[vlc-devel] Video Time does not match Reported Time

[Eric Montellese]

Remi,

Thank you for your reply to this.  Do you happen to know which formats are
more accurate than others?  Any idea how one would go about improving the
accuracy? (would it be reasonable to consider modifying, or a serious
undertaking?)

If not, anyone have suggestions for a video player that puts accuracy as a
top design goal?

Thanks,
Eric
