This command-line program often generates Past Duration Too Large error during the downscaling or encoding video content. One of the users who experienced a similar problem reported the issue on StackOverflow. It seems like it is a warning message rather than an error that appears when you try to encode a high frame rate file to a low frame rate output. What do they mean? I have not found anything clear online or in the ffmpeg documentation. The framerates are dropped in that case. Today, we will show how you can get rid of this warning message.
How do I fix the Past duration too large error in FFmpeg?
1. Set the input frame rate
The issue should disappear because the encoding is now done for 161/400 images. The system will delete the rest of the images. However, if the problem still persists head towards the second solution.
2. Add Sync Flags
The situation can be frustrating if you are unable to encoding or downscaling a video. It is important to find a quick solution in that case.
