Open 'Output' menu
6) Configure AVI output (codecs irrelevant)
7) Click 'AVI Output Enabled'
8) Start emulation

-- Allow segment to record with some audio
-- Check console output: AVIOutput <xxx frames, (25 fps)

9) Press F12
10) Click OK (resume emulation without stopping AVI output) - error occurs here

-- Allow segment to record with more audio/video
-- Check console output: AVIOutput <xxx frames>, (50 fps)

11) Press F12
12) Stop AVI Output

If you playback the recorded AVI, the sound and video are synchronised at the same speed until the break in emulation between steps 9 and 10; when recording resumes, the video continues to record at the correct FPS adjust rate, but audio speed has defaulted back to original speed.

It's strange that console reports that AVIOutput is running at 50 FPS when the bug occurs.

Forgot to mention, this is the current 4.1 build

I am not sure if there is anything to fix, single avi can't have different frame rates so only possibility is to create new avi when refresh rate changes which isn't any different than stopping and restarting recording manually.

Hi Toni,

It's not that I'm trying to get different frame rates in the same video - it's the fact that the sound reverts to normal speed if you press F12 and resume emulation.

The video frame rate stays at whatever is set in FPS Adjust (correct), but the audio reverts back (incorrect) - I'll get a screen capture for you

Hopefully, this shows the issue in more detail:

The video frame-rate is maintained, but the sound speed changes back, which it shouldn't - I'm guessing it should be consistent all the way through

Should be fixed now.

Awesome! Thanks for taking a look at this, Toni!
