Duplicates first frame when exporting .mp4 from source .mp2 or .mp4

[Jim Sustacek]

Probably going to need the full ffmpeg command and console output, if not a link to a sample file too.

[Thomas Demirian]

My source file is 20 seconds. The exported video according to MEDIA INFO is: 20s87ms. The video is 20s40ms and the audio is 20s87ms.

And when I open the file in Any adobe application it also shows one frame more. And its placed in the beginning. A duplicate of the first frame.

ffmpeg command

ffmpeg -y -i x.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -direct-pred auto -aspect 16:9 -s 1024x576 -vcodec libx264 -bufsize 2500k -b:v 2500k -vmaxrate 3000k -vminrate 200k -vprofile baseline -level 3.1 -g 100 -bf 3 -x264opts b-pyramid=0 -coder 0 -movflags faststart -pass 1 -an -f rawvideo /dev/null && \
