I am using below command to push the video to Wowza server, since we are pushing raw H.264 video, the RTP packet does not have the timestamp, and we could observe audio video sync issue while playing video using VLC Media Player. While executing the FFmpeg command, there is a warning showing as

[rtsp @ 0xb754bda0] Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 0. This is deprecated and will stop working in the future. Fix your code to set the timestamps properly

IS there any option available in FFmpeg to add timestamp in RTP packet and push the video and audio?

$ffmpeg -f h264 -i /tmp/enc_sd_stream.h264 -f aac -i /tmp/aud_rec_stream  -acodec copy -vcodec copy -r 23 -f rtsp

The usual solution for this situation: -fflags +genpts

It should eliminate the warning, but there's no guarantee your sync issues will be solved.

    This worked better than -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 when mashing a pair of avi files together. The resulting file synced up perfectly with the subtitle (.sub & .idx) files I had.

this worked for me as an option to ffmpeg: -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1

    If your read speed is different than stream framerate, output playback speed (and audio sync) will be wrong. Add -re before both video and audio input to avoid that.

This error can also be eliminated in some situations (VFR source files with unusual timebases) by using -vsync 0 -enc_time_base -1

As an input option -r ignore[s] any timestamps [...] and instead generate[s] timestamps assuming constant frame rate fps.

ffmpeg -r 25 -i "udp://...

Source:ffmpeg Documentation: Video Options: -r

This was the only option that worked for me.
