I was not aware that I had to explicitly set DTS if it is not explicitly set
in the MPEG PES packet I want to mux. I thought that setting DTS to
AV_NOPTS_VALUE was the right thing to do in this case.

I was aware that there is an implicit value in this case, though.


So thank you for the clarification M?ns and Michael.
