Yep; I kind of knew that. However, this is the only method I could find to do 
this.  While it is completely wrong, it is working - how should I be 
calculating a PTS from the packet that is comparable with a real time code?

I got the calculation of frame period from the email that Kenneth Aafl?y sent 
on Saturday, "Re: [Ffmpeg-devel] Frame count/seeking".  In light of your 
comments would the following be more correct?

    MyPts = Packet.pts / Packet.duration * Stream.time_base;

This obviously still contains the dodgy " / Packet.duration"; which I'm using 
to create a frame counter - is there a frame count already in the packet?
